Nice…

If you may recall, when I got back from our trip to New Zealand, mummy-blogger and fellow-Sibu blogger, MerySia, dropped by my house to give me these goodies that she had brought over from Medan, Indonesia…

…when she came back here after her holidays in her hometown.

I’ve not tried to fry rice using the seasoning in the packet yet and other than that, I put the packet beside the one with the big green ribbon in the freezer and did not manage to fry them to eat until just the other day. She could not tell me what they were and her instructions were to keep them frozen and to take them out when I was ready to cook them and eat – and that was exactly what I did. The rest of the stuff? Well, they’re all long gone now, of course! Hehehehehehe!!!

When I unsealed the packet and took out what were inside, I found that they were, in fact, some kind of rolls…

I heated some oil in the wok and deep-fried them till golden brown…

…and when I cut one to try…

…I found that it tasted pretty good.

I would think they were actually some kind of popiah but other than the carrot, cabbage and whatever else inside, they had potatoes as well…

My daughter enjoyed eating them too and we had them for dinner that evening and finished the whole lot in one sitting. Thank you so much, MerySia. It was nice, very nice!

And to move on from there, that day, when we went here for lunch, my missus bought these Portuguese egg tarts…

…from the bakery. I tried one but did not feel it was all that great – as it was, I would think that I had had nicer ones elsewhere. Perhaps, I should have heated it up in the oven first before eating.

Well, that was exactly what I did with the chicken pies (RM1.80)…

…that she also bought and I must say that they were really very nice!

As you can see from the photographs, they had huge chunks of meat inside…

…and mushrooms too…

Theirs are not the “usual” chicken pies that I am more accustomed to, like the awesome ones here that I like a lot. I think this is their own original recipe and it tastes good – nice for a change, I would say, and that’s all that matters.
