Ingredients

• Fried Fish Maw, soaked to soften, then cut into small pieces
• Fried Vegetarian Bean Curd Layer, cut into small pieces
• Soaked Black Mushroom
• Broccoli
• Some smashed garlic
• Salt and sugar to taste
• Oyster Sauce, Dark Soy Sauce and Light Soy Sauce to taste
• Cornflour for thickening sauce

Can’t find any recipe online, I adapted and modified from the recipe used for Braised Sea Cucumber.

My method:

1. Blanch broccoli, set aside. Keep the water for later use
2. Dry Fish Maw on wok, set aside
3. Deep fry Vegetarian Bean Curd Layers, cut small
4. Saute garlic and add in black mushroom
5. Add in Fish Maw, and water from broccoli, braised till you can smell the aroma of the Fish Maw
6. Add in sauce and seasoning
7. Add in fried bean curd and broccoli, let it simmer
8. Thicken sauce with some cornflour mixture
9. Done !

Verdict: It taste exactly like those Braised Sea Cucumber Dish that is normally served during wedding dinner or in posh Chinese Restaurant with that ceramic address plaque . If you like Fish Maw, you should try this!! (After all, Fish Maw is always so much cheaper compare to Sea Cucumber

Finally, we found the well hidden famous Penang Cendol. It is not exactly at Penang Road, but just across the road on a small lane before turning into Komtar called Lebuh Keng Kwee.

This stall is actually placed outside a small coffee shop by the name of Joo Hooi (ya, you can trace your GPS by the name of Joo Hooi Cafe too).

You either stand along that super narrow busy lane to eat your cendol or order it into the shop by paying extra 50sen to the shop owner (we did that to our 3rd bowl, its really that GOOD!)

The Asam Laksa inside this shop was quite good too. Besides, we also ordered one Fried Kuew Teow, Fried Rice and some fried Lobak from different stalls inside this shop. Edible but not very nice, I would say.

When you dine at places like this, well, don’t expect to see any custom floral arrangements on the table. Even eating can be quite hectic too, especially if you have young kids like me.

Still, this cendol is worth trying and we will definitely go back just for the cendol

Signature Mickey Waffle @ HKD 45

I remember having the same waffle when I visited Tokyo Disneyland many years back. My hosted sister insisted this waffle, saying that it is a must when we go to Disneyland.

I was very delighted when I see this again in Hong Kong Disneyland and decided to let the kids try it on. However it is sold along the Main Streeet USA and seating was rather limited. In fact, hubby was complaining about the  birds dropping everywhere on the seat.

It would be good if they sell this snack as well in other restaurants inside Disneyland, or better still with some nice performance or music from the ovation guitars.

Its really taste and my kids love it! Great that we try this after all!

I like to purchase a goft for myself, be it big or small, whenever I travel.

I went to check out the jewels and bulova watches, but they are quite pricey. I am pretty easy going on clothes, so there was no reason to spend on it.

Not knowing what to buy over in Disneyland, I finally decided to get one of the bags. Priced only at HK$220, it is rather affordable, isn’t it? The Minnie prints is just so pretty and I love the way this bag look

I am glad I saw this at one of the booth, the Foot Long Sausage with Mushroom Sauce. Priced at HK$65, it is indeed a bit on the expensive side. But at least, this is really nice and I am going to share this with everyone I know who is going to HK Disneyland now. Do take note ya….if you bring laptop or supplies for office to Hong Kong.

Egg Tarts from Tong Kee taste very different from egg tarts from other bakery. Not only they are not sweet, the pastry are made of lards!

Although lards are not good for health and you might need even need to buyliporexall.com for your expanded waistline, they make pastry undeniable yummy!

They sell 2 types of Egg Tarts, butter or lards. Besides egg tarts, they have also many types of pastry and tarts.

A friend praised their Siew Pau but I find it normal. But I still prefer the sweeter taste Siew Pau from Seremban, *yum yum*. Coming up soon, review on Tong Kee’s cakes…
