'Kam Heong' means fragrant, be it lala, pipi or clams, they are the same. I love these, more so if they're done with chllies, spicy but then again it's artery-clogging. So, I just console myself, dig in first, and swim more later!
Once in a while I would like to have a vegetarian meal. What I like most is dishes made with bean curd sheets, 'fu chook' or gluten puffs. I've never been to this restaurant eversince they shifted to this new and bigger place and so last weekend, trotted there to check it out ....... Gui Lin vegetarian restaurant. We ordered 4 dishes for the three of us and let me introduce them to you, one by one ......
I was at the baking ingredients shop the other day and saw cartons of pandan and red bean paste just delivered from Kuala Lumpur. Having a soft spot for anything to do with pandan, be it bread or pastries I bought a packet each of pandan and red bean paste both at Rm5.50 per kilo. So tried out this pandan flavoured braid and it was ....... yummy!
Sesame chicken is quite a popular dish on the menu of most restaurants but I've yet to see sesame pork. So I thought I'll just give it a shot and I didn't regret trying out this dish. The pork fillet turned out yummy and it was toothsome biting into the meat coated with the sesame sauce and the crunchy shallots, cucumber and fresh home grown mint leaves.
This cake is delicious, chocolate with a bit of tangy lemon taste. It goes perfectly well with a cup of strong black tea. It's not too sweet as I've always reduced the sugar and added in some rum which makes it all the more delectable!
Recently, I met up with my ex-colleagues for Hi-Tea at Heritage Hotel and we did enjoy ourselves tremendously, catching up on old and present times. At 19 rgt nett the price was reasonable but @ 15 rgt nett for seniors age 50 and above, it was more affordable! We were there early, so I had a gala time snapping up pictures of the spread of food before people were able to dig into them!
I love spicy food and even though we're experiencing a 'heat wave' now, I just can't resist this ..... heaty, maybe, but no worries, can make some 'leong sui', cooling drink tomorrow!
