On Thursday evening, we went to our regular stall for dinner but found it closed. We then drove to another 2 more places and they were also closed.
It was not a festival day but it could be that it was an auspicious month for weddings and holding of wedding dinners.
So hubby decided to drive to town in search of a place to get our dinner.
It was a cool evening and looked like it was going to rain soon.
We finally settled for Restoran Fong Wei Ge Hot Pot.
We didn't order Hot Pot because there were only 2 of us.
It was end of November and someone here is very creative to come up with this great idea. The top of water plastic containers were used as lamp shades and curled with Christmas ornaments.
Our dinner has been served. We ordered Stir-fried Fiddlehead Ferns with Salted Egg (Paku Pakis in Malay). We usually order sambal stir-fried but this time I wanted to try it with salted egg. The sambal fried will be a better choice.
Steamed salted free range chicken (half chicken).
The meat tender and juicy, very flavourful.
We ordered 2 glasses of apple juice at promotional rate. It was only about a week ago and I can't remember the price for the drink or the meal.
Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit,
who is in you, whom you have received from God?
You are not your own; you were brought at a price.
Therefore honor God with your bodies.
(1 Corinthians 6:19-20, New International Version-NIV)
I like eating veggies. That paku pakis looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lina. I love all types of veggies. Have a wonderful day!
DeleteThe steamed chicken looks delish...like the 'wong yau kai'...mmmm
ReplyDeleteOh yes, the chicken is very delicious. Why not have a try there. Have a happy day!
DeleteI usually order paku with belacan or just stir fry with garlic. Never tasted it with salted egg.
ReplyDeleteSteamed chicken. I love it!
Hi Rose, it was our first time ordering the paku pakis with salted egg. Have lovely day!
DeleteAspecto delicioso estes pratos.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e continuação de uma boa semana.
Thank you, Francisco. It is a delicious dinner. Have a fabulous day!
DeleteI have eaten bittergourd fried with salted egg but not paku. Usually paku, I prefer it stir fry with belacan or garlic & wine. Steamed chicken look absolutely juicy. No dippings for chix?
ReplyDeleteFirst time we ordered paku with salted egg just to try. Oh yes, the dipping is ginger paste which I didn't take any photo. Have a happy day!
DeleteThe chicken caught my attention...
ReplyDeleteI like how they arrange the chicken pieces on the plate. Have a beautiful day!
Deletewow...I want that fiddlehead ferns stirfry!! My mouth is watering...Nancy.
ReplyDeleteHi Angie, fiddlehead ferns is our favourite too. Have a wonderful day!
DeleteWhat a simple and nice dinner. I never try paku pakis with salted egg very interesting.
ReplyDeleteHi Catherine, it was a delicious dinner too. Our first time trying paku pakis with salted egg. Have a great day!
DeleteYour chicken dinner looks succulent!!! :) Love all your photos.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda. Have a lovely day!
DeleteThe chicken looks delicious, a great treat.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mamas. Have a great day!
DeleteI like to eat paku but never tried paku with salted egg before. Sounds ok but seems cooked with sambal is nicer. Have a superb evening!
ReplyDeleteHi Mun, when the lady mentioned paku with salted egg, I was curious and I wanted to try. My hubby prefers with sambal. Have a superb day!
DeleteYummylicious! Good choice for two persons.... I might go there one of these days?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Claire. A comfortable place to eat, not too crowded or noisy. The food is good too. Have a happy day!
DeleteYour fiddleheads looks so different than our fiddleheads. Our are from the Ostrich Fern, Matteuccia Struthiopteris. I love my fiddleheads with butter and my son in law like his with vinegar. The steamed chicken looks very tender and juicy.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day Nancy.

Thank you, Julia. The fiddleheads are of smaller specie and I do not know its name. I hope to find out soon. Have a great day too!
DeleteI love your meals. A lot. I want to tag along with you Nancy.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. ☺
Thank you, Sandee. Would love to have you with us and you are most welcome. Have a fabulous day too!
DeleteThose skies look ominous.
ReplyDeleteHi William, from the look of the sky, we were expecting a downpour. Have a sunny day!
DeleteThis name, Paku Pakis, sounded familiar, and then I read on and found the ferns. I first tried these I think in Kuching. Yummy.
ReplyDeleteHi Monica, the ferns are usually served as salads or stir-fried with sambal belacan. With salted egg is something new. Have a lovely day!
DeleteOh, I so love the sky shots...those first couple shots. So appealing to me.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rose. Have a wonderful day!
DeleteI know I would have gone home and cooked a meal if two places were closed.
ReplyDeleteThe food looks nice.
Hi Margaret, since we were already in town, there are plenty of choices. We can easily pick a place and have our meal there.
DeleteThank you, De. Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteNancy, I love steamed chicken and that's what I would order whenever that's on the menu.
ReplyDeleteHi Phong Hong, this steamed chicken is very tasty. Have a happy day!
DeleteHi Nancy, yummy! That plate of steamed chicken looked very tasty. Hmmm... I've eaten prawns fried/coated with salted eggs but haven't tried it with veggie. Should be nice though I always go for stir-fry with garlics.
ReplyDeleteI have tried bitter gourd with salted egg. This veggie with salted egg is a new one. Have a great weekend!
