There’s always up and there’s always down. I want to balance by pathetic last few weeks with a bit of a pick-me-up.
One of my comfort snacks that I love is “chien tni kueh”. It’s a layer of this sticky glutinous steamed cake sandwiched between a slice of yam and a slice sweet potato (and outside of America, specifically, southern America, sweet patatoes and yams are two separate things. One is typically orange in color, the other white with a touch of light purple)… are you still with me? Well, the best part is here, the cake, yam, and sweet potato slices are then battered and deep fried. Click on the image above to see more of the process.
Mom bought me two pieces. I forgot how GOOD they were. Crunchy, slightly salty, sweet, gooey, starchy, heavenly, put on 2 pounds, and definitely worth it!
Oh ya i am with u. I never bother to eat them even though u see them eveywhere in penang. Now i will do anything to get a bite of them.
Its like, crunchy when u 1st bite into it and then there comes the yam or sweet potato which is soft and warm, then u get into the ti kueh, sticky and guey….
Thanz for the picture~~!!!
The Pisang goreng is out of this world. My mum use to say that the best bananas are those small but utterly rich ones called “pisang monyet” i.e. monkey bananas. Yummm I feel so bloody hungry now.
I use to sneak out to buy some from the local chinese store which is a big no-no for a muslim boy!! It was only babanas….
Any pictures of fried oysters + eggs….Oh I like those too…you can almost see me droooling John.
Apa nak buat – merantaukan so have to live with what we get!!!
