I know there are many Char Koay Kak sellers in Penang but I always like this Char Koay Kak from this uncle. I've this Char Koay Kak since young. This uncle stall is located beside Desa Green flat at Jalan Van Pragh. Normally he opens his stall around 1.30pm. The Char Koay Kak comes in small, medium and large, from RM1.30 - RM2.00.

If you have the chance, try it :)

What's Potluck actually?

Recently, a few people asked me what does potluck really mean....I google and find the actual definition for it....

A potluck is a gathering of people where each person is expected to bring a dish of food to be shared among the group.

Folk etymology has derived the term "potluck" from the Native American custom of potlatch; the word "potluck", however, is actually of English origin

The original meaning was "food given away to guests", probably derived from "whatever food one is lucky enough to find in the pot", i.e. whatever food happens to be available, especially when offered to a guest.

Besides that, Elvis Presley also came up with an album in 1962, called Pot Luck :)

~Salmon Fever~

I cook papaya almond spare ribs soup & salmon fish cake for pot luck on 4/19 at my home. This was my 1st time making the fish cake. I followed the recipe from Women Weekly magazine (My favourite magazine... :-) and received good feedback on them (glad :D)..As you can see, on my dining table, there are also other delicious dishes....Tamago sushi by MayLing, Bihun & cai kuih by Andrew and salad by Deepak. It was great having potluck. (Note: If you need the soup & salmon fish cake recipe, let me know :-)


Salmon Omelette

I cook this salmon omelette the other day. My hubby said it looks good and tasty. It's pretty easy....Just cut the salmon fillet into small cubes, same go for the tomatoes and zuchinni. Beat up 2 eggs. Sprinkle some pepper (here I used coarsed black pepper) & soy sauce into the beaten eggs. Heat up your pan and put in some oil. Stir-fry the salmon & veges until the salmon fillet turn to light pink (Opt: You may add some garlic powder to give it more aroma). This should takes less than 2 mins. Then, pour in your beaten eggs into pan and it will cover and combine with the salmon & veges. Just let it on the pan for 5 mins until the egg is cooked. Once done, serve it.

Pan-fried Salmon fillet with Italian Herb - I cook this for my tea snack on Wednesday.....hehe....(actually just had a very light brunch) :D

Ta Krai Thai Food @ Auto-City Juru Penang

Recently, there is a new Thai restaurant located near the LOG and Fashion city of AutoCity Juru, Penang. I heard that it is owned by the LOG as well (but not confirm). Anyway, we went to try it out, turned out quite nice. It has a nice thai ambient. Most people will take the seats upstairs as the ambient is more pleasant, more tree-top milieu, minus the noise from kitchen and bar, part of it is fully covered air-conditioned dining place.

Food wise, overal is not bad, eg their specialty sausages, chicken dishes, lemongrass tea, etc. As for the northern thai tomyam, it was not to our expectation. Besides that, they have individual ala-carte meal as well like pad-thai, thai fried rice, etc. The price is quite reasonable.
