A Meet-up and Mamayu Nasi Kukus


Elin of  Elinluv's tidbits corner and I had a wonderful time recently meeting up with Gertrude of
My Kitchen Snippets and Sonia of  Nasi Lemak Lover.  It was my first time meeting up with Gertrude and Sonia. The venue was lunch at Madam Kwan's, MidValley.  Sonia brought us some yummy pumpkin angku kuih as dessert and Gertrude's classmate Yik Wah joined us later.  We had so much to talk about and chatted like old buddies and if not for time constraint we could have stayed on longer.

The next agenda on our list that day was a 'date' with Andy Lee, the young and enterprising co-owner of Mamayu Nasi Kukus at the Oasis Food Court of the Midvalley Megamall.


Here's a short introduction of Mamayu......

Mamayu was born into a family of cooks from Tanah Merah, Kelantan. At a very young age,  Mamayu has shown passion for cooking, often following her mother to their stall to learn the trade.  After years of cooking and guidance from her mother, she has managed to master the skill of cooking authentic Kelantanese cuisine such as their very well received Kuah Kerutuk & Gulai Kawah.  


Ayam Goreng Berempah .... crispy on the outside, moist and juicy on the inside.


Mamayu Nasi Kukus ..... with Kuah Kerutuk on the left and Gulai Kawah on the right.

Nasi Kukus is steamed rice and at RM 8.90 it comes with a whole leg of Ayam Goreng Berempah, cucumber slices, mixed vegetable and some prawn crackers...... value for money, right?  



Nasi Lemak with Ayam Goreng Berempah, fried peanuts, ikan bilis, half piece of hard boiled egg, prawn crackers, kuah sambal, cucumber slices and topped with their yummy crispy rempah.  Also priced at RM 8.90 and only RM 4.90 without the Ayam Goreng Berempah...... another value for money meal!

For breakfast they serve Rice Noodle Rolls, something like the 'Chee Cheong Fun' not flat but rolled up like a spring roll.

Do drop by Mamayu's kiosks and try out their food and I'm sure you won't be disappointed for they were good, especially their kuah and sambal, not forgetting the Ayam Goreng Berempah.

According to Andy, Mamayu Nasi Kukus has 3 branches and they are located at :-

MamaYu 1st kiosk:
Ming Tien Restaurant
Jalan Pjs 11/28a, Bandar Sunway.

MamaYu 2nd kiosk:
Restaurant Nam Yiang
Jalan Pjs 7/22, Bandar Sunway.

MamaYu 3rd kiosk:
Mid Valley Oasis Food court, lot no.10

We left Kuala Lumpur with a 'bloated' stomach, at least, myself and I had to forgo dinner as I've had far too much chicken and rice for a day.  And Gertrude and Sonia, thank you so much for your lovely gifts and it was nice meeting both of you and Yik Wah.

Herbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Gao

H erbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Ga o literally translated means 'Tortoise Jelly' is one of my family's favourite desserts.  It's much more economical to prepare this at home for you'll need to fork out between Rm 9 to Rm 11 for a bowl of this cooling dessert in any of those herbal tea outlets.  This soothing jelly, served chilled, is supposed to be able to help reduce our body heat, helps to get rid of toxins and is believed to be good for the skin thus culminating a healthier complexion.

Braised Pork Belly with Mui Choy ~ 梅菜焖五花肉

Mui Choy is preserved mustard greens and there are two types, one is salty while the other is sweet.  There are many ways of cooking mui choy with pork belly.  Instead of braising, you can steam it with minced pork but here I am using only the sweet mui choy and I braised the pork belly with it.  This is a flavourful dish and you can serve it with plain rice or plain porridge. Braised Pork Belly with Mui Choy   ~    梅菜焖五花肉 Ingredients  400 gm pork belly cut into bite size 100 gm  preserved sweet mui choy 3 cloves of garlic 2 slices ginger Seasoning for the pork belly 1 Tbsp dark soya sauce 1/4 Tbsp sugar 1/4 Tbsp sesame oil 1/4 Tbsp oyster sauce 1/2 tsp pepper 1/8 tsp light soya sauce Method Season the pork belly for about an hour or more.  Set aside. Soak the mui choy for 45 mins., rinse and squeeze dry.  Cut into slices Heat some oil in the wok, fry the mui choy.  Add in the ginger slices.  Stir-fry. Add in the pork  belly, fry for a while and

Steamed minced Pork with Mui Choy ~ 梅菜蒸猪肉

This is a homey, comforting dish which you can never find on the menu of a Chinese restaurant.  Perhaps you may find it in an economy rice stall.  There are two types of Mui Choy (梅菜) or preserved mustard, one is salty while the other is sweet and in this recipe, I used the latter.  The Mui Choy lends flavour and aroma to the dish and most often is paired with pork, either minced or pork belly chunks.  In this recipe, the minced meat must be with a bit of fat, otherwise the dish will turn out dry and dense.  Give this a try and see whether you like it or not. Steamed Minced Pork with Mui Choy ~  梅菜蒸猪肉  Ingredients  320 gm minced pork with a bit of fat 70 gm sweet mui choy (preserved sweet mustard green) Seasoning for minced pork 1 tsp sesame oil 1 tsp Shaoxing wine 1/2 tsp light soy sauce 1/2 tsp sugar 1 Tbsp oil 2 Tbsp cornflour 3 Tbsp water Method Marinate the minced pork with the above seasoning and stir the pork in one direction, till sticky.  Set
