The Hainan Legacy : Culinary Roots and Communities @ GeorgetownFestival 2015

  • The Hainan Legacy: They Came, They Tasted, They Innovated         
    • 2015-8-15: At Wanning Association. Thank you Burmah 108 for the special invitation to allow me to join this volunteering event in Georgetown festival culinary roots and communities dinner - 'modern Hainanese meal in an authentic setting'. It has been a great experience for me.


The leftover - Ik Bwa is Hainanese traditional chewy filled sweets made from glutinous rice flour steamed in a banana leaves casing. The skin is soft and the sweetness of filling is just right to eat. The inner fillings are crushed peanuts or shredded coconut flesh. Ik Bwa Symbolise fortune, happiness, sweetness and joy.  I am glad to have a chance to try this traditional food! Lucky me. 


Berjaya college junior chef was plating the dish. I wish I could help....

I am not from F&B background but I used to work in F&B part timely when I was a student for 3 years. F&B is always part of my interest and I hope I will be involving in F&B in future. Nice to meet you Chef! Great work! Chef Mr Adrian (a Sarawakian) operates a French cuisine restaurant in Singapore & now living in Penang. His plan is to open another restaurant in Penang.


This was the first time ever Penang Wanning Association (Persatuan Wanning) opened to public.

See how this young girl ate Ik-Bwa. So cute~

Stir Fry Clams Recipe with Fermented Soy Beans - lala 蛤蜊炒豆酱

Lala, one of my favourite mom's home-cook food. I hardly order this when I eat out in a restaurant because I am fussy about the taste and the freshness. M om's one is the BEST in quality and definitely the freshness.   Whenever I go back to home town, Yan Kecil in Kedah; I always look for seafood to eat especially clam and crabs!  I will hunt for them when I cycled around in the fish village . Otherwise I will ask my mom whether she can get it from the fishmonger in the market .  Initially I was looking for the harder, longer shape's clams but only this small type of clam so called 'lala' was available in the market during the Hari Raya day.  It was only sold for RM3/kilo in the marke t and more than enough to feed us for lunch and dinner. Seafood is so much cheaper to eat and fresh in home town.  The flesh is really small. So you have to be patient , take the flesh out one by one. Therefore some people don't like to eat them but I enjoy it so

Cintan Mee Recipe ( Stir Fry Noodles ) 炒金旦面

Cintan Mee - The Ding Dong Mee I love Cintan Mee so much, whether it is stir-fried with tomyam or soy sauce. I 'developed' this dish from an old kopitiam in my hometown which used to be famous of Cintan Mee. The shop was owned by an old couple but they closed the shop when I was in Year 5? Oh it was long time ago! Everyone miss their cintan mee.  Thank god for gifted me such a good tongue and I made it!!! The taste is similar but the method of preparing is differ from the old couple. Also, I skip some ingredients to make it easy and simple.  My sister loves it because she misses it so much as she was away from home for so many years. I remembered when I was in primary school and she came back from oversea, she will ask me to take away for her and she wanted it dry ( less sauce compare to the wet one). I could see she enjoys this dish so much whenever I cooked. Sadly I don't have any photo of how was the noodles looked. I really miss it. So why I

Okra：Simple and Healthy The preparation is very easy to go and save you a lot of time. My family loves this simple and healthy dish. Light and not oily.

It contains good source of fiber, vitamin C and folate. You can get 12 okra in a pack for only RM1. It is also easy to plant in warm tropical area. Ingredients 1 pack okra ( 10-15 okras, depends on size) 1 tbsp fried garlic 1 tbsp soy sauce Directions 1.
