Nope, this isn’t going to be a tribute to the late MJ who passed away on the 25th of June a year ago. Gee! How time flies! Actually, in this post, you will get to learn a bit about the history of kompia… …dating back to 1563 in the Fujian Province in China. Interesting, eh? [...]
Well, I saw it on the shelves in one of the two mini-supermarkets near my house and I decided to buy a pack to try… I am sure most of us are familiar with the packaging. Those A1 pouches of mixed bak-kut-teh herbs seem to be very popular and I see them being sold at [...]
…but the memories linger on. The pupils of St. Rita along Bukit Assek Road here would fondly recall this man called Ah Hua who used to sell kompia across the road from their school… *Gundot’s photo on Facebook Well, he is still around, looking exactly the way he did back then, and now runs a [...]
Well, Father’s Day was last Sunday and my missus made me a cake… Of course, it was nothing like the breathtaking professional creations of my blogger-friend, Breadpitt, but it certainly was very special and definitely a lot more meaningful than just picking up one from a bakery in town. It was her apple sauce butter [...]
I used to love coming to this place – The Ark, located at the Rejang Esplanade along Jalan Maju here. I loved the lamb curry and the sambal ladies’ fingers in particular and there were other nice dishes as well…and I loved the unique architectural design, the whole setting plus the pleasant ambience at the [...]
Sibu is well-known for its kampua noodles and kompia plus the sweet variety of the latter – the chu-nu-miang. Another Foochow delicacy that one can find in Sibu is the ma-ngee… It has its own special batter which brings about its own unique texture. Some people, I think, use the same recipe that they use [...]
I dropped by this coffee shop along Lane 13, Oya Road (approximate GPS: 2.29838,111.840091) the other day. When I was teaching in the secondary school a stone’s throw away, my colleagues and I used to come here for breakfast. I remember there was a stall where there was a nice-looking lady whose Foochow fried noodles and [...]
Eugene asked me once how my girl was doing in Wellington…and why I had not posted photographs of her for a while now. Well, guess she had been busy with her studies, all the assignments, tests and examinations…so she had not posted any on Facebook for a while. Well, she’s getting on fine there, praise [...]
Well, it’s back once again to the Ruby Restaurant which, by now, is a familiar name to all my blogger-friends, I’m sure. Even those from Kuching would find their own way there and if you read the review in this blog, you can see that they were really very impressed. Actually, my friend, Lim, was [...]
Yes, it’s so very easy to cook these dishes, that’s for sure! The first one is what I would call the steamed chicken with pickled lettuce dish for which you will need these ingredients… The minimum that you would need would be the ginger and the can of pickled lettuce…but I added some wolfberries as [...]
