Favorite Food (NADIAH NADHIRAH A196255)

 Hi guys, Welcome back!

Today I would like to share about my favorite food that I love the most~

        It is called Cantonese Fried Noodle, also known as (Wat Tan Hor). This is one of my favorite types of fried noodles. This noodle dish in a silky egg-based sauce hits all the right notes. The smooth velvety sauce is good on almost everything from the smoky pan-fried noodles to the seafood or meat and vegetables. It is a must-try!

        Traditionally, Choy sum/ Yu chai/Oilseed rape is the most popular vegetable used. Cabbage is often used as well. I eat this when I ate at Madam's Kwan Restaurant. They served the best Cantonese fried noodles ever! I have tasted a lot of others stall and restaurant before but none of them can beat Madam's Kwan dishes. 

      

      Other than that, I also love various type of dessert. My favorite all the time has always be "Ais Kacang" or most likely known as "Ais Batu Campur". Ais Kacang literally means ice beans, “Air Batu” means ice while “campur” means mixed. Ais Kacang consists of a mound of finely shaved ice sweetened with sweet, flavored syrups such as concentrated brown sugar syrup (“Gula Melaka”), rose syrup, and evaporated milk.

        It is mixed with various ingredients to enhance the flavors namely, roasted peanuts, red beans, “cendol” (worm-like jelly strands made from a combination of green pea flour and glutinous rice flour), basil seeds, grass jelly, and creamed corns.

      Certain stalls also add coconut flesh, coconut milk, fresh fruit slices, and Nata de Coco to give it a unique and flavorful taste. Sometimes, some vendors add their own twist by putting on a scoop of ice cream as a finishing touch which makes it absolutely sinful and perfect on a hot, humid day in Malaysia

     This dessert was based on the shaved ice dessert in Japan. Traditionally, it was only made with shaved ice and red beans, though throughout the years the dessert has evolved, and modern recipes use various ingredients. Today, Ais Kacang generally comes in bright colors with different ingredients and dressings based on one’s preference.

        It has come a long way since it was first introduced in the country. The shaved ice was made by a hand-cranked ice machine which was operated manually by the vendor. Now, most stalls use a convenient, motorized machine to shave ice. It is very popular in Asian, everyone must give it a try!
