This year Mamarazzi said lazy to do open house. But then Papa said easy mah...no need to cook la. Already have loads of goodies from Trengganu leh. Got the famous Lemang Kijal, got the Fish Karipap, got the ketupat.....ahem ahem...eh...ni Hari Raya or Chinese New Year leh? Oh well.....masyarakat majmuk, right? Just make steamboat la, Papa said. And fry bihun.
That's why early Saturday morning we headover to Pantai Remis...the one in Jeram...ah...not the other one in Perak.
Wanna get some fresh Lokan to make Baked Lokan as in Cockle, Clams and Lokan Galore
There were loads of fresh seafood being sold there. Crabs, bamboo clams, mussel, clams, lokan, Lala, fish and some unidentified fresh seafood.
This is the place to buy cheap and fresh seafood .
Even have these "Chut Chut" siput. At least that is what we call it la. Dunno the English name.
Papa spotted some oysters. Bought some.
Came home, Mamarazzi started to chop and clean all the vegetable. Took out the Fishballs and stuffs that we bought from Tj Sepat(that's another story). Heat up the lemang, ketupat and karipap.
The lemang and Karipap were great hits among friends coz they had never had fish karipap before. And the lemang taste much better than those found in KL. Cheap too. RM10 for 4 lemang. Where else can you get such cheap lemang?
The fresh oysters were not that great. had a hard time opening the oyster....all sort of apparatus were used...including hammer...that is till one of Papa's friend arrived and he used a butter knife to open them. So easy leh.
It seems not really fresh. Fresh ones should be white in color. Oh well....just throw into steamboat and cook la instead of eating it raw.
We (the kids) had a great time with the ice cream maker. The night before Mamarazzi freezes some dragon fruits and banana.
During the party, we had banana and dragon fruit ice cream. Pure frozen fruit with no sugar added. It was delicious.
It seems like not only human, celebrate Chinese New Year. Plants also wanna celebrate. Mamarazzi spotted one of her air plant which previously was green in color had turned rainbow color . It was so lovely.
Haiz... Too bad i am not one of your invited guests, sobsssss....
ReplyDeleteAiyer.......tell u go gombak and pick u up from the LRT there but you went to Bukit Gombak pulak
