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!!!
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
