I love barter trading with such neighbours...And I think Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall has the same idea....barter trading with neighbours.<br /><br />I will exchange dill and my basil with sweet potatoes. I also have lots of torch ginger and limes. Also my not so good daun long too...I may not have to buy vegetables after all...Don't forget I have fresh coconuts too...<br /><br />Any one in Miri would like to barter trade with me????Ensuraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05201156760287157665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765555411888082127.post-68703020129539067142010-03-04T10:22:50.585+08:002010-03-04T10:22:50.585+08:00So many comments!

Its amazing how one topic can relate to other topics. you might have more to write about just reading the comments.<br /><br />Bubur cha cha has always been a favourite. not the west malaysian one with one hundred thousand other ingredients inside. Sometimes if i do order bubur cha cha i'm usually left with 1/4 of the bowl if i scoop out the unnecessary ingredients. <br /><br />I remember helping grandma clean the yam out of the back garden when the heng hua auntie neighbour allowed grandma to take some. We'll clean the root, peel it and slice it into small pieces to make grandma's yam cake. steamed and fried. the young leaves(?) would be used to cook as a dish for our lunch or dinner. Very very very nice. <br /><br />During my college years i would buy a lot of yam and cook, bubur cha cha, fried yam, yam cake,stir fried yam and pork, yam and porridge, and other recipes i learnt, for days until my housemates got sick of it(haha). I can never get sick of yam, just itchy. <br /><br />I didn't know that bubur cha cha was related to chap goh meh, otherwise i would've attempted to make it for a chap goh meh pot luck that i was invited to. it would be awesome to feed my west malaysian friends how nice bubur cha cha is cooked simple rather than the rojak bubur cha cha we find here.Mumble jumblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13389941097823270945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765555411888082127.post-22766538774249049402010-03-03T20:20:29.141+08:002010-03-03T20:20:29.141+08:00Dear Today (Chin Tien)

Almost put the match into the kerosene bottle!! <br /><br /><br />That's one story from your big sister!! LOL.<br /><br />My husband likes Loh Mai Kai and my kids love Wo Kok.

I love watching chickens and ducks as they grow...and of course tend to vegetables...At the moment I really want to plant taro...but the soil in my garden has become too hard from the heat...Need to buy top soil again.<br />Keep the garden growing.

You will go LOL, I hate BBCC. I don't ...Hi CY,<br /><br />You will go LOL, I hate BBCC. I don't cook it. I think it is because when I was little, my mum used to buy gunny sacks of sweet potatoes. They were covered with dried mud. This anuty claims that the mud protects it. We were lazy to wash, and grumbles that the mud added to the weight so she could charge mum more. )from hind sight, we were the evil nieces, she didn't sell by weight, just by the sack.)<br /><br />We had boiled potatoes as is, without peeling for breakfast, we had to peel the cooked potatoes, or is we were in a rush, we juust ate the skin because my Ah Kung said the skin is the best part, and true to his words, he lived a ripe of age of 84 and was highly sick.<br /><br />Then at 3 pm, we had to peel the sweet potatoes, chop into cubes, and I was too hurried to chop into nice cubes, to be scolded that I was FAI SOW FAI GEOK, ie fast hand fast leg. We had FAN SHU TONG, sweet potato sweet soup, no nothing like sago pearls or coconut milk.<br /><br />In summary, I had sweet potatoes coming out of my ears. LOL<br /><br />Sweet potatoes in NZ is called Kumara, ad regarded as good stuff, used in roasting to accompany lamb and Pumpkin. (You read why I don't eat pumpkin.)<br /><br />I like yam/taro. My Ah Kung grew them, all sorts.<br /><br />Mdm Tiang also taught me to make yam puffs. Ngao Kok. This I like.<br /><br />LOL, you can I went to the same school, I mean we both were taught the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. I read you reply to Uncle Lee. I was going to tell him that. As usual, you are my big sis in school, you mentioned it first.<br /><br />Luckily for me, my husband has a very simple stomach. Just cook him simple food. He is a happy man. Ah Yo if I married Uncle Lee or his brother or his cousins. The whole day, I would have to slave in the kitchen with the TOI HUM ZAI, tum tum tum the rumpeh. Will never be good enough for them.<br /><br />I am going to paste this to his blog.Ann, Chen Jie Xue 陈洁雪https://www.blogger.com/profile/04399207312968010460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765555411888082127.post-77809770816658713072010-03-03T14:59:50.467+08:002010-03-03T14:59:50.467+08:00My dad is a farmer.
