After reading from so many food blogger about them eating the best Bak Kut Teh in KL and Singapore, I am of course in awe .. and envious lah..!! so i made my own tonite.. afterall, being so far away from home.. with no food court of hawker centers.. just doesn’t give you alot of choice eh. Luckily I can still buy those packet type of ready made herbs for Bak Kut Teh from the city .. and i buy lots and store them. And in the Bak Kut Teh i have mushrooms, lean pork, cloves of garlic, wolfberries … and whatever i have at the moment.. into a slow cooker.. and cooked it for 4 hrs at least. Easy peasy..!

I haven’t had duck for a good 7 yrs now. I am not one who was very fond of duck .. when i was living in Asia, but of course now it is different. Mr Choo from the chinese restaurant made these for me. It was very good.. but a wee bit too saltish for my liking.. but beggars can’t be choosers.. and i think i just might order half a duck from him real soon.. and share them with my in-laws.

First time cooking it. So country pumpkin right..?? what to do.. when you can get it real cheap back home.. in Asia. Anyways.. i made this with sago.. and some pandan essence.. since i didn’t have any pandan leaves.. and no where to be found. Thanks to Greenapple.. for sending me some Pandan essence all the way from the States. But i should have only added a drop or two.. coz’ it was very strong. So no pandan leaves never mind.. add pandan essence. It turned out pretty good.. and i really liked it.

Found this at the local grocery store.. and not the city’s asian grocery store.. so i was kinda surprised.. and bought it to try of course. At $1.99 for 2 pieces of tofu.. i know all of you from Asia.. must be thinking i am crazy. But chinese food like that are ex here.. if you must know.. wherelse tofu.. back home is at $0.20 a piece. The organic tofu.. didn’t taste as good as the regular ones.. but maybe..it’s just because it is organic… and i’m not used to it. And being szechuan.. i would have hope that it would be spicy.. but it wasn’t really. And the spicy sauce they had on.. didn’t give me the oomp feeling.. so i guess i wouldn’t be buying it again. They also had the ones with teriyaki sauce.. but i’ve yet to try it.. even though i bought them.

While once upon a time.. i would never think of eating luncheon meat at all… i know craved for them.. and will eat just about any kinda luncheon meat by Ma Ling.. and in anything. Yes.. when i was young .. my mother said.. never to eat luncheon meat.. because it’s garbage.. therefore i rarely touched them. But now.. “GIVE ME ALL THE LUNCHEON MEAT YOU HAVE..!!!” you do get the hint right..?

Finally i managed to cook my red bean dessert with sago. I very the blur..!!! Never cooked sago before in my life.. and didn’t wanna mess up.. because as you all know. .ingredients are hard to come by. I asked Barb.. if she knew.. but looks like she never cooked sago before either. So easy yet so hard.. because if you donch stir it constantly.. it would stick together.. and become clumpy. Well.. nothing major.. just abit clumpy.. but overall.. the red bean sago with white nut turned out really well.

I would never eat dodol when i was back home. Why eat imitation .. when you can get the real thing right..?? Well.. the times are different now.. ! the chinese have a saying.. “ma sei lok dei hang” .. meaning.. if the horse died .. you’ve to come down from the house.. and walk. Same meaning here right now.. eat the next best thing that comes along. Something so simple..and abundant in Asia.. is a gem to me. I’ve already eaten at least 3 of them so far.

I cooked this with a slow cooker.. and it was pretty easy .. i’ll have to say. All i did was .. put in some lean pork… 5 handfuls of rice.. and water filled up to 3 quarter full of the slow cooker .. add in some sesame oil.. and salt to taste.. and let it boil for 4 hrs. When ready to eat them.. all you need to do is to cut the century eggs and put them in the congee. . and sprinkle some spring onions.. and it’s ready. Yummy..!! thanks again to Barb and Sasha.. for teaching me.

Doesn’t this looked like your steamboat. Yes.. when you donch have any good szechuan or hotpot place you have to do it yourself.. if you wanna eat anything. So armed with newly bought fresh inoki mushrooms .. and some beef balls.. i added some spicy tom yum paste, plus some beehoon, this was my dinner.

It was such a ripped off.. eating here. We arrived at 8.15pm.. even though they had said.. that they have their buffet table opened to 9.30pm.. in their advertisement. Boasting of 100 over dishes to choose from and sushi for weekend dinners. Alas, the food was none to be found… and sushi was pathetic.. !! the roasted meat was horrid.. and the charges were exorbitant. At $15.95 for an adult.. during the weekends.. which they didn’t state clearly at all, because they said their prices starts from $9.99 and for a child .. at $5.75. For almost $40 canadian dollars.. we hardly ate anything. The food was absolutely horrid.. and no .. there weren’t no 100 dishes. It was the worst food I’ve eaten since coming to Canada. We will not visit Dragon Buffet King ever again.
Hot and Sour Soup from the buffet table tasted horrid, there was no taste whatsoever to it. I took a spoonful .. and that was it folks.
