dates are good source of fibre and normally sold during the Malay festive season.

And I dont see any Choc Dates being sold here ( not that I know off)

 

Dates here would be sold fresh or preserved, coated in chocolate, filled with almonds or pistachio...there's also dates syrup as sweetener or like an alternative to honey spread.

 

Lots of dates are sold especially during Ramadan. This year it will be on April, so before that, different varieties of dates will be sold at very, very good price.

Jjajangmyeon 

Something about that black bean sauce.

 

 

@agenth, ohh..................how I love this, too! I love eating healthy food. Black bean noodles & sauce are a healthy thing alternative to regular noodles. Jajangmyeon is a popular food among Koreans. You've probably seen it in a lot of your favorite K-dramas. 

 

I love pancakes, so, for the potluck, I will bring this  - hahaha 

 

 

   and..................... Pumpkin Pie

"Biryani is love, Biryani is life" 

bwaahahhaha... did you know that during the pandemic, biriyani was the most ordered food according to one delivery provider? it was the #1 comfort food. hahahahhaah....

 

for those not aware, biriyani is basically meat and rice cooked together. depending on the style of cooking/recipe, it can take anywhere from an hour to several hours of cooking. it is often served at weddings as well as other celebrations like birthdays. it is basically a one pot kind of meal and does not have too many sides.

 

@Min2206 ~ those chocolate dates are amazing. some relatives from ME brought some when they visited. for some reason, the dates outside ME have a different taste actually. is it the soil? water? sun? something makes a difference! @MayanEcho ~ more than chocolate dates, I really enjoyed the orange peel dates -- that combo was amazing!

 

@nohamahamoud2002 ~ during the pandemic, I finally finished a cross stitch that I had started many many years ago!

 

@sadthe1st ~ I love cold cut platters and salad in buffet. have to remind myself to leave space in tummy for the mains. kekekekek......

 

was thinking of what food to bring today -- so posting turkish egg breakfast. it is really easy to make; found the recipe off youtube and made it during the pandemic whenever we felt like a light dinner...

 

 

 

[backstreetboysfan]

Thanks for inviting me!.

 

I am not a big sweets person, but when I do I like Ice cream, cake or something else that I like.

 

Some of my favourite dishes are.

 

Poutine 

 

 

Chicken Parmesan 

Tacos

 

I am grateful for  social medias, to enable us to connect (With family and friends) and share our views here and to chit chat to our hearts content.

[MayanEcho]

Papad, anyone? @Lmangla @Sleepy Owl 

 

 

I like this as toppings for rice based soups with fried garlic and chopped spring onions. 

 

@Min2206 I often bring these chocodates when visiting.

I never ate the Chocolate coated dates, but like the ones filled with almonds or walnuts, never tried pistachio though. Wouldn't Chocolate coated dates be too sweet?

@Sleepy Owl  Briyani rice is nice to take once a while ( is fattening ).

Do you have the recipe for Shawarna.

 

Yeah, Biryani is nice, and as you said, since it is fattening but we have it once in while. Its been a while, almost more than a year since I last ate Biryani from a restaurant, but, as I said, the one I love the most is the home made one, and we have it once in a while. 

 

As for Shawarma, well, we never prepared it at home, so can't really tell the recipe. 

 

@Min2206 Chingu, I just had poori yesterday evening

Not at all, the chocolate coat is very mild. The sweetness would still be more on dates. Dates with crushed pistachio fillings is very tasty! 

[Thong Thin]

@MayanEcho  we called it Papadam here and taste good when eaten together with banana rice.

 

We can also get from Supermarket here in pkt form and we deep fry and eaten as snacks, hub likes it cause

is salty.

Thanks @Lmangla for organising this.

 

I live in Malaysia, so fortunately we have access to a variety of food and flavours. As I get the opportunity to go all out...here's how I would eat my way through in one day (in my imagination). LOL

 

 

And it occured to me recently that I have the same preference for ice-cream as Lee Yeon

 

I am most grateful for my family, health, a roof over my heads and internet connectivity (without which I wouldn't be able to watch dramas and chat with all of you). Thank you Chingus for all the fun and laughter you bring into my life.

 

Hello !

 

I am from Malaysia too. We are fortunate to have so many foods to saviour.

 

Nice meeting you.

@elan1 all those potluck foods are indeed yummy & delicious. 

If by looking at those abs will shed off those calories after the potluck, all gym companies 

won't make any money from the bunch of us here

Don’t worry, I was the one that thought of edible barf bags (I’m too progressive even for @partyon @Abs_ triggered) , there’s more “brilliant” ideas to come 

Yes those gyms will go under but not us 

What will make our gym more exclusive is the quality of oppas we have...  you can only look at their abs if you have membership. The higher end memberships will give you more privileges such as 5 minute personal interactions with a particular oppa and etc lol

@elan1 i'm sure we have very strong jawbones from chewing and savoring good food.. maybe we could have pulled the truck of doom tying it to our jaws!

our jaws are weapons. Someone annoys us, we literally bite their heads off

No dear, not glutinous rice! It'd make milk rice sticky! You should use regular white rice. The stickiness of milk rice all comes from milk. So don't use glutinous rice. Some people use red rice as well. But white rice is better. 

 

Thank you so much for this information! I want to try it

@backstreetboysfan ~ I love chicken parmesan and I always want to taste poutine when I see it on travel shows. maybe one of these days, poutine will cross my table! hahahahha...

Awww, sorry to hear that @elan1  Yea, show us more @Lmangla esp when they are inspired by Turkish Oppa.





 

Going for a bowl near my place - weather here is hot and humid


Malaysia’s famous cendol dessert is an exotic combination of palm sugar syrup, green rice jelly-like noodles, coconut milk, beans and shaved ice

 

Can bring this tool over to the potluck party

A vendor prepares shaved ice for cendol.


Different versions with glutinuous rice / corn  and other toppings

Spoiler

 

 

[Megan]

1. One of my comfort foods is kanimayo sushi. Basically the topping is just mixing crushed crab stick and mayonnaise. But it is so good. Frankly I don’t even need the rice and seaweed. My family version makes sushi rolls with this stuff but the restaurant sushi is better.

but mayonnaise ain’t healthy so i really should cut down on this stuff. I’ve been eating it a lot since the pandemic introduced me to supermarket sushi

2) I am grateful that I have a job, that I am still healthy, and for anything 三生三世 related.

3) @MayanEcho@UnluckyWhiteCat

you two are the only ones I’ve chatted to outside the ELOD forum, if only to talk about more ELOD or pillow book translations.

[partyon]

Why is Turkish oppa featured in every Event thread nowadays?!?? 

 

@Megan I love sushi too!

The one you posted a pic of looks really yummy. When I go to the sushi buffet, I always focus on the vegetarian ones for some reason. Egg, tofu, avocado - yum!
