Good Carb Day : Teochew Guang Chiang

The other day when I passed through The Starling, the concourse area was empty.

When I see empty space like that, it reminded me of the start of Covid 19 and I shudder to think of what we all had to go through! Never again, touch wood!

But as always, the concourse comes to life near the end of the week.

I say, travel fair again. Where got people got so much time to go holiday? Everyone except me. Bah!

Well, I got to take care of my stomach first.

So I went back to Kimberley Kway Chap. I wanted pig head and pig heart but the heart was not available.

So I opted for pig ear (again) and added a little something else that was deep fried.

This is Teochew Guang Chiang. I had no idea what it was and it looked like tempeh on the menu. Of course it wasn't. Where got Teochew people eat tempeh?

When I bit into it, I realized that this is made of yam. I love yam! Crispy on the outside and fluffy inside with a faint hint of five spice powder. Very nice!

When I went to pay the bill, I found out from the boss that this is an authentic (vegetarian) Teochew delicacy made with yam, peanuts, radish and five spice powder. This is my to-order-again on a carb day. I loved it a lot.

Since I indulged, I had to walk off the glucose. So I returned to The Starling where this magnificent (my photo did not do it justice) showcase of GPR Gold Butter Cookies were on display.

The butter cookies are packed in tins with very attractive designs.

It has that very atas look and is great as gifts.

There is a promotion currently ending 22-06-2025.

I did not buy any of course. 

Indeed. The strength not to eat cookies wahahahaha!!!
