Today dinner is at Sedap Malam. Seafood restaurant. tts where they grill the food. using charcoal. can grill squid, prawn, fish...
Pick your own fish. lots of different types to choose from.
crab and mussels on the menu.
our dinner. got prawn, lala, grilled fish,grilled eggplant.
coconut juice. you can choose for it to be served with the whole coconut or like this.
yah lunch is here! Soto tangakar.
This is how the stall look like. one of the few road side stalls we dare to go. its cleaner.
Food come liao! the rice have fried onion on it. typical of soto dishes. cant remember how much. think bout $2.50.
My mum crashed the car into a electricity pole when reversing. goodness.. nice dent....
This is tape. erm.. fermented tapioca i think in other words. so got a bit of alcoholic smell. i dun really like this. can only eat abit. my family like this tho. can eat a lot. this is one packet. worth. $1 a packet.
Avocado juice. Love this. green liquid is avocado juice. the chocolate strips is chocolate. to make it sweet. nice nice. price varies depending where you buy it.
Kerupuk. tts one bite. so it's pretty big. altho its big, its not solid. so you can probably eat two of those. theres got a lot of version of this. theres another type more ex and solid. but i dont think tts nice. this one is nice. bout $0.70, you have 10 of these. but watch out. its very heaty..
This is otak-otak. just a snack in between meals. It's fried. you eat it with black sweet sauce - kecap. and peanut sauce, a bit spicy. this is what we eat in sch in our early days. $0.85 a packet.
This is our char kuo tiao. Not as black as spore one. and think they are made up of different ingredient for the kuo tiao. $2.90 a plate.
This is the famous indo food! beef ball with bee hoon! its quite a small portion. can add chili. i can eat it everyday.. one bowl is $1.35.. i bought it outside a school. and eat it in the car. ha.. other place's beef ball is not tt good. this is the best i've eaten so far. but you can easily eat two bowls of this. one bowl got 10 balls and bee hoon.
This is our version of dou hua. This one bought off the street. the 'abang' will walk around residential areas and knock on a metal plate. those who hear and want it, will come out to the gate and buy. i''ve been searching for it since i came here and i just got it today. this abang version dou hua is super smooth. other places i bought is pretty rough. and it differs from spore version cos the sugar water is made up of brown sugar with ginger taste. so its kinda gingery hot. but you dont see the ginger. eat it warm. $0.70 a bowl. nice!!
This place is located in Jln Jakarta. It's my dad heaven. Basically its a stretch of Teochew food, mostly from Pontianak.
It's very packed there. lots of stalls.
you park your car up front and just go in and eat. looks dirty eh.. haha.. only the road tho. the food's fine. maybe bout hawker centre standard.
you can eat there or da bao.. we usually da bao. cos its pretty hot if you wanna sit there and eat.
mixed rice..
Live prawn at home. we bought it in the market. they are still jumping. but this batch is a bit too small. jumping prawn are not really readily available everyday in the market.
This is the delicacy! My dad called it buah ki (very small crab). Come from dad hometown, Pontianak. Sounds like the ghost.. and yea it is. according to my dad they do have a lot there. and it used to be called Kuntilanak, which is a more scary version or name of the ghost and they change it to wat it is now. my aunty bring it from there. They sometimes sell it in jakarta, although rare. and usually quality is not good and their size is big. we like it small cos if its too big, eat liao disgusting ah. haha.so we usually get it from pontianak. small and smells good.my mum, which is from medan, hate the smell though.cos of her different bakground, she finds us disgusting eating this. she kept complaining when we are cleaning this. but my sisters love it. hehe.. ya ngak ya ngak? ngiler deh.. Shel,zy,ys, this is why i like the crab thing in thailand. hehe. delicious. oh. its raw btw. been salted to preserve it the same way as salted fish i think.
This is what it looks like after cleaning. So you remove the shell and gills. wash it with water. then you chop small chillies, squeeze lime and put vinegar. mix the whole thing thoroughly. so you are basically munching on the legs and pincers only. i prefer the legs tho. the pincers shell is abit thick. so its harder to bite.of course it taste hot and sour, but it has its special taste too. you should keep it in the vinegar for a longer time then it taste nicer. so you should prepare this sometime before you devour it. hehe. so when you munch it, the meat will flow out and you suck those and its shell. aft that, you throw away the shell. and keep doing tt..
Drive pass a goat. They have lots of thm roaming around. surprisingly i see a lot of young one this time round. but didnt manage to take pic of them.
Dad in warehouse.
Farming. Oh yah, i planted chili plants in my garden. it sprouted already. have young leaves. then dunno which animal eat the leaves. think its having a hard time staying alive. haha. and i forgot to water it today too..
