For many Saturdays after dad was discharged from hospital, I have been having lunches with my parents and my brother at his house.
My brother goes out to tapau food for us and most of the time we have our favorite chicken rice. One day he delighted us with char koay teow and popiah.
The popiah is from a van in SS 2 that is famous for their goreng pisang.
Though the filling is ordinary, the popiah was very crispy and crunchy.
Very good eaten with the chili sauce that came with it or even better with Lingham chili sauce.
This char koay teow is from a coffee shop in Taman Tun Dr Ismail. My brother says that this CKT is very good. The stall is run by a lady who insists on frying her CKT plate by plate.
I'll have to agree with my brother that this CKT is awesome!
Yum! Yum!
Another day, it was Indian rojak. Yay! He bought 4 packets for the three of us, so it was 1 and 1/3 per person hee..hee...
Oh! It was so so good!
Not only that, also got cendol! Of course by the time the cendol reached home, it was all melted but still so good.
The rojak and cendol are from a restaurant somewhere in PJ State.
My brother couldn't find anymore big mugs, so he poured his into a bowl.
Well, that sure was fun. By the way, dad is recovering well and can now eat regular food. Which means that my porridge now sudah tak laku hah...hah....
Wow! Loads of carbs, no worries, eat first worry later. kakakaka!
ReplyDeletehah..hah... fat liao ah!
DeleteCKT on banana leaf, so seldom nowadays and it does provide extra aroma to the noodles~
ReplyDeleteYour rojak photo reminds me I haven't had rojak for some time ~.~
It was my first rojak in a long long time!
DeleteCKT looks good...and the Indian rojak too, saw a good one here that day, or at least it looked really good, yet to go and try.
ReplyDeleteThe CKT and rojak were excellent. Ah the joys of eating!
DeleteRojak and cendol always go hand in hand together. So yummy! I like eating them. Good to hear that your father is eating regular food now. Your frozen stash can give me ah?
ReplyDeleteLOL! I think my mum and dad have finished the stash of frozen porridge :)
DeleteWhat a fabulous brother you have who would drive to few destinations to tapao the best for his loving family.
ReplyDeleteI know which CKT seller and she looks like Hong Kong Tycoon Nina Wang with pony tail. Even my Penang friends love her CKT stall which is just a walking distance from my door. Hint! Hint!
You should advise your brother to place the chendol or ABC in ice buckets while driving. They will look the same when reached home. Say thank you!
I must go visit this lady's stall and see for myself how she looks like and maybe poke around to find your house LOL!
DeleteHi Phong Hong,
ReplyDeleteI have came across your blog and I found that you have a deep understanding on the use of Kaychiap.
I'm the grandson of "Mek Da" the only and current kaychiap maker in Kuala Terengganu, my grandma is old and she will stop making kaychiap soon; After knowing this, I decided to carry on the work because we don't want to see the precious tradition went dead...
I would like to share the use of Kaychiap and your recipes on our website so that more people will aware and know how to use this amazing local sauce... Don't worry, we will credit the recipe is from you and your blog's direct link also~
Kindly let me know if you allow my request...
Please email or whatsapp me @ senson@mekdataste.com / +60149390151
By the way you can have a look on our website here: Mekdataste.com
Thanks!
Hi Senson! I visited your website and how wonderful it is that kaychiap will be kept alive! I have sent you an email and yes, I am more than happy to share my recipes.
DeleteGood to know your pa is back to eating the usual food we take each day! He must be yearning for all kinds of food. Nice of your bro to bring back street food, they are still the best if you ask me! LOL..
ReplyDeleteHow true! God has answered my prayers and restored my dad's health :)
DeleteOh, I've eaten the goreng pisang but not the fried popiah. You must share with us which CKT this is in TTDI so that I can try. So nice and rajin of your brother to buy CKT in TTDI and then go to SS2 to buy popiah. When there's rojak, there must be cendol...btw, I think there's a mathematical error in the rojak...kekeke...I can understand coz you must be drooling while writing the post! ;)
ReplyDeleteBah! I suck at maths especially fractions hah..hah... Good spot, Kris! I already amended the typo, thanks. OK, this coffee shop if I am not wrong is at Jalan Burhanuddin Helmi. It is behind CIMB bank and you should see Maybank in front of the coffee shop.
DeleteThe name of the coffee shop is OK Restaurant at Jalan Aminuddin Baki. I remembered Kris went upstairs once for wine and music.
DeleteThanks, TM for pointing Kris in the right direction.
DeletePH: Thanks for trying to point me to the right direction even though you've got the jalan wrong...kekeke! ;P
DeleteTM: Thanks for telling me it's OK Restaurant..and you're right, it's on Jalan Aminuddin Baki. I know exactly where it is since you jolted my memory that I had wine and music there (your memory is really good). I went back to check that post of mine...and lo and behold...I even got a snapshot of the coffee shop.
You are most welcome ladies. That shows I read line by line all your blog posts unlike those who speed reads with T&Go mode and leave irrelevant comments. LOLOL
DeleteHi Phong Hong, the Indian Rojak is what we call Pasembor. We have Chinese Pasembor similar to this. Nice with all the crispy ingredients. The Indian Rojak in Penang comes with many other fried stuff like prawn fritters, fried crabs etc. I prefer the one without all these.
ReplyDeleteHi Kimmy! One day if I get the chance to go to Penang again, I must try the Pasembor in Penang. I love all those crispy stuff :)
DeleteHai PH, lama kaknoor tak makan rojak demgan cendol ni nampak pun dah tau sedap
ReplyDeleteHai Kak Noor! Kalau pekena rojak dan cendol, syurga!
DeleteOh my! That plate of CKT is definitely yummy and I like it too. Melted Chendol delicious as a drink.
ReplyDeleteWe sipped the cendol with the straw and it taste just as good!
Deleteooo, i'm also keen to know the location of the ckt shop - be sure to ask your bro, heheh! :D
ReplyDeleteIt's at a coffee shop Jalan Burhanuddin Helmi, behind CIMB bank and you should see Maybank in front of the coffee shop. I hope I got that right and did not mislead you and Kris hee...hee...
DeleteYum yum! Ckt and fried popiah. Love the combo. But cannot eat fried food too much for time being. I am recovering from cough. Sigh!
ReplyDeleteFried foods very heaty but I love it!
DeleteHmm, I wonder if I go KL, will i be delighted by Ah Hong Chee homecook foods... Hint hint..
ReplyDeleteAh Hong Chee will take you out makan!
DeleteThe Popiah looks crispy and yummy! I am craving for one now.
ReplyDeleteYour version of Indian Rojak is different from our version of Indian Rojak.
I remember watching a food series and I see that in Singapore, the Indian rojak got all sorts of topping including sausages. I almost pengsan! LOL!
DeleteWahhhhh! All so sinful! Haha
ReplyDeleteSinful lah sedap! LOL!
DeleteI should have been born this part of the World to try all the delicious dishes:)
ReplyDeletePerhaps one day you get to travel over here :)
DeleteEverything looks good for me! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI bet you would love the rojak and cendol!
DeleteThe health nut in me prefers the popiah that is fresh and not fried.
ReplyDeleteI actually prefer the fresh ones too.
DeleteYour brother knows where to get good food and he makes sure he brings back the best for you and parents. Every item looks delicious. So good to know that your dad is now enjoying normal food.
