Hakka Kolo Mee - MFF Negri Sembilan Jan 2013

Hakka Mee -  My number 2 dish  that I  submit for the Malaysian food Fest -  Negri Sembilan Month.

Hakka Mee is another popular hawker fare in Seremban.  The Hakka Mee stalls that I patron regularly are the stall on top of the Seremban Wet Market, another one is a shop lot across the road opposite the yellow bus stop. 

I used to ' ta pau' (buy to pack)  back to Kuala Lumpur for next day's meal.  I will request the owner not to cook the mee.     When I took them out from the fridge the next day,  there are big pieces of lard appeared in the minced pork with gravy.  It is the lard , I further confirm that they are using lard to prepare this famous Seremban delights.  This is to say, it is the lard that  make the dish so yummy lo... 

Preparing Hakka Mee is not that difficult with very minimum ingredients only.  Its simple and easy the different is with lard or without lard, the choice is yours.  I am not into it lo, but once in while is no harm considering it does give the extra  ummphs to the dish.   ^_^

Yi Poh Lou Shu Fun - MFF - Negeri Sembilan

My 1st post for 2013 is about Malaysia food fest  being the Negeri Sembilan Food Fest for the month of January 2013.  
Taking this opportunity to with everyone a Prosperous and Happy New Year!  Stay Healthy, Wealthy and Happy all Year round~  

Spend my entire childhood in Seremban, my favorite food till now is the famous Yi Poh Lou Shu Fun now located in Temiang road, Seremban occupied  two shop lots.  Even I got married and move to Kuala Lumpur, and each time  'balik kumpung' (travel back to hometown)  will never miss this Seremban's specialties.

Sharing with you some childhood memories about this shop.   The present owner learnt the secret recipe from his grand aunty  ( that is his grand  mother's sister).  The grand aunty operated the store at a coffee  shop   located along Jalan Tun Dr. Ismail (old name is Jalan Templer) next to Caltex petrol station during 60s - 80s .    The Petrol station is still sitting at the same place, but the coffee shop had since been demolished.  And during that time, if you want to enjoy a bowl of this scrumtious hawker fare, you have to make sure u be there before 8.30am.  The food will be sold out latest by 9.00am during weekend.   Now with the new owner  operating  at Temiang area will start business early in the morning till late evening.  

Don't forget to add few dash of white pepper to enhance the Seremban Special Loh Shu Fun.

New England Clam Chowder

When I told my children that I am going to cook 'chowder' as their lunch.  Their expression are like '  Huh?  What is that?  Haha.... That is exactly like I 1st came across this hearty meal at a cooking demo at 1 Utama recently.  After the demo, I told myself , must prepare this chowder for my family.  
More details explanation on chowder at wikipedia.

What makes a chowder a chowder, and not just a soup? Chowders originally contained some seafood, but today the definition seems broader. A chowder can be any thick, rich soup with chunks of ingredients in it. Potatoes, onions, milk or cream, flour (as a roux to thicken) and clams are common ingredients, but not mandatory. Corn chowders are almost as popular as clam chowders.
Anyone can make a chowder, and unlike meat stews or chiles, chowders don't simmer for great lengths of time on the stove (although it does take time to make a fresh stock, or you can use bottled clam juice ). These thick, hearty soups are filling enough to serve in small mugs, accompanied by oyster crackers or crusty bread, a simple green salad.
So, by now, I hope you're cheering  for chowders. Below is a  super chowder-bowl recipes while you enjoy  your favorite TV shows.

Guangxi Steamed Chicken 广西白切鸡 - Malaysia Food Fest - Pahang

Guangxi Steamed Chicken

Recalling that I 1st tasted this Guangxi Steamed Chicken, not in Pahang, nor  in Guangxi, China, but in a food court in Sdyney during my recent trip in Australia.   ^_^   The texture of the chicken is soft and tender compliments with the condiments and the aroma of sesame oil, it was superb.  At that moment was telling myself my try out the recipe when I am back in Malaysia.  And  I'd summed up the condiments is the combination of  spring onion, ginger,  garlic/shallots and sesame oil. until I came across the dish prepared by  Wendy of Table for 2,  prepared the dish, then only realizied it is kuchai  (chinese chives) and not spring onion or is it spring onion!!??   Haha...    I am a bit blur to differentiate!  ^_^ 

 This  steamed chicken is to pair with the curry mee to become a set meal.   The set cost A$9.90

 The bowl of curry laksa with the tender chicken is  A$8.90.  With A$1/- extra one get the set meal of the above.

Anyway that is all for the meal in Australia.
