hello ya'll.my excuse for not blogging for so long = laziness .
anyways. i feel hungry at the moment. not because i haven't eaten ( actually i have not eaten but i'm not hungry hungry as in for food) but cause i'm craving for stuff.
if i could have things my way and crap if only Brunei had good Chinese hawker stalls like they do in Malaysia i would be COMPLETE =D
anyways, my cravings contains food that can be obtained from 2 islands.
THE MALAY PENINSULA
THE BORNEO ISLAND ( well only in the left side of the island in a small town called Kuching )
if i had these 2 islands combined ill be sitting in a hawker centre drinking 3 layer teh c. ooh heaven! and it only costs like RM 1.80 for a glass. thats like BN $ 0.90 ( its only a rough calculation yea)
and for the main course, ill have fried kuey tiao! extra spicy! yum yumm. Even better if they put cockels ;p i don't like eating fried kuey tiao in brunei. if u noticed, in most restaurants the fried kuey tiao is a dark brown colour due to alot of soy sauce. =.=''
and after fried kuey tiao i will go for a second round of asam laksa!
not this one yea. we have plenty of that in brunei and it cannot compete to the real thing. ASAM LAKSA contains noodles ( mouse tail noodles ), alot of fish as gravy, cucumber, pineapple etc.there are alot of vegetables and fish in it so it super nutritious. people tend to add a variety of vegetables to it but i prefer mine just with cucumber and alot of lime =D the lime is the final touch which gives this delicacy a hint of soury yet desirable taste. ( crapp im drooling already)
This dish has a combination of a spicy yet sour taste so i always eat ABC after that =) ( just recently i found out that ABC stands for Air Batu Campur. i always thought it was called ABC cause they add all types of things in it like chendol, red bean, pink sago, corn etc.) :p
In malaysia, i find that the taste of rose syrup or Bandung in the ABC is not so strong. Which is a very good thing. i dont like Bandung or rose syrup. its awfully sweet, too sweet. its like eating sugar with alot of colouring =.=""
After eating so much, i'll probably walk around to make use of what i just ate. Then after my tummy clears up abit ill have some TONG SUI. a very cold cold TONG SUI.
With the weather being so horribly hot something cold would be heaven.
Tong sui contains white fungus, longans and etc. however i like mine with alot of gingko nuts and chinese almond nuts :)
or maybe some OREO ICE CREAM ^.^
suddenly, i feel very full. it's like ive really eaten all these things just by talking about them. its a good thing good thing. can loose weight like this ! HAHA.
LOVELOVE,
YEELING :P
