At the fifthteenth day in the first month of Chinese New Year marks the end of the New Year celebratory period. The day, which fell yesterday this year, is celebrated with a special dish in Java. It is rice cake soup with chicken curry, chayote squash curry, shrimp stew, braised egg, ground soybean, and prawn crackers.

I love foods from around the world! This is the first time we tried the new International Supermarket down the road from us.
Has anyone taken a fairly serious type photo and then when you see it on the computer see something quite different? - like this flower, I immediately saw Prawn Crackers, and a little face actually eating one!! Lololololol - Prawn Crackers in my part of the world when you have them with a Chinese take away are always round and white!! anyway it made me laugh so hope it does you too :))
My dear Vietnamese friends whom I invited to Zamboanga gave me these pasalubong (gifts):
1. rice papers- I really asked for them as they are not made elsewhere in Southeast Asia. They are moistened first before being filled with veggies or meat and then steamed or deep-fried. The BEST really!
2. prawn crackers- the Vietnamese ones have a peculiar test. Not really to my liking but better than what you can buy in the Philippines (sorry mga kababayan!) but still not as delicious as the Sidoarjo crackers in Indonesia.
3. soft sesame cake- It was my first time to try this and UNBELIEVABLY, I am now a convert. I need a new pack badly! The combination of the peanuts' brittleness, the white sesame's flavor, the roll-in-your-mouth elasticity and the sugar's rush are a divine combination. Immediately after taking the pic, I gobbled this one!

We used to call them Kropek after the brand name that first popularized these shrimp chips or prawn crackers. Instead of popcorn, we'd snack on these when watching movies. Well, once in a while, I'd buy a bag just to remind myself of the good ol' days.
In Penang. We had some of the best food in Penang!

This is one of my favorite Chinese snack. It is very popular in South East Asia and it has different names depending on region. It is known as krupuk or kerupuk in Indonesia; keropok in Malaysia; kropek in the Philippines; bánh phồng tôm in Vietnam and xiapian (蝦片 虾片 "prawn chips") in Chinese.
The ones seen in the photo was photographed at 東海酒家 East Ocean Restaurant in Wan Chai, Hong Kong. It is served as a light hors d’oeuvre before the meal and is infused with black pepper, which is very yummy.

Egg/rice noodles soup with Cambodian soup

Julia's Cambodian Noodles came with bits of pork heart and liver and a liberal drizzle of fried garlic oil. Of course, all the offal was passed to me! The Cambodian tapioca starch noodles were nice and chewy too.

Aprile’s black tea smoked and citrus-cured Arctic char was presented with bold Thai elements (mango ketchup, tamarind puree, cilantro and curry) then lightened up with pleasing light elements including cucumber ribbons, puffed prawn cracker and edible flowers.

I met Dan about 4 years ago, when he aded me on Skype and commented on my photos. And we chatted and chatted. About photos, cats, relationships, work... don't get me wrong, it was all stricly non-romantic talk :) 4 years of talking and then, I mean, today, I met him in person - for the first time. Dan was EXACTLY like I thought he would be face-to-face. It's great to put a face to the person, but what's even better, is to confirm the person's online presence is very true to their real character.
We went for Vietnamese, later Alex joined us and we (Alex & I) made another very nice friend. Life is good :)
GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN - Oh no! Belle is eating up the adorable vintage school chairs as if they were prawn crackers of vintage charm! Who will stop her? OM NOM NOM.

A rather homestyle dish of "wet" fried noodles, stir-fried with lots of garlic and a savoury eggy gravy with bits of chicken and vegetable, topped with a generous handful of prawn crackers for an added textural crunch.
Stir in some sambal oelek chilli sauce, and dig in!
A sqeeze of lime wouldn't go astray either.
This isn't quite the same as the Mee Rebus sauce we get in Malaysia though. That is flavoured with 豆酱 tauchu, fermented soy beans and chilli.

I had a couple of choices for my 365 today: dentist or Chinese New Year. The dentist actually asked about my 365, as he always likes to stay out of the way of the camera. I said I was taking pity on him this year, and not taking a photo there! So then I went hunting for a lovely red Chinese dragon, but couldn't really find one - apart from the poster in the window of "Noodle Nation", and wooden carved one in the covered market. So I went to the Co-op and bought some food to have at home. Mike enjoyed it too, once he'd realised what I was doing it for, and that he hadn't forgotten some anniversary!

Mum slept quite well. She had a severe episode of a tummy upset yesterday evening, but seems to have been perfectly fine since - although very tired and pale, but that's fairly normal for her! I got her up at 11am, and she got on pretty well, had lunch at 1.30pm and has been sleeping all afternoon. I had a bath, and watched the two Christmas episodes of The Wrong Mans. I enjoyed the first series, and this one was good too - a bit silly, but gripping, funny, and quite sweet.
OK - it's been a long week - and I know I shouldn't torment the dog - but cut me some slack eh? It's Friday!
( And anyway Alfie had his revenge by not staying still for the shot. You think this was the only take...?)
This recipe is so simple you would hardly believe it but it takes wings to a whole new level and gives them a delicious Chinese style flavour.
Ash had a massive craving for chinese duck so I thought I'd save some money on a take-out and do a DIY version from the supermarket.
The duck needed to be roasted but came with the pancakes and 'trimmings' whilst this was going on I made some egg fried rice which came out really good - I would defo make this again as a dinner on its own! We had it with some prawn crackers and even had enough duck to share some with Poppy - lucky girl and have leftover shredded duck wth the egg fried rice for lunch today. Yum!
