OK people. Enough eating. Haha. Ya, ya.. I know it's festive season - enough of sweet red wine, lovely buttery 'Kek Lapis', sweet candies, scrumptious crunchy meat BBQ, crazy liquor etc etc - this entry comes to your laptop/pc screen as a reminder to do detox! Ya, kau dengar tak aku jerit detox??? Bahahaha!
We had these on last Wednesday, didn't we realize that we had zero meat/protein which is, good. *lame* OK. Look at this pic. Some boiled Okra or Lady Fingers and we also have brinjals or aubergine or eggplant. How many names does this veggie have in the world. *sigh.
Sambal belacan (terasi) or shrimp paste. My MIL made these but to tell the truth it wasn't to spicy for Miss Coki. Miss Coki prefers more chillies. *bomb* - This belacan was supposed to go with the boiled veggies.
Wait! You need something between sweet and little sourish to go with that belacan so we had Honey Mango! Sedap gila! There was one 'abang' came to our office and sold them for RM5 per kg. Isn't that super cheap? I bought 2kgs - one packet given to Mak.
Labu kuning. We did it purely like what we always have back in the longhouse. Do not, I repeat do not peel of the labu kuning skin. Just cube them and boil them with pounded ikan bilis (dried anchovies), shallots, garlic and a bit of Belacan. Boil until they tender. That's why this particular dish is healthy, we didn't fry the ingredients but boil all of them in one pot.
Buah dabai. Since it is still Dabai's season, this fruit is a staple food on most of dinner tables in Sarawak. Best eaten with salt or sweet soy sauce. Perggghhh! This Dabai thing is very easy to prepare. Just soak them in hot water for a few minutes till soft.
Damn.
I love food blogging. Haha.
With Love,
