Something different…

Lately I’ve noticed a change in my regular kuih-muih stall at Bandong. They seem to be selling more and more cakes of various varieties e.g. this one that they call “cheese batik cake”…

It is really very nice with the cheese cream and the grated cheese on top of the rich batik cake. I can’t remember exactly now but I think they were selling that for RM3.00…and I thought that was a bit too expensive. But then again, the sliced cakes at the bakeries are not much cheaper, possibly a lot more expensive even, and they do not even taste good.

I love this Horlicks cake selling at 50 sen per piece…

You can actually taste the Horlicks…like when there is some undissolved Horlicks stuck to the bottom of your mug and you scrape it with a spoon and put that in your mouth. Ooooo…nice! LOL!!!

But considering that you only get two pieces of a ringgit, I would rather stick to the local delights like this kuih deram, for instance.

For RM1, you can get four of those…and Sarawak laksa is selling for only RM2.50 a packet, 50 sen cheaper than the cheese batik cake and a lot more filling…

Of course, there are no shrimps or prawns. Surely you do not expect that for RM2.50! Even at Thomson Corner, if you ask for the normal ones at around RM4.00 a bowl, you only get three miserably tiny shrimps.

This one tasted good…but I was not too sure about the sambal. Instead of the usual sambal belacan that we would get with our Sarawak laksa, they gave something like the sambal for nasi lemak…

Somehow or other, when I mixed it with the gravy, it tasted different. Nice, but different…
