av98m SG I dun usually eat bak kua straight on its own because the taste is a bit strong/salty for my liking...makes me want to chug litres of water. So usually in porridge, bread, or even instant noodles
elindra SG That one can cook at home ma I cook dried oyster or dried scallop porridge occassionaly at home
bluejuice SG last time when i go NZ... at that time, chinese food isn't as easily bought in shops. Unlike australia now, can get a lot of things...
Rhonda SG I love love love the Bak Gwa coins. Think I'll arrive in Singapore early in the morning. I'll take a cab home, follow my parents for breakfast, then when they drive off to work, I'll go to Holland V and recce my old haunt and buy Singapore mags and eat a 2nd breakfast. Sssshhh... don't tell my parents! And then, I'll go to the Bak Gwa shop and buy 1/2kg of Bak Gwa coins and hide from my parents because they'll nag at me not to eat so much!
elindra SG I can do that at home The Gulper is so cute I wanna squeeze it but I won't Because it has spines that can sting me and that will hurt like hell
jetta SG I love the gold coins too! Soo tender... hmm.... Which Sg mags are you getting? Don't forget to whack some nasi lemak hor?
Rhonda SG Can can!! I must remember not to say "Whooooaaaaaaahhhh!!!" because the last time I returned home, mom said I sounded like some country bumpkin, everywhere we went, I was soooo happy I kept saying, "Waaaah!!" She said, "Like never eat before like that!" "Yah mah!! More than a year never eat wor!" But really quite embarrassing because I kept having to explain to the storeholders / cashiers that I had just returned from overseas because they look at me real funny.
elindra SG I like to buy Food & Travel and Asian Geographic (besides National Geographic) I think I'm very 'un-Chinese' in the sense that I dun like to eat bak gwa and lap cheong and eewww to Taiwanese sausage
Rhonda SG My 2nd breakfast shall be either Nasi Lemak or the Bee Hoon with tons of assorted stuff from that famous Holland V nasi lemak stall. And... "Auntie, give me lots of sambal chilli, ok?" Usually praise them by saying, "I think of your nasi lemak a lot when I'm overseas! Come back only, first thing is come to your shop!" and then I'll get one HUUUGE dollop of sambal chilli!!
zoragirl SG You can take the laksa and nasi lemak there... if u have a chance, go ghim moh market... most of the food there quite nice...
Rhonda SG Not just that... I think if you squeeze it, you'll end up with a handfull of very tender (and also extremely expensive) fishballs!!! The more you squeeze, the softer the fishballs!
jetta SG I can't stand lap cheong either. Or any kind of Chinese lap cheong I love love love pineapple tarts and kueh kapek. Two of my most absolute faves. Oh and kueh rose too. Hmm....
zoragirl SG You can take the laksa and nasi lemak in Holland V... if u have a chance, go ghim moh market... most of the food there quite nice...
fudgester SG With all this talk of nasi lemak.... .... I suddenly feel like going to Fong Seng later.
viciouskitty74 SG Jetta, I've searched thru some postings and even tried to check on my sister's blogspot. but i cant find that singapore style bak kwa website and i cant remember its name. will have to email my sister and asked her for the contact again.
Rhonda SG Quick bak kwa recipe : Slice at least two pieces of bak kwa into strips. Heat oil in wok. Throw in minced garlic and sliced onions to fry. Throw in bak kwa to stir fry quickly. Throw in a handful of vegetables like kai lan or chai sim. Toss. Remove and serve hot with rice. Niiiiiice!!
