Shredded Chicken Noodle & Steamed Black Pomfret

On this particular Sunday, we went to one of our regular coffee shop for breakfast.

We ordered shredded chicken noodle (kai si hor fun).
Without prawns is RM5, with prawns is RM5.50.
We can now enjoy delicious kai si hor fun without having to drive out to town.

Hoping to harvest enough ginger for the coming Chinese New Year.

Home cooked dinner for 2.
I need to clear some extra minced meat already thawed in the fridge and I wanted to also clear 2 frozen black pomfret so that I can stock up some fresh ones.
Home grown green brinjals (eggplants) sauteed with garlic and minced meat.
Steamed black pomfret with chopped garlic, pickled radish (choy poh) and chili. Seasoned with oyster sauce, salt and sugar. Squeezed some lime juice over the steamed fish before serving. We enjoyed the overload topping.

This snapshot was taken in 2015 and I think it is still there.
This is near to the restaurant which is famous for serving frozen beer.

Linking to Monday Mural.

Your faithfulness extends to every generation,
like the earth you created; it endures by your decree,
for everything serves your plans.

  3. Oh, yes, Chinese New Year! Sadly not celebrated here, but I know it from Perth.

    1. Actually the beer is not frozen hard. It has a special name in Chinese and is very popular for beer drinkers.

  4. Ooooooo, the Kai see hor fun looks so delicious! 😋 May I know the name of the shop? One day I will have cutie cutie msia n go Ipoh to eat all the good food there. Yummy! Thanks for sharing that Bentong ginger can be successfully grown in pots and bags. The pomfrets look tasty too. Long time I didn't eat whole steamed fish.

    1. This kai si hor fun is in Kopitiam Huan Le. I won't be giving you the address because the kopitiam will be shifting to a new location by end of this year. The new location is not confirmed yet.

  6. Kai si hor fun looks good! I've had steamed black pomfret once, nice also but not so used to it. Usually we steam the white pomfret. The lady at my fish stall will tell me the variety of black pomfret suitable for steaming but still, we will just deep fry. Old habits die hard.

    1. I usually fry the black pomfret but since these were really fresh, I wanted to steam them.

  7. Interesting mural -- does it advertise a particular brand of beer? I thought freezing would ruin it.

    1. Sorry. I should mention that the beer was not actually frozen hard. It comes short of freezing and it is very nice to drink.

  8. I've never heard of frozen beer, but I do love that mural. Quite an interesting one.

    Home grown ginger sounds good.

  10. What's the proportion of garlic vs choy poh in that overload topping?

    1. There is no fixed proportion, just use whatever you like best.
