I've eaten some great food for the past 23 years of my life. I love to take pictures of them too. Great food moments are meant to be cherished. If you're a food lover like myself, this is the place for you. With every golden moment of my encounter with all types of food, I blog it. Just to ensure you are salivating too. As of now, I miss home food.
This is called the "Ais Kacang" - (translates. Iced syrup with beans).
Its one of those days when you wish you can have it when you're feeling the overwhelming heat of Summer or humid days back in Malaysia. Usually consumed in the afternoon or evening time. It is a famous dessert and an ideal thirst-quencher! Not to mention cheap as well!
This is called the "Rojak"
Rojak is a traditional fruit and vegetable salad dish commonly found in Malaysia. The term Rojak is Malay for mixture.
Fruit rojak consists typically of cucumber, pineapple, benkoang, bean sprouts, taupok (puffy, deep-fried tofu) and youtiao (cut-up Chinese-style fritters). Raw mangoes and green apples are less commonly used. The dressing is made up of water, belacan (shrimp paste), sugar, chili, and lime juice. Ingredients vary among vendors with some also using hae ko prawn/shrimp paste, tamarind or black bean paste in the mix. The ingredients are cut into bite-sized portions and tossed in a bowl with the dressing and topped with chopped peanuts and a dash of ground or finely chopped bunga kantan (pink ginger bud).
