Thanks to a friend that invited me to the food tasting session many many moons ago but I didn’t blog about it. We tasted the Szechuan cuisines prepared by none other than the friendly and energetic Szechuan ladies based in Kuching. By the way, I don’t know the dishes’ names, I asked that time but didn’t pen it down and now I cannot remember much, even the tastes too. One thing for sure, we feast! Nice!

Just to share the photos with you… If you know the names, do share with me 🙂

As you all know, Szechuan cuisines are known to be very spicy. However, they didn’t dare to make it too spicy as they’re afraid that we couldn’t stand the spiciness. It turned out that we told them that it’s not spicy enough! ;p Can add more chili hahaha…

Left: The Szechuan style cucumber pickles. It’s refreshing. Even though you see those chilies on top, if you are sane enough then don’t go eat the chilies, it’s meant to boost the flavour only unless you can stand eating the chilies only -.-” I definitely will not do that.

Right: There’s quite a number of chicken dishes, this is one of them.

Left: Braised chicken (or is it duck?) with tofu and eggs. It was too salty for our Malaysian tongue but according to them, that’s how they usually make this dish.

Right: Black fungus dish. Don’t remember much but I like the crunchiness of the black fungus.

Left: Szechuan dessert. I forgot the name. There’s egg, glutinous rice dumpling, and snow fungus in the sweet soup. The white thing peeking out from the soup is egg white. It can be served hot or cold.

Right: Lao Ya Tang(老鸭汤), we were a bit shocked when we heard the name. We thought it was “laoya tang” (literally translate, lousy soup in Hokkien). We were like did-I-hear-laoya and repeating the name to each other in disbelief until the niece of the ladies had to translate the word “Lao Ya” to English, it means old duck! It’s not lousy as we had thought earlier. *LOL* Was told that they really used old duck for this soup but they couldn’t find old duck here, so just use the common duck they found in the market.

*Burp*

There’s a Nyonya food stall at Food Bazaar, tHe Spring. I’m sure it’s no stranger to those that always go there. These photos were taken almost a year ago! Hehehe… This is just to share with you the types of Nyonya kuih that you can find in Malaysia in general.

Left: I love anything with peanuts! 😉 Kuih Koci (Peanut).

Right: Can someone help me with this? I can’t seem to remember what this is called yet it’s so common!

Left: Need help with this too…

Right: Either Pulut Inti or Pulut Sambal. Not so sure which one.

Left: Pulut Panggang.

Right: Chai Kuih / Crystal Kuih.

All right… A short post. Exam today and tomorrow.

There was an Oreo craze few weeks ago in class *LOL* It all started with this…

The Oreo container. So CUTE! We asked our friend where she got it, she said that she bought two packets of Oreo and this was the free gift.

Instantly, everyone asked her to help buy Oreo because we all wanted the container! I heard there’s quite a craze in one my friend’s kindy. A kid brought it to school, the teacher saw it and went to buy. Then the other teachers saw it, they also went to buy. So funny!

Really can’t help it. We’re sucker for cute stuffs hehehe…

I think this is one very successful promotional tactic! They nailed it I guess.

Hey! Hey! Hey! It’s been almost two weeks without any food post or other kind of post. I think some might think that I’m becoming a tech noob blogger *LOL* We’ll take a break from Maxis10: HTC HD7 post. Will be posting my final post about the HTC HD7 before 10th Dec. The more I use it, the more I don’t want to return it. How?

Anyway, went to Pizza Hut for dinner last weekend.

Ordered Extreme Cheesy Lava(RM34.40 for large or RM26.50 for regular) with Cheesy Hawaiian(add-on RM3 for large or RM2 for regular). I thought it will be quite yucky with 6 types of cheese as the topping. Good thing it’s not. I think it’s not so bad just a bit saltier than usual but it’s fine with me.

What are the type of cheese on the pizza?
Cheddar – classic delicate taste
Mozzarella – creamy and soft
Parmesan – flavourful and savory
Provolone – full-bodied, slightly tart
Monterey Jack – zesty and nutty
Romano – a hearty taste

Then, the crust, there’s 3 types of cheese in there!! Cheddar, Mozzarella, and Parmesan.

One more thing, if you have Maybankard or American Express, you get to enjoy 30% discount when you order the pizza à la carte (usually only applicable to newly introduced pizza). That’s a lot! We ordered a pitcher of soft drink and a large Extreme Cheesy Lava with Cheesy Hawaiian topping, it’s only RM30+ after discount! Save a lot!

Remember this post about Hot & Roll @ tHe Spring? Finally I got to try it.

There’s 3 type of wraps to choose, Crispy Wrap, Paratha Wrap, and Chapatti Wrap. Cheapest wrap is the Paratha Wrap.

Left: Chapatti Chicken Sausage(RM4.90), not quite satisfying, the texture was weird, crispy on the inside, soft in the inside. I don’t quite like it.

Right: Sweet Paratha Apple Cinnamon (RM3.90), it tasted almost similar to McD’s apple pie filling except it’s much sweeter. Not so bad though. Make sure to have it when it’s still hot.

Might try some other type next time.

By the way, it’s halal. Check our Hot&Roll website.
