I couldn’t help myself but when I saw Cleffairy’s post on the corn fritters that she made, I went out and bought myself some cucur sambal…
…which were very nice (4 for RM1.00) but the sambal inside was kind of nutty – something that tasted like satay gravy. I think I would prefer something like the sambal that we usually get with our nasi lemak…
It did not help either that Gerrie posted some photos of the sambal that she made on Facebook…
…and got me drooling away, so I just had to drop by my regular Malay food stall in Bandong to see what they had. I thought perhaps I could get some sambal petai but they did not have any. I did manage, however, to buy some sambal timun…
…which was really good and for RM2.00, I would think that was a steal. Furthermore, at least I did not need to go through the trouble of making my own sambal udang kering (dried prawns) to go with some cucumber.
Now, I’ve yet to see Stella’s photos of her lor mee – she said the other day that she would be cooking some…after drooling over the photos of the pork rib noodles that I had featured in an earlier post. I guess she could not help herself either. LOL!!!
Comments on: "I can’t help myself…" (23)
The sambal alone can sure make ppl drool ^^
Did not sleep all night just to be the 1st!!! (gnikoj)
Looks real good eh? Gerrie would be thrilled to see this! What? You didn’t sleep just to be FC? Next time, just let me know – I’ll tell everyone not to comment till you’ve done so (gnikoj too)!!! LOL!!!
Oh, God! *horrified* have mercy… all of these are my favourite food. T_T
Really? And I thought nobody would be interested in what I have in store today. Hehehehehe!!!!
The cucur is ok to me… I mean, i would have prefered it better if it’s sambal ikan bilis…or sambal udang….but the sambal timun and sambal tumis is to die for. I’m drooling. those are yummy! I bet the sambal timun would go well with kari kepala ikan!!! GAWD…. *DROOL DROLL*~!
Exactly!!! Not that crazy over the sambal – have tasted others that are nicer. Sambal timun with fish head curry? Usually there will be all the veg in the curry already…. I usually would not cook anything else – all-in-one.
ohhh… I like satay gravy, never have it with ‘cucur’(here we also call ‘cekodok’) though!
Happy Sunday to you!
It’s nice…just that I prefer the nasi lemak sambal. And a Happy Sunday to you too!
Anything that has got sambal is heavenly,enough to get me going for more helping of rice
Ah! A typical Penang-ite! Sambal lover… Me too!!!
LOL… Eugene like me lah… typical Penang ah lian.
you give me sambal or curry, den I will makan like no tomorrow! 
Wah! We all sama gang lah!!! Must get together for sambal party some day…
Hahaha! tham chiak to the max! Now you know y we ‘pei kia; when looking at your food pics! Abt the lor mee,not so nice, a bit bland, my actual camera no battery,did take with my mobile n waiting for my PA to upload. He is very busy nowadays, too many social programmes! so akan datang, LOL!
LOL!!! You did not try when you cooked? Tambah a bit of this, tambah a bit of that? That’s why I never can follow recipes – better to get the idea and go about it agak-agak! That’s why I cannot make cakes! Well, hope to see the pics soon!
I’ve never tried making cucurs – maybe I should one of these days. But lately, getting lazier and lazier – anak not at home.
Oh boy! Be still my heart. An assault of sambal !! *drool
Hahahahaha!!!! Gets you all excited, doesn’t it? Wait till you’re overseas – it will be even more torturous!
Eat these warm…. crispy hot will make me croak the next day… oooh.. it is 10.55am now… my stomach is growling.. ok going out now to buy something good!
Better to let it cool a bit…or if you must take it hot, do not drink cold water or cold drinks with it – otherwise, guarantee sore throat! So what did you go and buy? Something nice?
Went to eat noodles (loe shu fun) with minced pork… one big bowl.. now very full …. sleepy too!
Sunday today…eat and sleep! This is the life!
is it too early for lunch right now? =/
Not really. 11 already – can have brunch. breakfast plus lunch, just nice for a lazy Sunday!
“Tham-chiaks”-r-us! How to avoid food when we greet each other with “have you eaten?” instead of “how are you?”. LOL!
Yalor…eating is our culture. We eat to live AND live to eat. LOL!!!
am drooling at the sambal timun…Not really keen of cucur things. Maybe cos fried. I get sore throat very easily
You have tonsilitis? Anyway, not good to take deep fried things too much…and don’t take straight from the wok. Some people love that – said it’s nicer. I usually wait till they have cooled down a bit…
Ah jie ah… u dun like fry things nvm…you give me, I makan for u. LOLOL!
Hahahaha!!! Scavenger?
I don’t think I can help myself either. Just look at the sambal!
Ya…Malacca people, apa lagi? Home of the Baba Nyonyas!!! Drool!
I could not help myself too…instead of cucumber am using the unripe mango. I follow Gerri recipe and have a small jar of sambal in my fridge. haha.
Next time you better post in health food.
Sambal healthy mah! No oil, no fat…eat with raw veg. Yum! LOL!!!
Not my recipe, I got it from this blog:
http://cherryonacake.blogspot.com/2009/01/sambal-tumis-sauteed-chillie-paste.html.
Wah! Sambal also follow recipe one kah? Me, everything agak-agak – old school! Hahahahaha!!!!
Sunday.. is a good day to resist temptations..
You have very strong will eh?
first time being soo late at here.
first time i know about sambal timun, spicy one ah?
Hi! Welcome back! Hope you’re ok now. The sambal timun – not really spicy but if you want it like that, then you can add more chillies. I posted my own version before with sambal udang kering… Nice!
Good ol sambal……nice to eat! Got some chillies in the fridge, maybe time to make some sambal again!
Hahahahaha!!! Gosh! We can’t help ourselves, can we?
wow, the sambal tumis does look very good! and the red is so nice!
Yup, it looks really good…but then again, she has a DSLR! Hahahaha!!!!
lol.. STP is easily tempted
Cucur sambal I’ve never seen but I know of Burger Malaysia. You know that? I so love that but hard to get good ones these days..
