#tom yum fried rice

[thenamesnotatallrelevant]

The Affliction of Bong

I never knew a literal pain-in-the-ass food until I encountered one in my recent foreign trip. After touring into certain beautiful spots surrounding the famed MBS, we went to a certain food court (I can no longer remember what specific place) to have dinner. We all felt tired and hungry, very hungry that nothing but a good gastronomic treat is fitting to cap off the tiring but otherwise kickass…

Tom Yum Fried Rice (Nasi Goreng Tom Yam)

It's been a while since I posted here so the first thing I'm posting is a recipe lmaooo. Since the Notes app in my phone is getting too messy for my liking, I guess sharing the recipes here wouldn't hurt plus I get to ensure the recipes I used are never lost and forgotten (by me lah sebab I jenis senang lupa). This recipe is adapted from Marion's Kitchen Tom Yum Fried Rice so go to the link in case my wording here gets confusing plus to refer to any number change. I tweaked a few parts because I found them to be tedious but I'll explain more on that in later parts. Here we go!

Ingredients serves: 2-3

3 cups day-old cold rice

neutral oil

any choice of protein

1 egg

a few slices of galangal

1 lemongrass (bruised, cut into big pieces)

2-3 lime leaves (chopped)

1 small onion (diced)

1 tomato (diced/sliced)

1 tbsp nam prik pao/tom yum paste

1 tbsp fish sauce

1 tbsp soy sauce

a pinch of sugar

a squeeze of lime juice

Steps

Pound a few slices of galangal to a paste before adding the chillies to the paste. Pound the mix until fine.

Heat some vegetable oil in a large frying pan. Add the galangal + chillies paste, lemongrass, lime leaves and diced onions. Stir fry for 20 seconds or until onions turn translucent.

Add protein of choice (chicken, prawn etc.) to the pan and stir until cooked.

Add egg and let it set before breaking up the egg to chunks, similar to scrambled eggs. You can omit the egg here if you want, I usually omit it if I want pair the fried rice with a fried egg but heck, do both if you want haha!

Add tomato and sauce condiments; nam prik pao, fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and lime juice. Mix well all ingredients in pan. I like to make sure the tomato have been cooked soft.

Add the day-old rice and stir fry everything until rice is evenly coated.

Turn off heat and serve.

🍥 Tom Yum Fried Rice

🍔YouTube || 🍟Reddit

[moonspower]

✨ spoons and knives, the smell of lemongrass on your hands.

love is stored in the kitchen… a few things virote would cook for someone if they were at his haus:

lo mai gai / chinese sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf.

gaeng som pla / basically a bowl of orange juice set on fire. sour curry with bamboo shoots, papaya, and pineapple.

kua kling / southern thai dry curry with pork, beef, or chicken. no coconut sweetness like many thai curries, so it’s extra spicy. begins with a spicy kick and ends with a trace of lime.

xiaolongbao / soup dumplings… end of…!

shanxi gan mianpi / cold noodles. vinegar, hot chili oil, salt, garlic, bean sprouts.

khao phat nam phrik narok / name literally means rice fried with chili paste from hell !!!  very spicy chili paste made with fried catfish, grilled onion and garlic, grilled dried chili peppers, sugar, fish sauce, and shrimp paste.

tom khlong / similar to the well known tom yum..... isn’t sour from lime, but sour from tamarind juice.

also BUTTERFLY PEA TEA he loves making that for others look at how beautiful it is this color is natural too.

[reimenaashelyee]

Which do you prefer nasi lemak, mi goreng, tom yum goong or chow mien?

Why this question suddenly? If I had to pick, it'd be nasi lemak cos I love that coconut rice and egg and Malay fried chicken combo.

[philologique]

@galauvant happy new year!! may it bring you many ready-to-eat snacks and ingredients for thai home cooking

here's a little shopping list of some things i recommend getting if you go there:

oishi green tea kyoho grape with nata de coco: the first time i saw people drink this mid-romantic scene in a thai bl it was a bit jarring, but that was only because i hadn't tried it before. it's so lovely; i could write sonnets about it.

golden mountain seasoning sauce: you can get it elsewhere but they sell a liter of it for like $5, which is very worth it if you make garlic noodles or any thai stir fries regularly

dragonfly brand black soy sauce: for pad see ew! (the one with the orange cap. if you don't anticipate using it much, honestly you could probably up the soy sauce/add chinese black soy sauce and add a very small amount of molasses?)

ABC brand sweet soy sauce: a common malay and indonesian condiment. this is way too sweet for me but i had a roommate who put it on everything and felt like i should mention that they sell it!

big bags of glutinous rice for way less than you'd pay anywhere else

BAMBOO CONE STEAMER (หวด). THIS WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE IF YOU LIKE STICKY RICE. it's like $6 if you have a pot that it will fit in, and still under $20 if you need to buy a pot to go with it. it is impossible to mess up sticky rice using this method. there is literally zero measuring required and it gives the rice such a nice fragrance. i've been able to make mango sticky rice on a whim every time i've seen a good deal on good mangoes the last couple of years and this is why. here is a video on how to make sticky rice with it! and here is a mango sticky rice recipe i use as a template. for 1 cup uncooked sticky rice i use one 8.5oz carton of aroy d coconut milk to ½ cup sugar and 1 tsp salt, then reserve a scant ½ cup of the dissolved coconut milk mixture for the sauce. (cornstarch works as a thickener if you don't have rice flour!)

frozen khanom thien (ขนมเทียน) there's a similar lao dessert called kanom nap, and a burmese dessert called mok phet thot. it's a steamed glutinous rice dumpling wrapped in banana leaves and filled with a caramelized shredded coconut/palm sugar filling! here are a handful of videos of people making it!

butterfly pea flowers: not cheap but i think still cheaper than i've seen them elsewhere?? relatedly! there is a thai restaurant on the UES that sells chor muang (ช่อม่วง). I think it was Thep on 75th and 2nd?? They're beautiful, interesting, and a pain to make, and I've never seen them on another restaurant menu.

frozen pandan leaves: not sure where else i would get them in nyc, although pretty much any SE asian grocery store will carry them.

makrut lime leaves: sometimes sold frozen, sometimes in a little ziploc bag in the refrigerated section. *girl scout cookie sales voice* they freeze well!

frozen galangal slices

fun lays flavors

nam prik pao (นำ้พริกเผา): if you don't eat shrimp, there's one vegetarian brand that uses dried shiitake mushroom for the savory element (Chua Hah Seng vegetarian chilli paste - นำ้พริกเผาฉั่วฮะเส็ง มังสวิรัติ)

palm sugar: available elsewhere, but usually more expensive

fresh/frozen coconut milk: worth trying at least once! it's also worth getting one or two shelf-stable cartons of coconut milk if you've only had canned before, but their prices aren't great—i usually get the 6- or 12-packs of 8.5 oz cartons of aroy d on amazon

they sell a little frozen tom yum veggie set with lemongrass, galangal, and lime leaves, which is nice if you're only planning to make it once or twice

sundried bananas (กล้วยตาก): they don't always carry these. sometimes they're vacuum packed; sometimes they have them in a little plastic clamshell container

If you're cooking for a vegetarian or someone with a shellfish allergy and looking at savory items, note that there are two words that get translated as "vegetarian," which are used somewhat interchangeably but strictly speaking mean different things—'je' (เจ) and 'mangsawirat' (มังสวิรัติ). เจ/je doesn't include onions, garlic and certain other vegetables. If you see something labeled as vegetarian curry paste, you'll want to check whether they just mean no shrimp paste, or no shrimp paste/garlic/shallots!! Items labeled as มังสวิรัติ/mangsawirat will not contain meat, shellfish, fish, or fish sauce, but can contain allium.

[annachum]

A typical dinner that I can see those Pocket Princesses can make if they cook a dinner for everyone else in that house ( these are just examples of what they may cook ) :

Southeast Asian Cuisine: Culinary Delights

Let’s go on a journey through Southeast Asian Cuisine, where each dish tells a story of tradition and flavor. This guide unveils the culinary treasures of Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, and beyond. Southeast Asia serves hundreds of culinary delights for those wanting to try new foods and experience different tastes. Exploring the diverse cuisine in Southeast Asia allows people to better understand the history and people of the region. So, if you’re considering visiting the area any time soon, there are certain dishes you certainly will want to take advantage of! Let’s jump in and look at the highlights of some of the essential dishes in the region.

A Foodie’s Journey Through Southeast Asian Cuisine

Indonesia 

Indonesian cuisine is less famous than other regions like Thailand or China internationally (a situation the Economist attributes to varying factors like politics and prejudice). But there are incredible dishes using rich, flavorful ingredients and spices. An Indonesian staple is rice. It may be served steamed, slightly cooked, or wrapped in leaves. Other popular foods include soup, noodles, and dishes like Nasi Goreng and Rendang.

Rendang is a traditional Indonesian dish originating from Padang. It consists of tenderized beef marinated in coconut milk and traditional species. It certainly is a favorite among people visiting the region. Other notable mentions include satay lilit in Bali. This is a grilled minced meat dish seasoned with chili, lime, and lemongrass. Siomay, a street snack consisting of fish dumplings, sliced potatoes, cabbage, and tofu, topped with a tasty peanut sauce is also great.

The Philippines

Filipino cuisine is more like a fusion of various cultures and influences from Malay, China, and Spain. Some of the more popular choices for those visiting the region include Lechon (roast pig), a staple in Cebu. Don’t miss out on chicken inasal (a charcoal-grilled chicken dish). If you have the chance, enjoy the authentic version in Bacolod. Other tasty meals include adobo (which is marinated meat), and morcon (made from beef, poor, sausages, onions and eggs).

If you’re visiting Davao, take advantage of the opportunities to try durian. There’s also numerous varieties of durian fruit (consisting of candies, cake, flavored coffee, and more). If you are looking for a new taste sensation, the Philippines is definitely the right choice for you.

Southeast Asian Cuisine – Thailand 

The history of Thai food interweaves ingredients and cooking methods from various cultures. The result is a culinary experience that attracts people from around the world. If you’re looking to participate in it, Thai street food is a perfect choice. While visiting, definitely don’t miss out on the roadside stalls where you can try out some delicious options like moo ping (grilled pork), tom yum goong (hot and sour shrimp), Khao man gai (chicken and rice), Khao niao mamuang (sticky rice), grilled skewers and Pad Thai. Head out early in the morning if you want a comforting bowl of jok, a rice porridge featuring pork topped with ginger and onions. Street food allows for a truly immersive experience for those visiting Thailand and wanting to get a unique taste of their culture. 

If you want to explore Thailand, remember that each city and region features something unique. In Chiang Mai, stop and enjoy Khao Soi, a curry soup made with coconut milk served over egg noodles and topped with layered crispy fried noodles. Heading to Northeastern Thailand? Try Som Tam, a mash of tasty vegetables, Larb, and Nam Toke, and salads of meat, rice, lime, and fish sauce. Staying in the central region of Thailand? Well, many describe Bangkok as a “”food lover’s paradise, ” so don’t miss out on everything the city has to offer. If you’re heading South to the beautiful islands, try Sataw (prawns with a unique flavor), Massaman curry, or Khua Kling.

Vietnam

Southeast Asian Cuisine and Vietnam! If you’re traveling in Vietnam, you’ll encounter a range of dishes and flavors that change from North to South. Those in Sagon enjoy bánh xèo (crispy pancakes) rolled with greens and dipped in sweet-and-sour fish sauce, while Hai An Cao Lau noodles are a popular snack. Don’t miss out on the fantastic street food options like banh mi (a sandwich featuring pickled vegetables, fresh cilantro, pork belly, pork floss, and cucumber) or pho (featuring flat rice noodles with beef or chicken cooked in a hearty stock, spiced with clove, and cinnamon and anise). 

Bánh Xèo, emerging from the Mekong Delta and popular in south and central Vietnam, features a batter made from coconut milk and rice. The filling contains pork, bean sprouts, and shrimp. If you still have room, try Che, a dessert sometimes served hot or cold and topped with fruits like bananas and longan. The unique combination of sauces, herbs, and spices creates a memorable experience that captures Vietnamese cuisine.

Singapore

We have to talk about Singapore if we are talking about Southeast Asian Cuisine. Singapore’s cuisine combines influences from China, Malay, and India. Some staples include Hainanese chicken rice and chili crab. Suppose you’re looking to check out some fine dining. In that case, several Michelin-star regional restaurants offer a promising taste sensation.

Laos

Laos’ amazing scenery and deep cultural legacy makes it a popular choice. The food is also worth trying out. Laotian cuisine is not as well known in the West. The dishes may seem simple, but it’s quite flavorful, frequently combining fermented pork and fish with chilies and fresh herbs (think mint, cilantro, makrut lime leaf, ginger, garlic, etc.).

Cambodia

When we talk about Southeast Asian Cuisine, we have to talk about Cambodia. The use of different herbs and spices, together with the addition of tropical fruits from the area, define the cuisine. The region’s most popular dishes include lok lak, a stir-fried beef dish; fish amok, which is fish made with banana leaves; and amok, a stew made with kroeung and fresh coconut milk. The cuisine of the area combines a variety of tastes, from spicy to sweet, to produce a flavor profile that is sure to please. You might want to try kangkep baob if you’re feeling more daring. It’s a frog that’s been roasted over hot coals packed with peanuts, chiles, pork, and different spices like garlic and lemongrass.

Southeast Asian Cuisine: A Feast for Foodies

Southeast Asian Cuisine is delicious. Whether you want to visit the numerous street vendors or immerse yourself in an exciting culinary experience by visiting a more upscale restaurant, you will be very content with Southeast Asian food. There are an infinite variety of flavors and dishes worth exploring. Hopefully, this article has pointed you toward some of the more popular ones you wouldn’t wouldn’t-would want to take advantage of. Also, please check my other article on Discovering the Wonders of Southeast Asia Travel: A Comprehensive Travel Guide.

And as always, don’t forget to follow to be in the loop. 👍

Best Food to Eat at Changi Village Hawker Centre.

If you find yourself on the east coast of Singapore, or are simply hunting down an area that offers a plethora (and variety) of different types of food, you’ll want to head to the Changi Village area. Not only is the super popular Changi Village Hawker Centre here where you’ll find an array of cuisines for super affordable prices, but there are many other eateries and cafes that are in close proximity, making things super convenient for an expedition of eating! 

From seafood to local favourites, foods from around the world and more!

1. In the mood for seafood?: Tekong Seafood Restaurant

Why is it whenever one is near the ocean, the idea of feasting on seafood sounds so appealing?! This is one of our personal favourites to visit around Changi for whenever our craving hits! Plus, all of their produce is caught fresh, on the daily, by local fisherman.

We recommend their Chili Crab (chef’s kiss), or we’ll usually order the Bamboo Clams in Vermicelli too. 

__

Stall number:  #01-03 

2. Favourites and the classics from around the world: Jacob’s Cafe 

This is one of those dining spots that simply can’t be missed when visiting the centre, especially if you’re feeling a wonderful, homely cooked meal, you know, comfort food! 

Their menu, in general, is really extensive, serving breakfast to dinner. There are western favourites, german classics, stews and curries, english-style pies, desserts and even a kids menu. Some of their signatures to try? You can’t go wrong with Oxtail Stew or try their Hainanese Braised Pork Knuckles. 

__

Stall number: #01-2049

3. Craving Malaysian food? (Open till 12am on weekends): Wing Kee Original Taste Ipoh Hor Fun

With borders still closed, if you’re used to frequently hopping over to Johor for your fix of Malaysian cuisine you’ll be happy to know there’s a local Malaysian stall inside and they serve up truly authentic dishes.  

They’re known for their Ho/Hor Fun (a homely meal made with meat (usually beef or chicken), veggies and chewy flat noodles, but their protein of choice is a delicious, deep-fried crispy and juicy chicken cutlet! 

__

Stall number: #01-19

4. Heading to a completely different side of the world: The French Stall 

When you think about french cuisine, two of the most popular thoughts are ‘fine-dining’ and ‘fancy’, am I right? 

Getting rid of stereotypes, enjoy bistro-style French classics from scallops to onion soup. We recommend checking out their Special 3-Course Sets, including duck and seafood options, which are really affordable and start at $43. 

P.s. They’re closed on Mondays. 

__

Stall number: #01-2051

5. There’s always a long waiting-line here for a reason…:  International Nasi Lemak

There’s something so more-ish about a good, fragrant coconut rice, and when it comes with a side of crispy fried chicken, it’s a pretty genius combination in my humble opinion. 

Nasi Lemak is another dish synonymous with Malaysia, and although you won’t get yours served on a pandan leaf here, it’s still a great pick to get your fix. Theirs is served with a fried egg, sambal and perfectly crisp ikan bilis (white anchovy).  

__

Stall number: #01-03 

6. The old name for Bangkok city: Pranakorn

Thai food has become one of the most well-known cuisines around the world, especially when it comes to street-food type fare! 

Tuck into all of the popular favourites, offered in a variety of proteins from chicken to prawns, they’ve got a long list of items to choose from. From Thai curry to your favourite tom yum, papaya salad, deep fried chicken wings and much, much more!  

__

Stall number: #01-2086 

7. The perfect snack: Mei Xiang Goreng Pisang (美香炸香蕉）

We’ve got to admit, we never leave Changi without grabbing one, or three,  of these perfectly crisp banana fritters…what we love about them most is that they’re not over-oily either, giving them that satisfying crunch. 

This is a great snack to munch on or quick filler in between meals, especially if you’re a fan of sweet and salty snacks/treats! 

__

Stall number: #01-51 

8. On the hunt for a spot inside the centre with a bit more ambience?: Little Island Brewing Company

You might want to consider this option, as unlike many of the hawker-stall type setups around, there are rows of picnic tables, benches and chairs set up as part of the microbrewery. 

Yup, here you’ll find a divine selection of craft beers, as well as a menu with something for everyone, from local classics to international favourites, light bites, seafood and morning. They serve from breakfast through to dinnertime. 

FYI. It’s located right beside Tekong Seafood (see #1). 

__

Stall number: #01-01/02

9. You might want to consider sharing a meal here..: Woon Woon Pek Beehoon

Just wait until you see how huge their bowls of seafood are here! 

They specialise in seafood bee hoon (which refers to white vermicelli noodles), with the options of prawn, sliced fish, scallops and even crayfish bee hoon! Or you can order their Seafood Platter! 

__

Stall number: #01-52 

10. Oysters for $5!: 坤記 Kun Kee

Straight to the point, Kun Kee specialises in two signature and loved Singaporean dishes in particular; oysters and carrot cake. 

You have the option of ordering either black or white carrot cake, which arrives perfectly golden with a generous helping of carrot inside the actual cake, or try their fried oysters or specialty oyster omelettes. Their oysters are fresh, juicy and again, they add a liberal amount of oysters to their omelette. 

__

Stall number: #01-47 

11. A super popular street food in Singapore: Jason’s Place 

Ah, the beloved satay and at Jason’s you’ll find skewered sticks in a variety of different meats and proteins. 

Try their Pork Belly satay sticks (pork belly is ideal for grilling, when the fatty bits turn extra crispy and charred), mutton sticks, chicken breasts, satay chicken wings, and even otak-otak (a Southeast Asian fish cake made from ground up fish meat filled with spices and wrapped in banana leaf).

__

Stall number: #01-54

12. The Armyboys favourite: Mei Lin Yin Pin i.e. Commando Jelly

Although the english name was never officially given by the store themselves, most locals refer to this sweet dessert spot as the commando jelly stall. 

The do serve red jelly dessert but there’s a story behind it actually, and somewhat of a local secret if you may…Located near Changi Village is an army camp and from way back when till now, whenever the army recruits come to Changi for a bite to eat, they always request the red jelly dessert, hence its name! 

__

Stall number: #01-2054

13. Halal desserts and treats: The Finest Tea Shop

Don’t let the name fool you, although they do serve divine teas here, including chai lattes, their speciality lies in delicious sweet baked treats, from cupcakes to meringues. 

But if you aren’t in the mood for something sweet, this cafe also sells savoury bites like smoked salmon sarmies, burgers, and more! 

__

Stall number: #01-2060

14. There’s a variety of traditional nasi dishes to choose from here: Mizzy Corner 

Operating since 1997, you can rest assured this kitchen knows what they’re doing when it comes to creating the perfect nasi lemak or nasi goreng. 

They use ultra-fragrant Jasmine rice in all of their dishes and they even offer Nasi Lemak bento sets. And if you’ve arrived with a group of friends, or a big appetite, we recommend ordering the Nasi Ambeng Dulang, which comes with an assortment of side dishes and is ideal for sharing! 

__

Stall number: #01-26

15. If you’ve arrived earlier in the daytime: Chock Full Of Beans

Or are looking for a weekend breakfast spot, grab a seat at this cutesy cafe, known for its drinks made into adorable characters…even pikachu! 

Apart from the (doremon) art lattes and fun foamy friends, there’s some delicious breakfast, brunch and even lunch options. We recommend the Eggs Benedict which is always a winner, or their Seafood Cheesy Omelette with Lobster Bisque!

__

Stall number: #01-2090

16. YeeeeHaaaa: des By ASTONS

Best put your cowboy boots on for this one, just kidding, but you may feel transported back to the era of westerns when cowboys still ruled barren lands (this is the theme here after all).  

Unsurprisingly they have a heavy focus on meats and proteins, but their true passion lies in steak…so if you love your red meat we’d suggest going with one of their ‘Legendary Steak’ options, like wagyu! There’s also chicken and seafood on the menu too. 

__

Stall number: #01-2001

17. All ingredients are fresh and homemade: Makan Melaka 

Cendol is one of those desserts that can literally be spotted all over Southeast Asia, from Singapore to Brunei, Vietnam to Thailand. 

Grab a bowl of the cold dessert, best eaten chilled, with typical green spaghetti jelly rands (made from rice flour) and here its topped with red beans, corn and pieces of durian fruit. Each ingredient is made by hand by the owner, even the palm sugar! 

FYI. It’s not as common to add coconut milk to cendol in Singapore and this spot is no different, so be surprised when you see it missing, it’s intentional! 

__

Stall number: #01-2046

18. Their hor fun is made with bitter gourd: Wong Hing Kitchenette

Surprisingly this is one of the only Chinese restaurants you’ll find inside the centre, and here they focus on Cantonese-style zi char. 

Although their menu isn’t extensive, they bring all the homey classics including hor fun (with sliced beef or fish) and other favourites such as Fried Black Pepper rice with salmon and Hong Kong style fried noodles. 

__

Stall number: #01-43

19. Lively and vibey: Hanamco

Not a hawker stall, this is actually a cocktail bar – although they do serve western and fusion-style food on their menu. 

Dubbing themselves as a ‘gastrobar’, they’re a popular spot for tourists and locals to grab a seat and watch the latest live sport matches happening globally, so if you’re looking for some peace and quiet, we suggest trying elsewhere. 

__

Stall number: #01-2045  As you can see there’s plenty of options to feast on, and something to suit all cravings. Do arrive with an empty stomach, trust us, you’ll regret it later if not!
