Ramblings...

It's been some 4 months since we arrived here and my hubby liked the spicy food/dishes here that he kept bugging me to learn and try cooking some of the dishes. And I finally did.. 

This is a dish that we tried at one of the luncheons at the house church that we attend. And I manage to obtain the recipe from the chef...

粉丝cooked with豆拌酱

Apparently this dish can be prepared hot or cold, but I've only tried preparing it hot and I kind of prefer it that way.
Next dish is just a normal stirfry vegetables with mushroom but I used their spicy chilli sauce to cook it, and it's so yummy!!! Spicy and temperature hot!


And what more to finish such a spice-laden meal than a nice bowl of cold mixed fresh fruits with yogurt..


And I finally tried the blueberry cheesecake recipe that I got from Auntie Jess. (Missed those times when Auntie Jess brought her DELICIOUS blueberry cheesecake to church and we got to enjoy the yummy dessert.)
Well, this is my first time trying to make a baked cheesecake, and it turned out pretty well, I think. 

Looks and tastes good too!!!

And here are some of the common sights on the roads now that the weather had turned cold. Carts selling all sorts of food from roasted sweet potatoes, baked bread (sorta like pita), grilled skewers like mini potatoes, toufu, meat, etc....

Look at the carts! I like the traditional huge urns as 'oven' to bake sweet potatoes. 
And further behind is a guy selling pineapples on a stick. Reminds me of Krabi where we enjoyed fresh pineapples (cut and cored) on the sunny beach.

The mouth-watering aroma drifting from this cart with a big variety of grilled food..

And this is a common sight any time of the year...Street peddlers selling their wares ranging from necklaces to handphone covers...
