Afternoon Snack
lovely to be enjoyed on a rainy day.
Hot, hot pisang goreng (fried bananas) and fried keropok lekor (fish sausage?). I love dipping my pisang goreng in the keropok lekor chilli sauce. Sweet, sour and spicy. When I was small, I ate cekodok pisang (fried mash banana balls?) with tomato sauce. Well, I ate rice mixed with margarine and soy sauce too. Zaini told me, I eat weird. You think? ^^
and with that afternoon snack, a cup of "kaw" coffee. At home I only drink one particular brand of coffee and nothing else. It's Kopi Cap Kapal Api. Three big spoons of coffee and its heaven. Great for my bowel movement too! ^^
Now that I mention about afternoon snack, I still have some untouched "nian gao" waiting to be cooked/served. Hubby doesn't care much about them and it isn't fun eating them alone. :(
Oh! I think I should try making fried mash banana balls. We do fry banana quite often even though I don't really eat them :)) I prefer banana in drinks and cookies.
ReplyDeleteFor me, banana is best consume as is. :)
DeleteI eat them every morning. Must eat them for energy before my runs too! ^^
i will eat and drink more banana then! :D
Deleteawww, all those for afternoon tea, for yourself only?? wow, very fattening!! and somemore on a rainy day that you are not running?? TAMBAH 2000kCal!!! :D
ReplyDeleteNo lah! Share three people. Crazy ar want to eat so much. Later have to run 20k to burn it all back! LOL
Deletebut i prefer the keropok lekor nipis, cos it's more crunchy, especially nice if dip in deeeeeep into the chili sauce, heaven!! haha~~
ReplyDeleteHey, I like the thin type too.... can easily take up to 10pcs with 3/4 full stomach and 20pcs with empty stomach (feeling like a hungry ghost)!!
DeleteI like both thin and thick. But now old already, teeth don't like hard food! LOL
Deletebut then eating pisang goreng and cekodok pisang goreng (and thanks for the vocab for the day again, i just call it bola pisang!! hahaha~~) with chili sauce?? not only your hubby, but i think you are weird also :D
ReplyDeleteNo no no... eat cekodok pisang with tomato sauce nor chilli sauce.
DeleteEat pisang goreng with chilli sauce. I'm very particular about my food. kikiki
I like goreng pisang with ikan bilis sambal. Yum!
DeleteI gotta try that! :)
Deleteso you love all the taste messed up?? have you tried dipping french fries with ice cream?? haha, that's panda's favourite..
ReplyDeletePanda likes that? Gotta try and see how I like it. ;p
DeleteTrue. That's a nice combo. Even fries in bread make a delectable sandwich. Try it.
DeleteHa!
DeleteI always put fries in my burgers! ;p
wow, cap kapal api?? haha, that's very particular and i've not even heard about this brand before.. since you eat weird, haven't you tried coffee with salt instead of sugar?? or even replace your milk with chili sauce?? LMAO~~
ReplyDeleteI'm not that weird OK! LOL
DeleteBut I do drink salt. I take ORS before my Sunday runs. Does that count as salty drinks? ;p
and I don't take milk - gastric. xD
Butter in hot coffee is aromatic.
DeleteTrue.:)
DeleteIt gives a rich taste too. ^^
I am happy at least I know someone out there shares my same same taste,,you know I am like you,I must take my "kuih mui" with a cup of hot hot "kopi O', you know this is so heavenly....sometimes life's greatest enjoyment,is just to taste a little of this and that
ReplyDeleteTo be able to appreciate and enjoy simple pleasure. Now, that's good life for me. ^^
DeleteI don't find you're weird taking cekodok pisang with tomato... I'm biased here, as I'm a huge tomato sauce fan!
ReplyDeleteSee SK? Yvonne doesn't think I'm weird. ;p
DeleteBut then, you're the first person I know having plain rice with margarine and soy sauce :s Yeah, that's kinda weird.....
ReplyDeleteI ate that when I was small onlylah. My grandad would give it to his grandchildren. It's rather nice. Have to eat with piping hot rice and it's a combo of "lemak" taste with the saltiness of soy sauce. I haven't had that in ages.
DeleteLove Kopi-O but more sugar, please. Dislike pahit-pahit one..
ReplyDeleteI like both. But depend on my mood. ;p
DeleteI would love the banana fritters..
ReplyDeleteNo keropok lekor for you? :)
DeleteFry the nian gou. Yummy! sorry to say I didnt taste any nian gou this year. ;p Been not feeling well since early of the year.
ReplyDeleteWas going to fry them with yam, but no fun to eat alone. And no fun to fry just a few pieces. xD
DeleteHope you are all better now? Take care!
Rice, margarine and soy sauce? +_+
ReplyDeleteI Googled "nian gao". Did you know I'd do that? ^^ That sounds nice. (Does it include dates?)
I grin every time you write about pisang. I keep wanting to tell you that you can't spell. It should be piesang. That's how we spell it. :D
Well, I eat weird. ;p
DeleteI should totally pepper my future blog posts with nice sounding yet unfamiliar to foreigners words here, just to entice you to look them up. *evil laugh*
The way I eat nian gao (it may be wrong...) is either steam it and cover it with shredded coconuts or fry it sandwiched between two pieces of yam (think of those fried "piesang" but with a mochi(?) in the middle. ;p
How do you pronounce "piesang"? As in pie?
We pronounce i exactly as a Japanese person would pronounce it. So, unless I'm mistaken, it's the same sound as in your name?
DeleteI think pisang and piesang sound the same in Malay and Afrikaans.
Yam and coconut. Now you've made me miss Africa. Sigh.
Never mind. You are going back soon! I don't suppose you'll start missing Japan while you are back in SA?
DeleteI seldom take anything during tea time. But I MUST have my coffee or I'll be in a foul mood all evening ... LOL!
ReplyDeleteBetter make sure you have your evening coffee then! xD
DeleteOh keropok lekor lor...miss it very much.
ReplyDeleteHi Angeline!
DeleteWell, maybe now's the time to enjoy them again? :)
