Field Report: Asam Pedas Tanjung

In tandem with my promotion of Choco and SoulPop's Asam Pedas Tanjung, I went over to TTDI to get some of what they have to offer.

With them was Dona and Norman.

:)


Asam Pedas Kuih Muih Fraternity

Choco wasn't around as he was sent all over to get more loose change. No help with people like me that whip out RM50 to buy something priced at RM5. Sorry guys!

I swung by to get the *goods* and double parked (it's unlike me, really) and made a dash to the stall.


Look out for this sign this weekend!

This is my first time seeing Dona and she does look as sweet as she does in her blog. As for Norman, hey, the kuih looked great man!

I bought two servings of the Asam Pedas, each with a piece of mackerel (tenggiri la tuh!) and 2 pieces of lady's fingers. Paid the due and made a mad dash back to the car as i do not want to disturb them doing their business.


Wanna go swimming?


Anyway, here is how it looked like at home.


I was salivating...picture didnt' do justice...

Cooked some rice and fried some eggs and baked beans for dinner that night.

Was tempted to heat up some roti prata and chappati to eat with it, but decided that the Asam Pedas will taste best eaten with rice.

As the dish was heating up in the mircowave, which my granma fondly call the *ting ting* machine (microwave make Ting ting sound when done what, she can't say microwave and i do not know what it is in Hokkien), the scent of the curry filled the kitchen. My tummy was grumbling and threaten a 6.0 Ricther scale earthquake shalt i not cook and serve dinner faster.


I placed it on the table, dished out the rice, called for wifey to eat dinner and we sat down, eyes looking lovingly to the asam pedas (we shalt leave the "looking into each other's eyes for anohter day ok?) and all hell broke lose.

Well, almost, thank god we were concious of our own barbaric act, we fondled the fish and the curry with a very much civilised manner.

The Asam pedas was good, needless to say. Nothing beats homecooked food, eventhough it's tarpow-ed (can consider as homecooked la, friend cooked it what!).

The curry was just nice where the spiciness was concerned. It wasn't too sour and wasn't too spicy and goes down well with our palate. It wasn't too oily too, which is a plus point for people that cam whore like me (got to look good, right?).

We finished the dish before the rice finishes, gladly scooping up the curry and drank it like some soup!

Luckily i cooked the baked bean and eggs, or else, i would be taking out the Kicap Cap Kipas and eat the remaining rice like some poor man!


Burp!!!

ps- got one more serving, kept it for tonight to tantilise my mum!
