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.
Good morning. The "tempeh" looks like oorrh hiang (xu xiang or prawn rolls) from far. From the crispy look, it did appeared delicious and tasty. Yums! Enjoy your weekends!
ReplyDeleteGood morning! I had a good weekend, thanks!
DeleteSince you shared a poster at the end of your post, I will share a quote in return. "Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive." By Elbert Hubbard.
ReplyDeleteOh! That sounds a bit scary LOL!
DeleteHah hah you find scary, I find it is quite humorous and at a lighter side which is quite true.

DeleteIt's good to see the lighter side of situations. Too serious, no good LOL!
DeleteI think I would like Teochew Guang Chiang. Last time I was at this eatery, I don't think I notice this item. Next time I will order it. Thanks for highlighting it.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend. Enjoy 😀
You will like it because it is crunchy outside but very soft inside. They revamped their menu and new things have been added. I enjoyed my weekend, thanks!
DeleteLovely presentations and photos! I like the quote at the end of your post as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda!
DeleteYeah, Teochew cuisine likes to use yam a lot. I wonder if the pig part I like could be heart (or tongue). Well, the next time you order that, I will know when I see it. ^_~
ReplyDeleteI enjoy anything deep fried that contains yam but I am not so fond of the dessert orr nee. Ah yes, I may order heart on e of these days and hopefully it is available.
DeleteMe too, I like yam in anything deep fried especially yam puffs, yam cake or yam ring....and not a fan of orr nee because of the pasty texture.
DeleteI was at Kimberley kway chap last weekend and they still don't have pig heart. Maybe next time.
DeleteThe Guang Chiang looks similar with the Ipoh stuffed Sar Kok, which is made with shredded jicama as filling, but difficult to get a nice one because they are either too much flour on the filling or too greasy after fried. I saw those butter cookies tower too, very attractive indeed.
ReplyDeleteThis sar kok that you mentioned, I am sure I would love that as well hee..hee...
