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.

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 😉

An “I’ll be out all day and need my makeup to An “I’ll be out all day and need my makeup to stay on” look 😅 Super simple and using stuff I already own. How many do you recognise? 😅 

For the base I think the key is the Nars setting powder which is basically a silica powder. Many brands have similar white powder for setting. I did this same look yesterday and it barely budged/faded by evening. Only lipstick needed a little topping up 😊 

And this is about all the makeup I can handle these days 😂 no eye makeup cos I can’t be arsed 🤪

Excellent good fun! 😆 Your eyes always want more than your stomach can handle. Ate a lot and bought even more food back home. Diet? What diet? 😂

Posting for posterity because I like this photo 😆 Also hello! 😜

It’s interesting that when I meet people they always ask me “Are you still blogging?” which tells me they don’t read my blog anymore (cos if they did they’d know I am lol! Weekly generally, but still writing) Yet I don’t blame them because a lot of social credit is placed on one’s Instagram presence. This I fear, is an area I am lacking. I pop in every now and then, share stories that are totally unrelated to what people follow me for, then wonder why they unfollow lol! Other times, spider webs gather in the corners of my unused account. I don’t blame them. Not everyone wants to know what my dogs are up to 😜

Anyway I make no apologies. It’s ok if you follow. It’s ok if you don’t. It’s ok if you’re interested in stuff I do. It’s ok if you’re not. Life goes on for both you and I and ultimately, we just both want it to be happy. So do what makes you happy 😊 I’ll still share my beauty finds and I still blog once a week. I may share what I’m up to from time to time, or I may not. I can tell you that I’m keeping busy and that I have a lot on my plate, none of it glamorous unlike that of most content creators/influencers. It’s too boring for most for me to share here so I’ll just share the good bits - as Instagram intended 😂

But if you want to find me, you’ll know how 😊

The review for the product is somewhere on the blog mywomenstuff.com
Yes I know many of you are terrified of lizards 🦎🫣

But I liked this sunscreen - for the body. Even though it left a white cast. Even though it is hard to remove. It kept my arms protected through a weekend of brutal sun exposure and I survived without burning! ✌🏻
