Durian outing...

Had an enjoyable durian outing with a few friends last Friday. Ate a few nice species such as Lin Fong Chia, 604, Ang Heh and a couple of others at a durian stall located on Jalan Paya Terubong on the way to Balik Pulau. Among all the species, I enjoyed LFC the most as the flesh was pretty thick and creamy with a tinge of bitterness in it. Great durian outing!

nasi dagang...

My first post for 2012 and it has to be about food...what else...hehe...
I first discovered nasi dagang (picture above) when I was working in Kelantan in the late 70's and early 80's. Really fell in love with it...as it was I something I had to have especially in the morning almost every day. The dish consists of glutinous rice served usually with chicken curry, salted fish, hard-boiled egg and dessicated coconut. It's yummylicious alright. You could easily find a stall selling nasi dagang almost anywhere in Kelantan. But back here in Penang, finding one is like looking for a needle in the haystack. Until I came across this cosy food outlet in Gurney Plaza. The Little Nyonya Cuisine which is located at the basement of the shopping complex serves wonderful nasi dagang which comes with delicious thick and just-spicy-enough chicken curry. It's just like walking down memory lane each time I savour the dish at that place.
If you haven't tasted nasi dagang before...why not check it out and see whether you like it or not?
Happy food tasting!
