Scrumptious Saturday Vol. 2 : Some sweet and sour scrumptiousness

March 3, 2012 Paris B 11 Comments

I love dining out and whilst I enjoy going to restaurants and cafes, my heart (and stomach) truly lies with the hearty fare of the “dai chao” no-frills roadside or coffeeshop based eating places that dish up single serve meals or dishes quickly, deliciously and cheaply. A general crowd favourite is  sweet and sour meat (“ku lo yuk”) and when I do feel like eating it, this is the one I go for.

Feast your eyes on one of the best sweet and sour pork (“ku lo yuk”) I’ve had this side of KL.

sweet sour pork

Drat. I just made myself hungry reliving this dish that I ate over the week 🙂 There’s also something else that’s sweet after the jump that I think will appeal to many 😉

The meat (could be pork or chicken depending on what you fancy) is battered and deep-fried and then a sweet and sour sauce made from tomato and chilli sauces and made tangy with fresh tomatoes and sometimes pineapples, is poured over the dish and served. The difference with this specific one is that the meat isn’t overly battered and they use nice lean fillets as opposed to fatty meats I’ve had before.

I’m sure there are variations of this in any Chinese restaurant worldwide. Just ask for sweet and sour pork or chicken and you will receive a variation of this one. A classic Chinese dish 😀

This specific one I’ve featured is at Hung Kee, an old and established coffee-shop restaurant along Jalan Loke Yew, Kuala Lumpur, famous for its wonton noodles and roast meats 🙂

As for the other thing that’s sweet that most of you will enjoy, its a new creation by Baskin-Robbins – Yogurt Smoothies!

Do you like eating sweet and sour pork/chicken? If you know of any other “dai chao” that makes good “ku lo yuk” or just is generally good, I’d love to know. I always love trying out new eating places 😀

Happy weekend!

    That does look good! I don’t usually order it though, most places put too much batter on it.

      I agree with you! I don’t have it in many places unless I look over to other peoples’ tables and see that it isn’t overly battered 😉

Apparently elephants would eat the fruit of the ma Apparently elephants would eat the fruit of the marula tree and they’d get drunk 🤣 Trying out this #drunkelephant Marula oil. Very popular but worth the hype? On the blog!

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜
Tell me your fave Antipdoes skincare product!

It’s my first year doing retail and honestly, I’d never been so busy! The year-end rush is unreal! But busy is good, right? At least that’s what I tell myself 😂
While I pack up gift boxes of treats for doggies 🐶 (I’ve tied so many ribbons I’ve finally started to get it right!) #loccitanemalaysia makes it easy to shop for humans 😅 at experienceloccitane.com with their L’Occitane en Demande service. Place your order, and pick up in store or have it delivered. 
Had a bit of breather today and put together a little video. Blink and miss my little monster 🐶 helping me shop! Not sponsored but I did receive a gift from L’Occitane, for which my sun-exposed, dry dog-walking skin thanks you! 
Haven’t done any Christmas shopping this year. It has only just struck me that it’s but mere days away! 😨 Have you done yours?
