making the fish paste was a bitch! pick the bones, slice the meat then mince them..urg! smelly!
When im done making the dough n boiled the lekor, while waiting for them to be dried in the low heat oven, I called home to speak to mom but she wasn't home, so i spoke to my little brother instead - so i proudly told him
" Im making keropok lekor lehhhhh"
and he replied
"ohhhh i bought those from pasar malam last night, wahhh so nice with the chili sauce, you got the chili sauce or nottttt????"
-_-
He loves to tease me with food that i love - but I felt like a donkey after spending all that effort n sweat and he told me cockily ohh i just bought it from pasar malam..........
well anyway....they turned out pretty good, erm back home u probably paid 3 or 4rm at pasar malam for the small portion we made.
cutting up the dried lekor ready to be deep fried
Darling did a pretty good job improvising the chili sauce using this super spicy vietnamese chili paste.
We were super happy and satisfied that night, watched a movie while chewing on crunchy keropok lekor! Maybe because is self made, so it tasted better than the pasar malam ones.. teehee!
