Thanks. I know exactly what it is but have long forgotten about it. Just haven't lived in the part of the world for decades so it's something I have long forgotten about (and the Chinese community where I am is decidedly not Hokkien). Sad to say too is that kueh of any sort can be exceedingly hard to find in Malaysia unless you know where to look. I watched a Martin Yan show about food in Malaysia and learned about Babar Charlie's in Meleka/Malacca but it a trek off the highway.

Lamb lamb and more lamb for the next few days. Earlier in the week I got pork back ribs and dry-rubbed and smoked it with some wood chips I got from Home Depot cheap years ago, with a Luhr-Jensen Li'l Chief smoker a neighbour recently gave to me after finding it in the local scrap metal bin. Not smoked long enough (the fancy grill that would have costed way too much new but I got cheap at a thrift shop smokes at too high a temperature) given the ribs had been brined, they were delicious and tender after cooking in a dutch oven. Wife said it was the first time she didn't even think of BBQ sauce.

Last night was a modified beef straccetti. Instead of sautéing the beef (organic short dated strip loin) that's been cut into strips, I just pan seared them and wilted the arugula in the juice. For the primo, I had spaghetti with basil pesto my wife made last year with all the home-grown basil we had. Needed the calories as I rode 6.6 Km to the local park, swam in the relatively-cold lake for ~500m, and rode back (with a ~100m vertical climb total in the last ~1.6Km).

Found short-dated domestic ground lamb today (~ 750g's worth) so more lamb burgers. Also found 3 racks of short-dated Australian lamb so that's the meal plan for the weekend.

Also made a pizza on Sunday, and first time the dough has been soft and not overworked so it didn't spring back when pulled.




Tried it with honey I had extracted from 4 of my bee hives the week before but it wasn't piquanted. Can't say the honey does it for me.
