Hokkien's taco! Hahah I love that. Looks good! Now my tummy is rumbling. *kulu kulu*...
1st time i see that dried seaweed +peanut as a topping for popiah.Looks delicious. The popiah skin home made or buy? Quite difficult to find nice popiah skin. Sometimes too thick and have funny smell :(
Pengsan!!!! AHAHAHHAHA......btw the seaweed...how does it taste like? i tot it was the olive flesh or something i dont know wat it's called in english.....:)
i love fried onion
A smile from SJ =)
yeah, i was right, i guess you must be doing popiah!! that seaweed is something new to me, really have not seen that before, taste nice in the popiah meh??
Looks great!
Ask your aunty cook for me to eat, can or not? This is an order!
I must let you know that your blog page is getting heavier and heavier to log in la. That is why Grandma keep his white, lower res.
Wao...I love popiah!
1st time see this seaweed. luckily i had my breakfast edy
Evann: errrr... so you fit in the "What if " condition #2... kakakaka :p
Smallkucing: My aunt used to make the skin when i was young... i still remember my sis liked to stand there and watch ... cos whenever there's a defect... she got the skin to eat :p But this skin in the pictures was also homemade by my aunt's friends. It's yummy~
manglish: the taste of the seaweed is just like seaweed and it's a signature food for people of Xiamen in Fujian. You could only get it from there... So the traditional Hokkien Taco (Popiah) will have this seaweed in there.
SJ: hehehe... you like the fried onion eh~
[SK]: dude, placing the seaweed in the popiah is very traditional ... that's why maybe you din taste it before ... it's taste nice with this seaweed :p
William: It's not only looks great it taste great too yum! yum! :p
Twilight Zone: Errrrr... really an order ar ... Grandma give order wor ... :p Thanks grandma for pointing out ... I think i need to cut down the pictures placing into my entry ... BTW, we have to complaint to the STREAMYX too. i noticed the speed of their services has degraded so much... I could hardly open one website in China :(
uLi.佑莉 : hehehe... me too.
Vincent: Kiddo, you miss the fun of getting hungry after seeing all my nice nice food piccie :p
gosh~ let's make a makan trip to TZ's aunt place :P
L2: errrrr.... :p
Just had my lunch. =(
The ingredients look really fresh, or is it your camera skills are good?
Some of the ingredients are petty unique, like the seaweed.
owh, the food is only served during CHingMing? why ler?first time i see though...:D
alot of extra fillings compare to the normal ones...must be very fullfilling loh
u should learn that, next time can treat us the special popiah kekeee... it looks very delicious to me kekeee
Shingo T: Dude, you just had your lunch ... no more fun on drooling over my piccie :p hahaha,.. maybe it's both my camera and the real freshness of the food :p
Gabriel: This is not the food that served during Ching Ming... my aunt and i not staying in the same city... she stayed in a small town up north ... so only Ching Ming we got the gathering coz I went to visit my grandparents grave... :p
Blue: Yup... but i could eat at least 10 packs :p It's so nice and delicious :p
the happy go lucky one: the raw material is easy to get but how fresh and the quality might be a questions... Anyway, the toughest to learn is the Jicama dish and how to make a nice popiah skin. :p
i miss popiah so much. If I were not so busy I woul fly back just to eat :(
hahaha lucky i just finish my dinner else i will feel very very hungry!
