Nasi Lemak Sungai Yan, Kedah 椰浆饭

My Hometown Food: Nasi Lemak @ Sungai Yan, Kedah.

One of the best nasi lemak :D The unique of rice flavoured with heaps of spices, topped with the sweet and spicy sambal, and wrapped in a traditional banana leaves to make it tastes so good!!! Everyone plays a main character. Without you, no one is perfect. It is so true that unity makes strength!!

Still taste so good after so many years. It is quite hard to maintain the quality of taste. Proud of you makcik. Dad said it is only RM0.60 each. So cheap right??? I still remember it was only RM0.30 when I was in primary school. A very traditional Malaysian Malay food that loved by everyone and craved by every Malaysian that live oversea and those live in the city. You can only find this price and superior taste in KAMPUNG( village).

* Sungai Yan is a very small town in a village surrounded by paddy field. However there are a lot of nice places nearby such as waterfall spots, thousands step staircase to Gunung Jerai, fisherman's market and small islands. Due to its awesome geography location, my dad always takes his bicycle around the villages nearby, early in the morning with his bike's friends.

Yum Yum Green Curry Instant Noodle

Green Curry Instant Noodle After attending A Million Little Things in Strait Quay, I had a quick grocery shop at Sam's Grocery and the words 'Green Curry' caught my eyes. I know I shouldn't buy this kind of food but well I like to try new things you know. Honestly speaking for many people that live oversea, instant noodles indeed a drug to cure your craving for home town's food. Thus, not to surprise that there are many different flavours of instant noodles coming out in the market in these few years. The front package, flavours oil and seasoning If you noticed the soup clearly, it was a bit creamy but not green. Yea, I was a bit disappointed with the colour. It is hard for me to describe the flavour as it didn't taste exact like green curry but when I burp, it's green curry. Maybe I should not put high expectation on this kind of food - it is just an instant noodle, isn't it? Similar things when white curry noodles were so popular...

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 e...

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 ...
