Well, wasn’t the best but one is very hard put to find Penang Prawn Mee in Kuching.
The taste was definitely there but the soup was a bit diluted. Still, the mee, kangkung and prawn was good. 🙂
Ah well. Am hoping to get to eat this the next time I’m in KL. Best one I’ve ever had was in Kepong. Can’t remember how to get there though.
Oh well.

Whoever said Kuching was boring was dead wrong. :p
Did I also mention that it’s free? 🙂
: : Mango Umai : :
Bekah made some umai during the weekend with her Dad. It was great! We had it for lunch along with other food we ordered at chilli peppers.
She used a type of fish called empiriang. I don’t know the English translation but BJ will check it out for me with her Dad.
As she couldn’t find any assam over the weekend, she added in some mangos instead. Boy, was it good!
: : Granny’s Cooking ~ Fried Rice : :
Another step-by-step cooking posting of Granny’s cooking. Did not managed to get all the steps in photos as the telephone rang at that time and she had already started cooking by then.
Some of the ingredients used : chopped long beans, shallots, rice. Not shown in the picture is the pieces of chicken and fish cakes she added in as well.
She also decided to try the Nasi Kampung Goreng (Village Fried Rice) mix by Ajinomoto. Yes, it’s very cheap here and there are also other brands in the market for such mix : Adabi (which started it all), Maggi, Knorr, etc.
First, the onions are fried in onion until fragrant. Then she put in the long beans, chicken and fish cakes and fried them until they were soft. Add in the Fried Rice mix with some water.
Add in the rice (she put in more rice than what is shown in the picture) as well as some soy sauce and pepper. Mix everything together until the rice is of an even brown colour.
Easy to do and you can make your variations by using different ingredients.

Gosh, I’m so sorry. Totally mixed up the garlic oil and the onion oil. Use ONION OIL for Kolo Mee.
Then again, lemme know if the garlic oil works. hee hee…
Here is a video of Granny making the garlic oil. Note that it’s a hefty 32 MB as I pasted all the clips together.
: : Life Cafe : :
It’s been 4 days since my last posting. Busy busy busy. For those who were waiting to be tempted, guess you were all disappointed eh? :p
Yesterday, went to dinner at Life Cafe with some friends from KL. One of them saw this interesting soup in the menu so decided to try it :
CROCODILE MEAT WITH GINSENG!!!
Anyway, the soup was very very heatty. Strong ginseng taste as well. Not too sure what was the crocodile meat. Looks kinda like kampung chicken but I was the chicken that night. Didn’t want to eat the thing. My friend ate it and said he was no longer feeling cold! (It was raining and the nite was pretty chilly).
Pictures aren’t that great I know. Ah well. This is a no-frills site, remember? :p
