2006回台小吃巡禮 (Year 2006 eat in Taiwan)



離家三年,雖每隔一段時間就回家一趟,但對於台灣小吃的口味往往無法忘懷。從家附近的林口街開始做個巡禮,從兄弟鹽酥雞到乾麵都不能錯過,最讓我念念不忘的就是林口街公園旁廟前清蒸肉圓,可惜它處於公休狀態,以至於錯失再次回味的機會。而兄弟鹽酥雞的地瓜薯條,也是必點美食,香酥外皮包覆著甜而不膩的地瓜,也是吃過無數家鹽酥雞仍然念念不忘一再回味的一絕。

這次的小吃巡禮還錯過了五分埔的"雪中紅"大腸包小腸,不曉得是不是警察掃蕩的緊,完全不見其蹤影。只好另找個替代品,幸好發現人潮洶湧的"鄉村"煙燻滷味,完全入味的鴨翅、鴨腳,讓人忍不住將黏著骨頭的小碎肉都吃得一乾二淨,再配上饒河街慈佑宮入口的青草茶,吮指回味。既然走到饒河街夜市,自然不能放過著名胡椒餅,咬勁十足佈滿芝麻的外皮,豐富十足湯汁滿溢的肉餡,長長人群的等待仍然是值得的。買個鴨頭、鴨舌頭邊吃邊等,小吃的樂趣就在此。慢慢逛著夜市四處覓尋夜市新意,果不其然,韓式辣年糕是這半年來新出頭的玩意。辣辣的韓式味噌醬裏著Q勁十足的韓式年糕,一支才20元,但保證讓你辣味無窮。走到饒河街夜市的另一頭,買個老店特賣的楊桃汁,消渴兼解辣。另一半的路程散步消化,加個宜蘭特產的花生捲冰淇淋和地瓜球當做甜點為小吃之旅畫下美麗句點。


小民問我,我們哪天會不會為了吃而吵架,幾乎沒想就回"會"。被台灣美食養挑的我,實在難拒美食的誘惑。身為台灣人的我們,想想真的太幸福了,全世界各地沒一處像我們被小吃給包圍,每半年又有不同的新口味在夜市等待挑剔的我們發掘。問我懷念台灣的什麼,往往不經大腦思考就說出,台灣小吃、各種美食。I love Taiwan Food.

PS. 回去一趟增胖了四公斤,努力減肥中


Every time I back to Taiwan, the first thing was going to night market to eat all the Taiwan food. From fried crispy chicken to braised food, all can not be missed. If you have not try Taiwan food, you must take a time to visit Taiwan night market, you will not regret. There is no place like Taiwan will let you miss food so much, and you will find new food almost half year to meet Taiwanese critic mouth. Although I just came back from Taiwan, but still miss it so much. Do visit Taiwan if you have chance, it will not let you down. Here is the website you can use for the Taiwan food translation, bring it when you visit, you will be surprised. http://tw.myblog.yahoo.com/jw!07CnrxqGER4xTHkZ9dKlFg0V4cgF/article?mid=663

自己動手做韓式泡菜 Make Kimchi by myself



來新加坡後,開始自己動手做很多東西,而韓式泡菜則是我喜愛的食物之一,一來下飯,二來可以保存很久,平時還可以當湯頭,算是一項很實用的食物.但缺點是製程繁複,去年做過一次後,老是提不起勁再做一次.這周六心血來潮再去買泡菜材料,再做一次囉!但忘了放魚露,希望味道不會差太多.



After come to Singapore, I started to make a lot food by myself. Kimchi is one of my favorite foods, not only it is a very good appetizer, it also can preserve longer and be used as soup. The only drawback is it's too complicated to make, this is the reason why I didn't make it again after last year 1st trial. This Saturday I suddenly want to make it again, but forgot to put Thai Fish Sauce inside, hope the flavor will not change too much.

香蕉芝麻鬆餅蛋糕 [Banana Sesame Waffle Cake]


Lisa在一橋大學時的學妹也到新加坡駐點工作,熱情的她邀約我們去她家喝下午茶.第一次到別人家裡作客總不能兩手空空去,帶了個第一次嘗試的鬆餅蛋糕帶去和大家一同分享.雖然底部有點沾鍋,導致倒到盤子時醜醜的,但大家對它仍讚譽有佳,看來我也有做菜的天份.

鬆餅蛋糕材料及作法
材料:
鬆餅粉 200g
牛奶 150cc
蛋 1個

作法: 把上述材料攪拌均勻,放如電子鍋蒸30分鐘即可(電子鍋會自動跳起,不若理它就讓它保溫.若是一般電鍋則是蒸15分鐘後,再悶個20分鐘,拿筷子插有硬硬的就OK了).若想做成香蕉口味,就放入香蕉.像這次我加了兩根香蕉,一些芝麻和葡萄乾.若電子鍋品質不好(像我的),建議鍋底抹點奶油,避免沾鍋.

補充: 星期日再做了一次,就大成功啦!!

2nd trial Waffle Cake! successful!

Banana Sesame Waffle Cake

Lisa's school sibling studied in the same graduate school in Japan, invited us go to her house for afternoon tea yesterday. Because this was the 1st time we went to her house, we'd better bring something. I decided make a waffle cake to share with everyone, although this was my 1st trial, every one loved it and kept saying delicious. It looked like not very pretty but taste good, I think I have the talent of cooking...:)

How to make a waffle cake
Waffle powder 200g
Milk 150cc
Egg 1

Mix all of the above well and put it into rice cooker for 30 minutes, then it's done. If you want to make the banana flavor, you just add banana. The one I made yesterday, I put 2 bananas and some sea some and dry grapes. If your rice cooker is not good, better put some butter on the bottom of pot.
