On Sunday 23.jun.2024, went to OUG morning market very early because he wanted to buy zaai choi aka vegetarian bean curd sheets products and vegetarian gluten products from a motorcycle stall 漢記齋菜. After that went to eat brunch at sun sea coffee shop at oug, buy pastries at juchaibao shop, buy cakes from Yuan Taste shop. Wanted to buy tea eggs but the shop is not opened yet because it was too early. Then went to Canton-Z jalan Perisa to buy siew yuk takeaway.

Vegetarian Chung

 

Vegetarian chung with two types of mushroom - lion's mane mushroom and Chinese black mushroom. Also has Mung bean,  1 small chestnut,  1 piece of vegetarian fake meat stewed brown for MYR 6.25 nett. Not that salty. Taste good for those who doesn't like porky taste in chung. Around 180 to 190 g.

The above Vegetarian chung has this label -Madam Ng. I believe the maker of the mushrooms vegetarian chung is Madam Ng.

This vegetarian chung weighs 200g and has black eye beans, half a chestnut and half a mushroom and 1 small thumb size vegetarian meat. Not that salty also. Tastes good.

Put all the vege into the broth.  Very fragrant vege.

*** Thu 28.1.21 Jamaican Fish Escovitch***

Ordered a small portion at MYR 39.90 Nett - golden snapper.

The fish was delivered all wrapped in aluminium foil.

Smokey whole fish.

The raw garnishing is provided in a separate box.

Pour all the garnishing on top and bon appetit! Must eat carefully due to the bones are present.

Vege Tofu vs Jamaican Food

Day 4 Friday 5.feb.21 of eating vege meals from www.pbhall.org and I got all 3 meals.

Meal C: Nasi Lemak - basmati rice in coconut milk; tempeh and peanuts in the small container; tofu masak merah in tomato onion cinnamon gravy; acar jelatah - pickled cucumber, pineapple, onion, red chili, garlic; and stirfry turmeric cauliflower, long bean, baby corn, and red carrot. Both of us shared this dish for lunch at 1.10 pm.

Meal B: Basmati rice; red spinach with red Chili; and tofu with baby tomatoes in lentil gravy. Portion is huge so I just ate a bowl and kept the remaining tofu lentil gravy and basmati rice in the fridge for the next day.

Meal A: barley as rice; cucumber onion dill herb salad; and potato, bean, corn, pumpkin, red carrot stew. Portion again is huge so I ate a bowl and kept the remaining in the fridge for the next day.

12.30 noon - This small portion from meal A is enough for me. I like the taste and bouncy texture of the round and plump barley.

12.40 noon - my portion from meal B. Like the red chili with red spinach.

*** Thursday 28.Jan.21 Jamaican Food ***

Back in January 2021, I saw this Jamaican food being advertised on insta and decided to give it a try since I have not eaten Jamaican food.

I bought 6 Jamaican dishes to try. Delivery fees is MYR 15 using Grab Express since the seller is located quite far away from my place. I will show each dish one by one each day.

The half chicken is served in an aluminium container with Jollof rice, fried plantains aka large bananas, spinach callalo, and half beetroot pickled egg. Can you spot the half beetroot pickled egg? Huge portion for only MYR 28.90 Nett. I only nibbled on each item to test the taste and gave the remaining food away.

1.30 pm - kept the breast meat in the fridge for another day. He ate the chicken thigh and drumstick - smokey wood taste. Chicken tastes fresh. 

I ate only the wing portion and after all these rich flavourful meat dishes, I yearn to eat lighter vege meals. Thus ended up buying the 24 vege meals for 11 days. That is the background story. Not because of wanting to eat clean before CNY gorging.

Vege Tofu meals vs flavourful chicken meal? I say eat a bit of both as both portions are huge! Doesn't need to be exclusive unless wanting to live a devoted vegan life.
