My parents came up to Penang as well and all the more reason to celebrate as they want my family to join in as well and therefore, it became the simple excuse for a sort of pot luck party at home!
Seafood starts with Shells (not A, B, C)
I always find this spiky thing creepy!
Neither one for clams either
Now another thing with shells, wanna guess?
Crabs, steamed or Peng in Hokkien
Aunt's Fried Chicken Wings
Dip it into their homemade chili sauce with garlic
These red chilies are really spicy!! Good to go with any of the food
Aunt's steamed red snapper in Teochew style...now this was really good!
Stir-fried vegetables, tasted really good when it was served hot!!
As for some energy providing carbs, another aunt's fried us some mee hoon and yellow noodles
It was truly quality food, erm, I meant.. time spent with the whole family!!
Eh I thought u are going to cook for us to have a "PRE" pot luck gathering ..... help you warm up your cooking utensils and pans. How come no invitation/location provided?

ReplyDeleteOMG you really made me hungry! Nothing beats homecooked meals! You really made me craving for those crabs and noodles...in fact the lots! Now, I'm away from Penang laaaa for few months :'-( The crabs here are all precooked and expensive... none as fresh as we can find in M'sia. Can you ask your aunts to share their recipes online???
