Gourmet Garden

Just changed to a new UV filter with ED. And are trying the effects of the new filter. These are some of the photos taken at the Tanjung Bungah Tuesday Night Market(Pasar Malam). This stall sells various Chinese deep fried snacks (dim sum) and is normally located next to Uncle Bob’s Taiwan Chicken Chop truck. My favourite would be their Deep Friend Yam Dumplings or 芋角.

The Deep Friend Yam Dumplings or 芋角 are crisp and firm on the crust, the mashed yam filling is moist, sweet and fragrant, and the meat filling is sweet and savoury. I like this yam dumpling because of the yam filling which had the right texture and taste, but not the meat filling that was slightly over sweet for my tongue.  I have yet to find Deep Friend Yam Dumplings or 芋角 that tasted like it used to when I was small, taste of fine “Char Siew” filling with some green peas minus the the very sweet taste combined with crisp and tender yam casing.

The next and one of the more popular food or stalls at the Pasar Malam is the pancake or “ban chang kuih” stall located just opposite Uncle Bob. The pancakes sold here are the just the normal version, just with toppings of ground peanuts, sugar, corn and lots of melted margarine. The prices are very reasonable and they taste quite nice too.

Next to the Malay pancake stall is a Nasi Lemak makeshift table stall. RM1 per packet of nasi lemak is quite hard to come by in this area. Portion is not very big but is at least better than the stall just a few meters away from the Bagan Jermal Fire Station. Taste wise would be dependable on each individuals liking, but to us is average and acceptable. My wife like the salted fish version, which is also hard to come by.

At the weekly night market, we also get to source for some unique and cheap fresh vegetables that we schedule out for our daily dinner meals. But bare in mind that not always the harvest would be as good as commercial farms. This particular business is located at the corner of the hawker center, just opposite Uncle Bob.

Today, we found and bought a packet of Rozel or Asian berries and its raw leafs. When we inquire, we were told that the outer skin could be boiled to make a “Ribena” like drink. But make sure to remove the seed sack in it. And the leafs could be used to make “sayur lemak” or vegetables cooked in coconut milk.

Will try get more stalls to shop from at the night market.
