Chap Goh Meh Feast

Chap Goh Meh is the 15th day in the lunar calender, signifying the last day of the Chinese New Year celebration. On this particular day, many Chinese families would enjoy and feast as in CNY eve. My family is not an exception and we eventually had a greater dinner than what we had back then. Our initial plan was to have a total of 6 dishes. In the end, we had a total of 9 dishes. Well~~ I played my part in serving 2 dishes for the dinner.

Yam Rice. I was fascinated by the famous Yam Rice back in Penang and so, I looked up for the recipe in the net and tried it out. Besides from yam, I added dried shrimps and mushrooms for better taste. Pandan leaves were used along to give the rice the sweet fragrant smell. Smelling great, but taste just ok. Would be if the dried shrimps were diced and the yam was mashed. 

Mashed Potatoes. As requested by mum, I prepared this western side dish to be served along with all those Chinese food. LOL! I also made Mushroom Sauce to accompany with this dish.

Beef Ribs Stew Soup. Highly complimented dish! Stewed for really long hours...

Assam Fish. YUMMY!!! I could finish the whole fish if I want to!

Oven-baked Chicken. Tasted just like Kenny Roger's! :P I'm not boasting. Even the breast meat was so juicy.

Broccoli with Abalone Slices. Good!

Mixed Vege

Sweet and Spicy Pork Leg. Recipe passed down from my grandma.

No chance to be on diet during CNY~~~

Famous Fook Hai (Hock Hai) Big Pau

Located at Padungan, Fook Hai (Hock Hai) is an old-time popular place for Big Pau and dim sum. The Big Pau served can be stuffed with chicken or pork meat. Unfortunately, the pork-filled big pau has finished when we got there. 

Big Pau (RM3.00). Not very big actually. I prefer the one at Sin Kwang, which is somewhere nearby. Much much bigger~ and also the filling tastes better although Sin Kwang only serves chicken-filled big paus. A standout of Fook Hai's Big Pau is the sweet fluffy skin, whereas the one at Sin Kwang is rather chewy. It all depends on which you like better.

Apart from having the Big Pau, they have a few types of dim sum like sio bee,  lo mai kai (glutinous rice chicken), siew mai and har kau. Despite the limited choices, they still have their breakfast crowds. 

Lo Mai Kai (糯米鸡) (RM2.80).

Steamed sticky glutinous rice stuffed with chicken chunks and mushroom.

Har Kau (RM2.40/plate).

Minced prawn instead of the whole prawn which we usually get elsewhere.

Late dinner @ 3rd Mile Market

Again, I'm here at 3rd Mile Night Market. Having something different this time. As I was really hungry, I ordered Goh Bee Teng (五味汤) for dessert which I normally would not. 

Goh Bee Teng (五味汤) (~RM2.00) is a sweet shaved ice dessert having 5 different ingredients. The one served from the stall I ordered from, which is on the right when you walked up the stairs, had ingredients like barley, agar-agar,  sea bird-nest/seaweed jelly, dried persimmon, white fungus, sago pearls and gingko nuts. It's actually more than 5 ingredients.

We ordered a Silver Needle Noodle (老鼠粉) with Wanton and also a Kolo Kueh Teow from the famous No.8 stall. 

Silver Needle Noodle (老鼠粉) with Wanton (RM4.00). Just RM1.00  for the additional Wanton added. So cheap! And most important of all, it tasted real good. 

Kolo Kueh Teow (RM3.00). Tasted as good as the well. Same broth actually. Just that flat noodles were used in this dish.

As usual, Kueh Chap (RM4.00) is something we usually won't miss when we have dinner here. The portion seemed to have reduced.

Auntie Angela's Sarawak Laksa

There are lots of nice Sarawak Laksa in Kuching. Here I am at Cold Storage Food Court to try out Auntie Angela's Sarawak Laksa. This is a new Laksa outlet to me. Won't be here if I did not get good feedback on this Laksa store from many of my friends. Some even claimed that it's better than the famous Laksa at the nearby Sin Chong Choon Cafe.

Normal Sarawak Laksa (RM 5.00). Comes with the usual ingredients of prawns, chicken slices, egg pieces and beansprouts. At first, the Laksa smelled like curry. However, from the first bite, there's not even a bit of curry taste. Amazing huh~ 

Overall, I think it's quite good. Worth trying. :)

ღ Date wif Mommy ღ

It's been a long time I did not go out alone with my mum. She proposed to have Japanese meal at Sushi King and so, off we went. :D

As usual, SALMON!!!

Salmon Sashimi (RM12.90). All for me! :-bd So fresh and thick. Not enough~~

Prosperity Bento (RM16.88). Only available during this Chinese New Year Promotion. Served with Yee Sang, Grilled Salmon and Chicken Teriyaki. I took the fresh salmon.. :D

Chawan Mushi (RM4.00). Fell in love with Chawan Mushi ever since I tried the one at Riverside Majestic Hotel Japanese Buffet. Unfortunately, the one here was not up to my expectation.
