The other day, in my kantong post, I mentioned this guy called Ah John who, in my younger days, used to push his covered tricycle past my house, selling kantong and also rojak. Much later, I started making my own using prawn paste from Penang…but lately, we can buy the rojak mix in plastic bottles, all ready to be eaten. That will save one the trouble of mixing everything in the correct proportions but personally, I find that it is not as nice as it should be. So if I have the time, I will usually add some crushed khong therng (peanut candy)
…and mix that with the rojak paste…
…and I will also squeeze into it some of the juice of the kalamansi lime…
Blend all that together thoroughly and you have the perfect rojak dip to go with your pineapple, cucumber and the works! You can add a bit of attap sugar if you want it a little bit sweeter…
Not a fan of rojak, are you? What about doughnuts? Were you one of those queuing up at the Pavilion in KL or even the Spring in Kuching to buy those doughtnuts? Actually, I’m not really into those kuih gelang (bracelet) as the Malays call it but the ones they sell at the stalls in the kampung here are really very nice…
I wouldn’t call them gelang as they’re very small, more like cincin (rings). You can compare them to the 50-sen coin that I’ve placed beside them in the photo. I quite like these as they’re somewhat rich in taste and not too sweet…and the best part is they’re only 10 sen each – 10 for RM1.00. It certainly is hard to find anything that costs 10 sen these days.
Well, this next photo has nothing to do with rojak or doughnuts. I just want to show you what I cooked for myself for breakfast…
Have you had yours yet? LOL!!!
Comments on: "A little bit more…" (52)
Pa, will you bring some rojak and kompia here when you visit KL? Missing Sarawakian food so badly….
Kompia…no problem, but rojak – don’t you have that all over KL? Aiyor…so kesian, my son! LOL!!
bay pui si kaÿ-áá! people add peanuts, you add khong therng… and so much also!
Easier…just crush, no need to pound…and already sweet, so no need to add sugar to offset the sourness of the lime – kill two birds with one stone! Hehehehehehe!!!!
Ya! I also like kong terng in my rojak! So nice! Better than peanut alone. Hehehehehe!!!
Gee! We seem to like the same things…and thank goodness, you’re not the same shape as me! Hahahahahahaha!!!
Not…YET! Hahahahahahha!!! And I hope not…
Don’t worry! Quite impossible! Lady 9 months’ pregnant also the waistline not as big as mine! Hahahahahaha!!!
Wah…. got kong terng and add atap terng some more. Kena kencing manis ooi…heheheh. Sian ah… no holiday today.
Eat once in a blue moon lah! But yesterday, my missus and I finished the whole pineapple! Normally, she would buy and keep in the fridge until it started to rot…;no rojak liao, not laku!!! Hahahahahaha!!!
Yalor! We kuli where got holiday? Still have to earn money for them what…
Hehehehehehe!!! Holiday or no holiday, makes no difference to me! *rub hands together with glee! LOL!!!
oh no! maggi mee! pls dont ruin my diet LOL!
You like? This one I added two big prawns, one egg and some green veg plus a few wolfberries! VERY nice…. Not for you though, later cannot fit into your wedding dress! Hahahahahaha!!!
I’ve been hearing lots of people complaining i take too much of maggi mien. i guess now the aftermath of those years shows.. my hair thinning and fall off badly
anyway, i love putting lots of vege, but never the prawn. you know the dried pork fat bits? Iban called it ‘lanyih’ i think. try add it in.. gerenti juling! LOL!
Just reading about it and I’m already drooling! Hahahahahaha!!!! Just use half of the seasoning. With the extra ingredients, no need to add all! Already very tasty!
Add some pounded chilli to the rojak paste and droolsss!!!!
Ya, Ah John used to do that…but this ready-to-eat rojak mix is quite hot already as it is. Would certainly do that when I use the real Penang rojak prawn paste…
Wonder what’s the different ingredient between Rojak Bintangor and Kuching…Any idea?
Dunno? Never ate rojak outside…only my own homemade one! Not the same kah? I thought everywhere more or less the same? I know got one stall in Bintangor very famous! Maybe they use Sarikei pineapples, so nicer?
Ches!!! You are suppose to mourn. Holiday pulak! Lucky thing we are not told, “Wah..want to enjoy..go back to work tomorow!!!”
Yalor! These young people! No respect! Shoo! Shoo! Go back to work! LOL!!!
Alamak! Adam in the bottom 3!! And Kris too!!! And of course, Matt! Then, Kris was told he was safe! Guess who’s out! Bwahahahaha!
Lemme guess! Lemme guess! Lemme guess! Matt?
I had predicted that correctly. But Simon described him as “brilliant”. Either he had gone deaf or he wanted people to vote him out! They always do the opposite of what he says! LOL!!!
But but but Adam and Kris bottom three??? Why??? Americans are tone deaf kah? Why is it not Danny? He’s so forgettable.
Danny was very good last night and I liked Allison too though she was way beyond her age. I think the bottom 3 choice is fair and square!
Management encouraged us to go pay last respects. So got lesen to go out…. but ended up at Rojak Kassim instead. Hahah
I bet none of you ever reached the place where the burial took place! This management should know what the staff is capable of! So dumb! LOL!!!
hahahahaha went to pay respect to Haji Kassim instead eh hahahaha
Choi! Choi! Later you people no more rojak, then you know!
Hahahahahha!!! I wish my management encouraged us to do the same. But no sound from the top also. I want to go back and nap an hour mar…
Nap? Didn’t have a good night’s sleep last night? What were you up to? Wink! Wink! Hahahahahaha!!!!
The son also got make Kassim rojak at King’s Centre. And it’s even more expensive than the father’s 0.0!!!
The son? Which one would that be? Not Rem – the singer, I’m sure!
da khong theng i likey!
fav since young le
Must buy the local ones – nicer and must know where to get also. The imported ones (from West Malaysia) not so wangi and a bit sticky/gooey!…Btw, your first time here? Welcome and do drop by often!!!
YUP! West Msian khong terng not nice at all!
Nothing like the Sibu Foochow ones! So nice and brittle, you’ll surely make a mess when eating it and so wangi!
eh dat one was me…my fren use my lappie 2 sign in just now
paiseh ar
I see! Never mind…the more the merrier! LOL!!!
You sure have a nice breakfast with big prawns in the instant noodles! Yummy!
Haiz! At my age, not much else that I can enjoy…other than good food! Hahahahahaha!!!
Nope! I haven’t had mine yet! The prawn look very big huh!
Those are the medium-sized ones. Only around RM20 a kilo. We don’t like the big ones as they’re more expensive and it’s all head…and very little body! Easily available here!!!
WOww! Still can get 10sen kuihs these days meh?? Unbelieveable! Your breakfast looked yummy!
Yes…and that day, I bought some cucur pisang from the Kuala Penyu lady here. She told me they’re 8 for RM1.00…and I repeated that, so surprised it was so cheap. She misunderstood and quickly explained that it depended on the price of bananas – price going up, otherwise 10 for RM1.00. Aren’t things so very cheap here? Hehehehehehe!!!!
I’m not a fan of rojak, I like the cincins keke
And I also had the same breakfast as you, minus the prawns.
LOL!!! Watch it! Not when you’ve already succeeded in losing so much weight!! Do as I say not as I do!
i m more interested in your breakfast…hehe.. i love the mee noodles..
I believe in having a good breakfast to start off the day. Ah well, I guess I believe in enjoying myself…any time of day, where food is concerned. Very indulgent, I know!
Isn’t mee=noodles???
Yes, young lady!…Now, you can leave the nice lady alone! Go and pick on someone your age!
must you always? tsk! tsk!
Yalor…and besides, sometimes, too much pf something may lead to an overkill!
oh yes! I can’t help it
Besides, I’m too free!
Go play in your newly-signed in Facebook…and you can sign in on Skype as well. I’m sure you’re on msn too, aren’t you?
The khong terng I normally sprinkle all over the rojak after I tossed them fruits, dried beancurd and yew zha kueh.
I’ve never had yew cha kway in my rojak. Dried beancurd? The tauhu phok, you mean? I thought they’re fried? And why do they call it rojak buah-buahan or fruit rojak when there isn’t any fruit in it – cucumber, mangkuang, tauhu phok…only the pineapple!
Wow wow, my saliva drips upon seeing the kalamansi lime…LOL!
Eyew! I thought sour things will lead to some kind of cramps on the sides of your face somewhere under the ears? At least, I didn’t cut them into halves for the photo…
how, thee?!!!
How, who?
… injun guy
You’re talking to windwalker? I can’t make head or tail of what’s going on.
Hahahaha…she must..go girl ..go. just love that…hahahahahaa
Don’t encourage her! At your age, you should know better…
you also snau-too!!! putting her up to run your dastardly deed… the lobster had to be the bride!
It’s a prawn…not a lobster! LOL!!! I guess she’ll be cooking the two tomorrow…and will be posting it on her blog pretty soon!
i mean, bribe!
Slip of the tongue/finger, not the thought of mind. Well, you knows? There may be “a prawn under the stone”? Only the parties concerned will know! Hahahahahahaha!!!!
*whistle* Partner in crime! Hahahahaa!!
Interesting…very interesting!
But doughnuts have been listed as the number 1 food to avoid leh… “Two doughnuts and one diet coke please”…
Knowing you, I’m sure there is some connotation that I am not in the least interested to know about!
psss..psss.. I think the coast is clear liaw…tell you a secret..my mum stays just next to Penang in Tabuan Laru..HAHAHHAAa..that one really baytahan…go girl go..
What coast is clear? What are you two up to?…..Now the plot thickens….. Ah well, stranger things have happened!!!
Oh really? I stayed somewhere there too! On the left got (Fat Cat) Sarawak Laksa and the likes. On the left got Penang Bridge.
Ooi! You so free kah? Aren’t you going to cook the prawns or is your MIL going to do that for you and you just eat??? Humph! Young girls these days….
*right, I mean
There! Lucky thing you corrected yourself in the nick of time! Lots of people waiting at ringside to pounce on you…so watch out!
P.S. I hate this reply feature. Sometimes, can’t make out which comment somebody is replying to…and have to visit the site to check…and even there, it’s not really clear. If only I could remove it…
Of course will cook them myself! Hehehehe!!!
Well, that’s for you to know…and I guess we’ll never find out. Kpenyu, have you got the belacan mihun recipe from her yet? Hehehehehehe!!!!
you mean, you stay at one of those wooden houses that float whenever there is a flood?
Haiz!!! I’ll just stay in the sidelines and watch the fun…
Wah! Wrestling kah?
BTW, don’t know how to remove them also. Bo pian lor you gotta open two browser. One to reply comment and the other one to check which comment refers to which. Hahahaha!!!
Looks something like it…the way things are going! Two browsers? No lah! If replies are not very clear, I’ll just say that I’m lost…end of story!
stp…you still need to file income tax ka?? Last day for e-filing…nanti denda O.
I already paid…and just got the receipt today!!! I’m not so panjang umur like some people!!! Humph!!!
I think I know why stella glaringly absent this Idol result day..Adam tay-tzar-boi.
ya..I saw the recipe.
He was 2nd last eh… Kris was sent back 1st. Stella’s probably gone off somewhere – enjoying the long weekend. I think Labour Day’s a public holiday there too! So nice…
Clare: King centre got kassim meh? Do you mean kuchai? That one not kassim family but janggut family.
Ya…when it comes to food, ask the people who know! Yunno who they are by the shape and size! Hahahahaha!!!
Kassim’s anak (or whoever it is, Janggut kah?) branch out selling the Kassim rojak at King’s Centre (at a corner kopitiam somewhere there) at a ringgit or two more expensive. Janggut who? Only know Tok Janggut’s nasi briyani at Chonglin Park. Heheh!
That’s the one! Heard he’s related to the Batu Lintang one – Indian rojak with the red gravy. Don’t like – prefer Kassim’s with gravy like satay sauce – pasembur, I think they call it…and something like gado-gado.
Ya hor..so his chinese name is Adam Tay Jee Boi. Now I hope Alison does the ladies proud by winning the show…having more fun in you tube with the Bristih show though.
You homophobic, are you? I posted the video of an ah kua on Facebook from Britain’s got talent…but then you’re not active on Facebook….so never mind! Technophobic too, I guess? LOL!!!
kpenyu…watching on youtube nice meh? I suppose it’s convenient cos you can see individual clips. I can’t get used to it…hehe
I watch youtube…as somebody’s hogging the tv with the Chinese, Korean, Japanese or whatever dramas! LOL!!!
You are back..got rid of the flu already I hope.. What to do..astro nothing to see.
Aiyor…flu, just take Clarinaise! OK liao…very effective! Malaysian-made cheaper, and good enough! Fabercol also good…but will make you drowsy!
It was Korean!!!! …hahahahahaha..sure she ban me liaw
Habis! Next time you come to Sibu, no free lodging liao! Hahahahahaha!!! What Korean only? Sometimes Japanese…sometimes Chinese…Taiwan Hokkien also got! And half the time, somebody’s crying…and crying…and crying!!!
