Jeruk Manis (Sweet Pickles)

Most pickles you are sour. That's because of the acidic elements that is produced during the process or due to the vinegar used in the pickling process.

These uses honey and sugar.  So its sweet, and it uses varieties of fruits and berries available like, unripe papaya, guava, young mango and other types of local fruits and berries.

Mee Rebus Muar

Mee Rebus Muar, a kind of thick gravy noodles originally from Southern Peninsular Malaysia. The gravy is made from a kind of sweet potato flour. The gravy is then added with beef stock. This gives the noodle it's subtle sweetness. Some version is sometimes made with crab stock instead of beef.

Asam Pedas Ikan Terubuk

The terubuk, some say it is the milk fish, some say it is the river herring, others ; shad fish. Whatever the species is, it is nice to eat if you do not mind the small bones and lots of it. The fish is oily with large scales.

This terubuk is cooked with assam and chilly. It is known as Assam Pedas. Literally meaning sour and spicy.

I tried this dish as I was told that this was the late father of the Sultan of Selangor 's favourite dish.

Pekasam Fish

The pekasam fish is made of marinated river fish with rice, kept for at least a month in an earthen jar. The fish is usually the tilapia, although some people prefers other types of river fish.

The fish is then fried and served with a slice of lime, and eaten with rice.

The pekasam used to be the food for the poor. Paddy farmers used to have them for lunch when working in paddy fields.

Carrot Cake

This is my favorite cake, the carrot cake. It is not too sweet,  just nice.

Balinese coffee

They claim that this is the way balinese have their coffee. With coconut cream instead of cream from milk. I really don't know.  I've been to Bali, but in all honesty,  I've never had this type of coffee.

But I still like it. In particular,  the taste and aroma of the beans are still detectable in spite of the cream base it is served in.

Balinese Nasi Champor

Literally means mixed rice, rice mixed with a variety of different dishes.  This, I sampled at Ole Ole Bali, a halal Balinese restaurant located in Sunway PJ.
