Fried Chinese Rice Cake aka Char Koay


I love this delicious chinese rice cake fried with preserved radish and lots of garlic . I went for my evening walk and saw this road side stall selling this and whoa...I told myself I am not going to cook dinner...we shall have this for dinner instead. Luckily , I brought out some ringgits with me and thus bought back 2 packets ...one for the other half and the other for myself. I told the man to add eggs and requested for extra radish. I cut short my brisk walking and walked as fast as I could...like in a marathon race , carrying these deliciousness with me , sniffing in the aroma of these fried rice cake as I took a detour back home....LOL! Very typical of me....when there is good food...I will cut short my brisk walking :p

We can get this dim sum dish from the night market * pasar malam * but this stall is still the best for me. Hot and garlicky aroma...who could resist such as simple and yet delicious mouth watering fried rice cake. Just look at the famous Ipoh bean sprouts and lots too...ohh, by the way , Ipoh is famous for its bean sprouts or 'taugeh ' :)


this fried rice cake is full of bean sprouts and garlic.....



the garlicky aroma with the dried radish...simply
mouth watering....:))

a light and hearty dinner for Daddy and Me



this is what Malaysian hawker food is all about......cheap yet delicious :))
and the best thing is I don't have to cook but
someone out there, for once ,
cooked for me.....LOL!
