pinkpau

Hi Kris! What's in those cartons? Milk? And what's the small yellow box at the bottom? Very curious! Hide's so adorable! Will you be featuring your two lovely daughters too?

Blog on, torakris! I so love your blogs!

I guess the beauty of poh piah is that you can have anything you want inside! The basic filling is the stewed turnip mixture but other than that, let your imagination go well!

I've seen ikan ayam too in the market here. My colleague once told me it's lovely steamed. But I've never tried it...it looks too much like the trigger fish that chased me on my dive trips!

Hi spaghetttti! Hahaha...I couldn't stop laughing when I saw your "pinkpau"! It does look very yummy!

Hi Shiewie, I'm from Msia too and was planning a trip to Bali. Which hotels did you stay in? Sorry it's non-food related but just trying to do some research! And is food there cheap in RM terms? Thanks so much!

Kris, was just wondering....you ever thought of doing a proper food blog? I think the readers would love it!

Hi Kristin, Thanks for blogging! I always get so excited seeing your blog. I'm from Msia but I love anything Japanese! Your kids are adorable! Do they speak mainly Japanese or English? I'm trying to learn more Japanese cooking. The Chinese here use burdock too but mainly as a herb in soups. We use a lot of arrowroot as well, do the Japanese too? Thanks for sharing with us your life! Hope to see more of your posts!

I love senbei!! But I pay exorbitant prices for them here in KL, Malaysia! I love the hard senbei with sesame seeds, arare and all kinds! If only they weren't such a luxury...

Yeah, hope you feel better, Sphagetti...although whatever you're having sounds delicious! Is it soto ayam by any chance?

The Chinese do a fantastic braise of the trotters, either in vinegar or just with dark sauce and spices and slowly cooked....absolutely gorgeous!! The tendons soften and the meat's incredibly tender! The same is done for the cheek meat (beautifully soft), ears and nose....I know...the Chinese never let any part go to waste!!

Thanks for all your posts! It's amazing to see how diverse our breakfasts can be around the world! I just ate a popiah (spring roll) for breakfast and some mango. Here, in Malaysia, nasi lemak and kuih (local cakes) are a main staple....very bad for the waistline! But delicious nonetheless!

Hi, I've been a lurker for a while and this is my first post! I hail from sunny Malaysia and was just wondering....what do people eat for breakfast? Or is there a similar thread around somewhere already? I had a wholemeal steamed roll (called 'pau') filled with raisins and chinese wolfberries! Yummy!
