Stink Beans again

The petai was just right. Crunchy with the little stinky taste you get when you chew it. Unfortunately that was all that was GOOD. The rice was salty and by the time I got midway through the dinner, I was inwardly making funny faces to self. Apart from the overpowering saltiness of this "petai fried rice" I cannot find anything else to write about it. I won't have this dish any more.

Stink beans

New name for petai. Found in a nyonya recipe book which I gave mum for mother's day. What an appropriate name for petai in English. I guess if you cannot find a new name just translate it into a description of what it smells like. Had an overdose of stink beans this week. Yuck! I'm staying away for a month at least. 

What we did this Sunday...

There's  this brilliant food court, tucked neatly away on the 2nd floor in Midvalley. It's just beside MACHINES. ( The lovely shop I bought the imac from ) And get this...it serves PETAI. I love it already. What's there not to like? Not too many folks around ...certainly less than the food court at KLCC...where folks with buggies tend to nick your toes with the wheels, and kids with ice-cream smeared faces and hands want to TOUCH you all the time. This was far quieter...and more enjoyable. 10/10 for taste. NO COMPLAINS
