Wanda SG I've check and there seems to be no existing thread on this, so here goes. What is the local/pasar name for: - porkchop - tenderloin (i.e. what to tell the pork seller at the wet market?) - basil leaf (I think Taiwanese call it Jiu3 Chern2 Ta3) Thanks.
SaintDL SG You really think net surfing people like s knows the answer to your question? Lol. Well if you don't have any luck online you can go down to the western store in your neighbourhood kopi tiam and order a pork chop. And if the business isn't too good(no super long queues) you can ask them.
augleo SG kuo luo yok (sweet n sour pork) o kueh (yam cake) o ni (yam paste) am i on the right track?
Wanda SG Oh, you'll be surprised...some of the food connoisseurs here can cook pretty well, so I figured they might know with their powderful Hokkien/dialects! Anyway, just trying my luck!
Wanda SG That depends on which track you're talking about. I din ask for cooked pork and yam cake, did I??
MooKu SG ...why not? net surfing people aren't all nerds who sit in front of the computer all day and don't cook you know
snop_coolz SG porkchop from market = u must process it urself…u tell the person u wan porkchop lor..porkchop the engalish not so chiminology bah…
Wanda SG If it's bah pah, then it will be the bah tao, but bah tao got no bones, unlike those pork chop from western joints. Li Ji rou - neber heard of leh. I also dunno.
Wanda SG Well, I had a chance to ask the pork meat grocer over the weekend: Me: Pork chop is which part of the meat? She: Oh, it depends, several parts of of the pork can be pork chop. Me: ........ Erm....oh, er...ok. Still as confused.
