Previous post was on how to make steamed rice cake for this street food called ' Char Koay Kak ' . Fried Rice Cake / Char Koay Kak in Hokkien language,literally means Fried Squares of Rice Cake. I made the plain rice cake from scratch. We had ' Char Koay Kak' for lunch the day I made this steamed rice cake.
Since the pandemic started, I have learned to make my own rice cake. Found one recipe that produce soft firm and,springy . Perfect for making 'Char Koay Kak'... which is our all time favourite street food. Stir fried with preserved radish, bean sprouts , egg and lots of garlic. Easy to make rice cake and the recipe is a keeper for sure. The recipe is from Instagrammer Sonia. I will share her recipe below.

Whistler is a fantastic skiing and snowboarding resort town and offers a lot to do and see. When the slopes close at the end of the day, and you need somewhere to chase the chill away, a restaurant is often what comes to mind first.
These are the most popular restaurants in Whistler, and why their fare is worth plunging down mountainsides to get to!

In-hotel restaurants have been a classic part of fine dining for centuries, so it's no surprise that the highest-rated Italian restaurant is at home in the Pinnacle Hotel Whistler! Quattro at Whistler is a fantastic restaurant offering familiar and new dishes in some of the best flavor combinations you'll find in Whistler. Although it's the most expensive restaurant on this list, every dish and drink on this menu is good enough to warrant that price. This is a restaurant worth buying real estate for sale in Whistler, so you can come back time and time again.

If you want to try homemade pasta in a restaurant that feels like you’re being welcomed into a family’s home: it’s time to go to Pasta Lupino. Not only is every dish more delicious than the last, but this is also the most affordable restaurant on the list. When placed against Quattro at Whistler, it might be hard to compare because of the clear quality difference, but if you want comfort, it's here. This is the best place to end a day of physical activity and enjoy some carbs while your body catches up with all of the skiing and snowboarding you did.

This high-end French and Fusion restaurant has a lot to offer. Not only is the kitchen open behind the bar, so you can watch your food getting cooked, but it's also a fantastic place to enjoy intimate conversation and gathering with friends and loved ones. The menu may have pieces you don't recognize yet, but once you try them, you'll fall in love with the idea of ordering them time and time again.

This sophisticated restaurant offers breakfast and Canadian classics in an upscale restyling. Although it's preferred that you reserve a table, you can still usually grab seating during most weeknights. Not only is the food locally sourced and delicious, but it's all cooked to order and displayed beautifully. This has been voted the most instagrammable restaurant in Whistler multiple times over!
Whether you're in town for the weekend or you're moving to town, these restaurants should be some of the first places you visit once you arrive. Not only is the fare delicious, but the locals are friendly, and the environment is one of the best you'll find.
Yesterday was Sunday and I thought perhaps I should cook a vegetarian dish with half cabbage, the balanced half actually after cooking the first half with sea prawns . A very delicious vegetarian dish with a combination of two types of canned mushrooms - straw mushrooms and button mushrooms, fried beancurd skin, wood ear fungus, glass noodles, carrots and cabbage. The most hero ingredient is the fermented red beancurd. Hubby likes it with not too much gravy but yet every piece of ingredients are well coated with the thick gravy of the fermented red beancurd . Of course, ginger slices and chopped garlic are important ingredients too , without them, the dish will not be flavour, they h add flavours to the dish. My late mom cooked this dish well. I couldn't recreated this dish like hers but will do for now. Hubby enjoyed the dish eventhough he is a meat eater. I added a meat dish for him - canned Beef Curry ( Adabi brand ) A complete meal for two person.
1 large chicken breast - sliced horizontal across into three pieces on each side of breast . Rub Salt and Pepper on each slices. Season for a few minutes. Coat with AP flour, then dip into whisk egg. After which, coat with breadcrumbs. Fried on shallow oil till golden browned and cooked through. Drain off excess oil on paper towel. Serve with brown sauce of your choice .
