What's the different in between?
Greetings and Hello my dear. How's life going? Today I wanted to share with you some ( i believe is first time posting ) about night market from Malaysia. So join me and let me show you around.
So this market just behind my house. Everything change since covid. And until now is seems like rather less seller if compare with 10 years ago ( what i remembered ).
Firstly I would like to introduce you this old school method snacks. Packed the same since 20 years ago until now. Memories of all 70-90s I can say.
Yes dim sum. Different from Thai a lot tbh. With ideally big chucks of meat steamed using bamboo made steamer. Who doesn't love it?
I found something familiar here. Will it taste the same like i always eat in Thai? Must try then i guess.
Spicy lover must try. Meet the Nasi Lemak. National dish from Malaysia. Rice cook with coconut milk with tones and herbs curry side dish for you to choose from. From Chicken to meat to fish and beef and also lamb. Why not right?
In Thai we called these Lok Chin. Hmm looks like less variant if compare to Thai right. But hey they have fried tofu.
The only stall with long que. Soy milk. I bet is surely good at this point.
Satay anyone?
Popiah. Soft skin wrapped with side dishes.
Yes dumpling aka Bak Chang. Sticky rice with ingrediant, wrap with banana leaf and steam.
Meet the pancake from Malaysia. Big one is thick and fluffy and small one is crispy. Both coated with smashed nuts and butter.
I will do more about Malaysia street food in coming series if you like. Do tell me about what you wish to see. Until then. See ya and take care. Sawadee khrup.
I used to steal money from my dad and sneak out from the house to attend night market 😄
Prepacked biscuit seller, started in the 90s become like this. Save time and to make sure the biscuit doesn't get soft. Back in the 80s, it's a van full of steel containers. Whichever you need, he open the can and scope for you, live action.
Dim sum in the 90s still limited to several dishes. Sticky rice being the main, followed by BBQ bun, steam bun, big bun, red bean bun, kaya bun, minced meat roll, but that's all. Now.... Too colorful 🤣
The Lok Chin you mentioned, it's called LoBak here. It's always been like this, for Thai people this is "limited" choice, but this is already more variety compared to older days before Taiwanese sausage became a thang here. Imagine the first time I visited the night market at Hatyai when I saw your Lok Chin 😮
Lastly, the Pancake is called Apam Balik. Traditionally, the chef will make the pancake, when it's almost done, add roasted peanut crumbs and a layer of course sugar before folding it. That way, when we bite the pancake, the sugar bits will explode together with the peanuts in the mouth 🤣 later more "flavor" being introduced, such as chocolate, corn, kaya, butter, fruit spreads etc.
Yes yes you're right. The steel containers, i remember that especially the sound when they open it. Haha I get you're point there. Apam Balik is the same like Apong? No right?
It's the same thing. Local Chinese people couldn't care to speak the whole name, and many can't even spell from A - Z, it's possible this has been misheard from APAM to Apong.
Ah I see. Ok got it 😄😄
I wasn't alive in the 80s or 90s but I can still remember when they pack those snacks in packages like that. I think my favorite snack is probably the pineapple filling cookie thing. I love eating lok chin, in Cambodia we called it Brahet.
I learned something new. Brahet. Thank you for sharing sis. My favourite is the chocolate filling biscuit long shape like cigratte.
Giving your comment a little boost because such an awesome post is undervalued. Keep up the good work my friend.
