Kuching Festival 2022

Posted on By sweet surrender 1 Comment on Kuching Festival 2022

Have you visited Kuching Festival at MBKS? After not having it for two years, it’s back this year. More stalls and more food. It started on 29 July 2022 and will end on 21 August 2022. I’ve been there 4 times. How about you?

Here’s the compilation of my visit. I foresee that I will be going there again for few more times because it’s pretty near to my place. I have everything updated on my Instagram. It is much more updated there than in this blog ;p

So far, what’s the best food had you tried? To me, I feel that the food from Pinoy’s stalls is quite OK. Quality is better compared to many other stalls. So far, most are so-so. Edible but don’t expect it to be super delicious. Plenty of “landmines” as well. You’ll just have to try them for yourself to know what’s good and what’s not. It’s pretty much based on personal preferences too.

The food there is not cheap. However, just buying what you can eat will do. We could easily fill our tummy for less than RM50. Plenty of food below RM10 that can be filling. If you are there to try all the fancy food and eat more than you can handle, then that’s another story.

It’s already packed as early as 4.30pm during the weekend. As for weekdays, the crowd fills up the place by 5pm. So do go early if you want to avoid the crowd and for nearer parking.

Unbox & Cook Ichiran Ramen Hakata Style Thin Noodle (One of The Most Expensive Instant Ramen)

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Unbox & Cook Ichiran Ramen Hakata Style Thin Noodle (One of The Most Expensive Instant Ramen)

Finally, got hold of one of the most expensive ramen, Ichiran Ramen. I saw this in Japan and even in local supermarkets in Malaysia but just couldn’t get myself to spend that money. It costs over RM100/box. I only bought two packets of the curly version when I was in Osaka in 2019. Then, my bro came back with a box when he came back from Singapore. It was not cheap not too. After conversion to MYR, it’s around RM120.

I always wonder what the inside of the box looks like. Now I know… Hahaha… Check out the video to find out. If you ever wonder how to open the box like me, then check out the video too. I didn’t know how to open it. It’s such rocket science. How silly am I?!? It’s so easy! I didn’t know what I was thinking. Why didn’t I think of that?!?

I tried looking for instructions on how to cook it online even though it’s available at the back of the packet and on its official website. In the end, I settled with the instructions on the official site. I did not follow the exact steps recommended on the packet and website too. I made a bit of modification to the step that is to switch the heat to the lowest while adding the soup (this was mentioned in Donki’s listing on Shopee on how to cook it). The original instructions should be to switch off the fire, then pour the soup into the pot. Whichever way, I tried both, it was OK. Still tasted good.

However, I was told that cooking the noodle based on the instructions is not the right way.

Here’s the method my friend taught me:
  1. Soak the soup packet in hot water.
  2. Boil 450ml water in a pot.
  3. Cook the ramen for the duration as suggested on the packet.
  4. Separate the ramen and water. DO NOT pour the water away. Keep it!! Put the noodle in a bowl.
  5. Open the soup packet and mix the soup with the ramen.
  6. Pour the boiled water that you cooked the ramen with into the bowl of ramen.
  7. Add the red seasoning powder to the spiciness level of your liking. If you can’t tolerate spiciness, you can skip it.
  8. Ready to eat.

The soup is flavourful and salty. The water needed is 450ml but using 500ml is also fine. I’ve never tasted the real thing from the official shop so I can’t do any comparison. However, the ramen tastes much better than in some local ramen shops.

The red seasoning powder is spicy. You can add accordingly or just skip it altogether. For me, half a packet gives me just enough heat. One whole packet is spicy enough but I can still take it. I prefer to have the red seasoning to elevate the taste. I will feel that something is missing without it.

Whether it’s worth it or not to spend so much on instant ramen, I don’t know… I definitely won’t spend such an amount of money on it even though it tastes good. If I would, then I would have purchased it when I was in Japan. It’s really up to you.

By the way, this is non-halal as alcohol and pork/lard are part of the ingredients of the ramen.

Have you tried the real thing? Have you tried the instant version?

Unbox KitKat Peach & Strawberry Milk | Origami Tutorial – Peach & Heart

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Unbox KitKat Peach & Strawberry Milk | Origami Tutorial – Peach & Heart

When it comes to KitKat, we all know it has many flavours and themes that are available in Japan. Got hold of two packets of Kitkat which have origami instructions on the back of the packets. Bought two flavours from Donki in Singapore. One is peach, one is strawberry milk. I didn’t go to Singapore for it haha… I asked my brother to help me to get it. Here you go… I unboxed and did the origami.

I’m not very good at doing such things. Even with diagram instructions, it took me quite a while to figure it out. It took longer than expected hahaha… I even tried to translate the instructions with Google Lens. Guess what?!? It’s hopeless! Only showed me the word “tangent”. Funny!

I know how hard it is for some people like me to make them. I hope these videos can help you with making it.

How to Make Roti Kok?

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on How to Make Roti Kok?

I never thought that roti kok is so easy to make at home. After watching it on TV, I tried making it. It is indeed easy. All you need are bread, butter, and sugar. Then bake it in the oven (170 degree Celsius, 15-17 minutes, no flipping needed) or air fryer (160 degree Celsius, 13-15 minutes, flip it mid-cycle). As simple as that.

Once done, leave it to cool then store in an airtight container. Have fun trying!

How to Air Fry Chai Gor (Vegetarian Goose 斋鹅)?

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on How to Air Fry Chai Gor (Vegetarian Goose 斋鹅)?

Ok… Finally, I’m back. It was such a busy month and when I finally have time to update, the blog was down. It’s fixed today (finger crossed). It was all SSL problem. I hope there won’t be any other problem again.

Ever heard of or eaten “Chai Gor” aka Vegetarian Goose aka 斋鹅 ? This is my favourite vegetarian meat. Usually, it’s pan-fried but I decided to try to air fry it. WOW! Didn’t expect it to puff up with such a crunch. Definitely need to give this a try, less oil is needed. Try it out. Quite nice to eat especially with porridge or just eat it on its own.
