Homemade Spring Roll

Hah, this is one spring roll that you cannot buy from anywhere because it is homemade and not for sale. Just want to share with you guys. Also, one of my childhood fave food, it is made by one of my aunts from Teluk Intan. Made from minced pork and prawns with cubes of carrots and water chestnuts rolled up with "chue mong yau" (sorry...don't know how to translate this) and deep fried, it is one of the must have food during Chinese New Year for us. Yum, yum. Ho chiak. Hou sik.

Food For Thought (41)

Is this why we are told to count to 10 before we open our mouth whenever someone makes us angry? So that we wouldn't say something we may regret?

Garden Restaurant, Ipoh

The day being grandma's birthday, the whole lot of us decided to celebrate at Garden Restaurant, Jalan Hussein, Ipoh. We settled for one of their set menus. The sour and spicy fish is.....erm.....let's just put it this way........the sauce is good but not the fish, which was tasteless. Can't even tell it's fish, if you get what I mean. The ginger fried chicken is good though. Tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. Marmite pork ribs is not bad. The meat is tender while the sauce is yum, yum. Fried prawns in soya sauce........again, the sauce, even though a bit on the oily side, is good but the prawns are not that fresh. Four combination vegetables (lady's fingers, petai, long beans and eggplant) is good. Very "belacany". The steamed egg with minced meat is smooth. Tasty. Vegetables in beancurd sauce is not that outstanding. Soup for the day is lotus root soup. Tasty and clear. Good till the last drop.
