I’ve tried…

Yes, I’ve tried the bacon jam…

…that my blogger-friend, Phong Hong, sent me the other day.

This was what it looked like, straight out from the fridge…

…and to give it a try, I had to go and buy a mini-baguette as we do not stock up on bread anymore these days now that my girl and the mum are on a gluten-free diet.

I sliced the bread and spread the jam on each…

…and toasted it lightly in the oven, not too generously as it was a small bottle and I would like to stretch it as far as possible.

*Drum roll* The moment of truth…

Wowwww!!! It was so very very nice it swept me off my feet. I really loved it so much. I would not say it was in any way the same but I would categorise it as something along the same line as the sambal you would get with your nasi lemak, not really sweet and not really salty either with a hint of sourish taste that made me think that there must be some asam jawa (tamarind) juice in it but no, when I looked at the ingredients…

…I think that came from the white wine vinegar used in the making.

I could detect the bits of bacon in it but only mildly with the strong but lovely taste of the sambal as a whole. Well, we had the rest with rice and it was gone in no time at all! So far, I have yet to try the other two bottles that Phong Hong sent so I cannot say anything about those…yet.
