Birthday Dinner?

Happy birthday Aileen May! :)
Aileen has been working with me (research on razor clams of Sarawak) since my undergraduate studies till now.. She will be finishing her masters soon and im hoping to graduate by August next year too!
Thank u so much for everything..
last nite we had dinner together, had a late nite at the lab so, the closest stall was the only resort! haha.. this was what we had.. a birthday dinner? hehe.. enjoy the post..

ha... talking bout LAKSA!! this is the thing. hehe..
sorie peninsular.. dont like ur laksa! :p hehe..
tribute to sarawakian laksa! :)
(however, i did ate vegetarian curry laksa in Kuala Lumpur, it was great too! almost similar to this one, but still sarawak laksa is the best for me!)

Tomato kueh tiaw.. (since everyone is talking bout kumatoes!! hehe.. phyllis and 5-star foodie)..
love the sweet n sour gravy, topped off with seafood! yummy prawns! :p u gotta try this!


Rojak!
This one is fruit rojak.. where all the fruits are mixed in a shrimp paste gravy + groundnuts..

Char kueh..
basically wheat flour + glutinous rice cakes stir fried with egg and salted carrots.. dash off with chilli pepper... Yum!

Laksa Power & Cendol Pulut in LANGKAWI Island

Its a moving stall.. haha.. nice one..
i dont see them much in sarawak..
there is one actually behind my rental here in samarahan..
a peninsular guy selling nasi lemak.. i guess the moving-stalls idea came from peninsular..


LAKSA POWER 3! wow!
even the name is so GRAND.. three times the power ok..!


this is laksa power..
its VERY different from the laksa in sarawak as sarawakians use shrimp paste and coconut milk which is left to simmer..
this one or rather the peninsular version of laksa uses fish essence? or can i say they boil the fish till its mashed up and the whole gravy is fishy.. hehe..
the noodle is the white, thick type and it is garnished with shredded cucumber, boiled egg and some greens.

haaa.. this is cendol pulut..
my previous post on ABC is very similar to this..
HOWEVER, ive NEVER tried the version with lots more cocnut milk and addition of glutinous rice in the cold delight..
this was the first time ive ever tried this.. its very milky, very sweet and i did felt it was quite odd or ackward to add 'pulut' rice in the delight.. :)
but all in all, very tasty.
