*** Lotus Roots Desserts ***

My friend sent me a photo of the lotus root stuffed with glutinous rice dessert that my friend made. I used to eat this lotus root dessert when as a child.

From online:
"Glutinous rice stuffed lotus root, commonly known in Chinese as Nuo Mi Ou (糯米藕) or Honey Lotus Root, is a traditional dessert made of tender lotus root slices filled with sweet, sticky rice and smothered in a fragrant, dark sugar syrup. It is often served cold or at room temperature, particularly during festive occasions like the Mid-Autumn Festival or Chinese New Year, symbolizing unity and prosperity.

Osmanthus syrup or honey is frequently drizzled on top before serving for a floral aroma."

I have not seen the ready product being sold here. Need to buy from overseas.

Lian Ou Hua Sheng Soup

 

On Tuesday 3 November 2020 d231, I woke up to see a message on my hp from the lady who sells rice dishes in Lucky Alley coffee shop. She wrote "Tomorrow have lian ou hua sheng soup". My plan is to stay home for the whole week days and grab food once the food bought on Sunday has been cleared but after reading this message which was sent at 11.48 pm on Monday night, I decided to go out to buy takeaway from her since she made the effort to send me a message.

This is the Lotus Root Peanuts Pork Soup that I bought from her. Very flavourful because she put dates and dried squid in the soup too. Tasty! I also bought zhar yuk muk ye rice and salty steamed chicken rice from her. Total price for all three rice packs is MYR 26 nett. Since we are out, we also bought food from choy Kee and sweet Heng coffee shops to last us the whole weekdays until Friday.


My vege eaten during lunch.

Lunch shared by two pax - zhar yuk muk ye rice. The zhar yuk aka deep fried pork belly has been marinated in nam Yee so it is very tasty, one of our favourite dish.


Breakfast shared by two pax. Seafood meehoon MYR 8 nett bought from Choy Kee coffee shop.

Dinner shared by two pax. Chicken feet mushroom noodles MYR 7 nett bought from Sweet Heng coffee shop. We put the remaining char siew from Sunday into this noodle dish too.
