Bang ngiyan, meaning small fries is the name given by the Foochows to any small fish coughed up by the sea or the river. It can be white bait or the small anchovies. But there is this ikan enseluai which is really a nice little river fish which is only thumb size and some times bigger or smaller.
Fresh enseluai from the Rajang, or the Baram, the Limbang and Trusan rivers are really tasty . It can be steamed as a paste, deep fried, or just boiled. Some people even salt it.
The fish is usually caught by a casting net and quite a lot can be caught because they swim together in the rivers.
Figuratively the Foochows would say that girls should go and catch a big fish and not just any small bang ngiyan.
There is the story of two women. One was made match to marry someone of the same back ground, rich, good looking and educated. Well she has a comfortable life and no one would really kow what she thinks,whether she is really happy. Another woman, from the same town worked hard and married her colleague who was generally considered the poorest guy among the work force. But they were really in love and they struggled to make ends meet. Not a bad love match with the bang ngiyan because he would always remember to carry water for her bath when young. And at the end of her life, he looked after her very faithfully.
Just before she died she said to him, "In my next life, I would like to be your wife again." What better statement is that?
Marry rich and all your problems will be solved is generally the advice. Most just have to settle for bang ngiyan. But may be a bang ngiyan is a dream husband!
It really depends on your destiny. That's what my maternal grandmother would say.

As claimed by Stanford Medical, It is really the ONLY reason women in this country live 10 years more and weigh 42 lbs lighter than us.
(And really, it has NOTHING to do with genetics or some secret-exercise and absolutely EVERYTHING to do with "how" they eat.)
BTW, What I said is "HOW", and not "WHAT"...
