Foodgelicious (Part 2)

Yes, once again another topic of Foodgelicious!! Once again lets invite our judges. Let hear a clap for Mr. Ethan. He will be typing out Foodgelicious score on the Foodgelicious Meter. 
***Disclamir: All this crap about Foodgelicious meter is all made-up for fun :)*** 


1. Chang Mai Restaurant Food a.k.a OMG so FAST??
Oh yeah. A Thai restaurant that located not so far from my house (around 15 minutes driving) that cook out a lot of delicious food. Lets see what we have on the table. There you have "Squid steam with lime", "Coconut Milk Prawn", "Keng Som Fish", "Mix vegetables", "Pork Leg" & "Kam Heong Lala". The best part is that all these food are served after 10 minutes we ordered. At peak period (Thursday/Friday night) this restaurant will be fulled with customer and believe me when I said the food is served Fucking Fast. So if you have a hungry stomach that can withstand Spicy Thai Food, can come to "Chang Mai Restaurant" and try it out yourself. By the way, you can also enjoy weird food like "Volcano Chicken", "Fried BEE", "Pak Prik Eals", "Fried worm thingy", and lots more.


Foodgelicious Meter: 9/10
Good Side: Nice food. Fast services. Lots more.
Down Side: For visiter to travel themself into this area is hard cause the road was kinda scary like you might not believe there is restaurants inside. (around 3 thai restaurant in that area)



2. Kao Jam a.k.a Green Rice
Also a type of Thai Food, sorry about the mistake on earlier post said that this is originated by Malays. (Thanks to Qian on pointing me out). This type of food is easily made by mixing Fish bits, Veges, Onion, Chili, Budu, and also some fried coconut's powder into your green rice. And there you will have it "Kao Jam". Oh to make the green rice, we usually add in green juices (that comes in bottle that are juices pressed from some leaves that I dun have any idea what it called) instead of plain water in the cooking rice process. To enhanced the taste of this dish, you can eat with fried fish crackers.

Foodgelicious Meter: 9/10
Nothing much to add on caused I already write a whole post about this Kao Jam sometime in October.


3. Indian Rice a.k.a Meena Curry 
Yeah, Indian rice. This whole set of indian rice taste nice :) I just ate it yesterday night with my friends. Simple right? Rice + curry and some bean sprouts (taugeh) and some chicken. But now the economy is bad and this simple indian curry rice are expensive :(  


Foodgelicious Meter: 5.5/10
It in the okok zone. But I wonder will I ever have a Freaking Delicious Indian Rice? Cause I look spicy food and this type of food just suit me well.



4. Budu a.k.a Rotten Fish Juices
Every one at Kelantan also know what is "Budu". Mostly likes it, but some dislikes them for their dirty apearances. This is because Budu are made by ferment fish and salt. For more information about this wonderful juices, you can refer to Wikipedia. Just type in "Budu" and there you have it, a well explain definition of this juices. Back to main point, Budu can be enjoyed in various ways like the picture on top, or you can take Durian and eat it with rice plus budu. The taste is unexplainable, you should try it out yourself or you come my hometown I treat you this tasty dish.

Foodgelicious Meter: 8.5/10
Should try it! Dun be afraid of the rotten fish smell (nah dun have any smell) but you better dun watch the process making this juices or I scare you won't have the guts to try it anymore :)

By the way, Lets enjoy some more picture cause I am too damn free.

Foodgelicious

In today's topic: "Foodgelicious", I gonna introduce about some food that taste good or bad. In Ethanpedia, Foodgelicious means: "Food that are 2F :"Freaking Fu*king" delicious that are eatable and seldom see at your every day life". Lets have a look at some picture below and try to decide whether it is Foodgelicious or not.





1. Sweet Sour Crab a.k.a Icky Yucky Disgusting Pukey Crab Dish

As you can see this Brown Icky Yucky Disgusting Pukey dish is definitely not categorize in Food Paradise. Actually this dish taste quite nice :) Last few night, my family bring me to this old thai style restaurant and called this so called "Sweet Sour Crab". The Pukey substants is a result of Egg + Tomato. My family member all loved this food except me. Maybe is because of the pukey look, I didn't complain much and take a picture of this Wonderful Dish.

Ethan give this dish a score of 2/10 in Foodgelicious meter due to NICE appearances, small size crab and also blue color plate. (The blue color plus this brown color is sure awful)



2. Korean style steamboat a.k.a Free of Pork steamboat

This dish origin from Korea. It just a pot of plain water that you throw in everything to create this "One Pot of Wonder". Yes, a plain water steamboat. First you just need a pot that is not dirty and then you pour drinkable water into it and watch it boil. When the water is boil, use your finger to test whether it is at near 100 Celsius and after 1 minutes and your finger have no more feeling means the water is boil :) Then just throw in everything that you like to eat inside the Hot Pot. Er, if I am not mistaken we put in the red thingy that said to be good for eye sight (I dun have any idea what it called), Korean sea weed thingy, squid, all type of mushroom, pieces of evenly cut fish meat, Clam, Oyster and Veges. At first the soup taste like plain water, but at the second round, the soup taste very sweat, I think is because the juices/taste of the fish, clam, veges all mix inside the soup. Most important is this steamboat is non-oily, so it is good for those student that studies oversea and lazy to cook, now you got a new dish. Just throw everything inside a pot of plain water and there you have it, dinner for 5 days :)
Ethan give this dish a score of 8.5/10 in Foodgelicious meter because the first round just plain sucks, but it is easy to make and economical :)


3. Sushi a.k.a Homemade whatever you likey Sushi Roll
Hunger for Japanese Food? Why not try Ethan's Homemade Sushi Roll. It include everything you dream of having except abalone and sharkfin. Oh yeah, ever dream of you can wrap anything sushi roll? Believe me when I said you can wrap anything cause the wrapping is so big. My family used a piece of "Zi Cai" (dried seaweed) size 8" x 8" (eight times eight inches in size) to wrap up the stuffing. On the table, we have fried prawn (Tempura), fried squid ring, fried fish that already been slices into even pieces, veges, japanese rice that already plus some seasoning, tuna, raw salmon fish, little red egg, crab stick, cucumber, baby corn(small un-matured corn), small little octopus, and last but not least Wasabi. Ethan just like to put everything inside plus a tons of wasabi for the great feeling of sushi :) Ha ha
Ok, for this Dish Ethan give a score of 7/10 in Foodgelicious meter because it is expensive to make this stupid sushi roll and troublesome, why don't we just go to Sushi King and eat. But sadly said Kota Bharu (my hometown) dun have any nice Sushi shop, this is why we have Ethan's family homemade sushi roll.


4. Road side Cake house a.k.a the Black Shop
***Location: Unknown; Shop name: Unknown; Car plate: Unknown***
Oh yeah, dun be deceive by the look of the peacefully looked cake house. Last few days, my friends that still in secondary school (Form 6) parked their car here. Some of them driving so a total of 5 cars parked outside this shop and walked to school for some activity after yamcha at that shop. From 10 to 4 o clock like that, then afterward they go back wan to drive back home and guess what the shop owner do? He park his freaking car behind their car and told them to pay for the parking fees or else cannot claim their car cause that spot is "Private Property".The boys argue back said they got drink at his shop before go to school somemore. But what the heck, the shop owner dun care what can they do? As you can see this shop definitely does not have a sign or whatever that state out infront their shop that "YOU MUST PAY RM3 FOR AN HOUR PARKING HERE IN MY FREAKING PRIVATE PROPERTY" or a simple "For Customer Only" or "No Parking". Pity those boys, they didn't bring any money to pay the shop owner and one of the boys RAN home to ask money from his mother to pay the shop keeper RM18. Then RM18 x 5 = RM 90. Woot easy earning for the shop owner right? Haha... Not for long cause the boy's mom are going to report them and soon maybe you cannot see this shop anymore :) So that's why I took this picture to remind myself of this kind of stupid shop also exist. BTW the food and drink here SUCKS, this picture is taken around 10 p.m. (Yamcha Time) but as you can see only 1 car there. LOL

0.00002/10 on Foodgelicious Meter and 10/10 on Stupidity Meter :)

Yeah!! Finally I got Offer Letter from UNSW. I was waiting for this piece of digital mail for quite some time already, So long until I forget when. Anyway, last night while I was chatting and playing facebook, I noticed that I got 2 unread mail inside my hotmail. Then I began to wonder is it those stupid facebook mail that said whoever or whatever useless thingy that waste my time, but when I saw the sender is UNSW instate of Facebook, I crossed my finger and open it. With hope that UNSW accept me :) Guess what? Hell yeah~ I get accepted by UNSW already guys. Let hear some cheer! At that moment, I said to myself (not out loud) : " HoLY SH*T, WTF WTH OMG BLOodY HeLL, I got AccePTEd bY UnSW wiTH my CrapPy ReSulTs o.O ". 
The next thing I do except jumping and laughing is, Open the offer letter and check the payment required :) To make sure that the fees are not too expensive and compare with other AUS University price. After comparison, it seems that the price only differ around 2k Aus Dollar. 
Now I knew that I get accepted, a lot of questions like accommodation, Aus's Life came in my mind but what the heck? These things can be settle slowly cause I still have around 4 month at Malaysia    :) -smiley face-

HOT! hot! hot! Freaking HOT Weather

These few days weather are like SO so so So Freaking Hot man... Haiz..
I dunno about you guys but the weather here at my hometown, Kelantan are so damn hot. I read newspaper yesterday and saw that some area at the west side of Malaysia had been flooded. Oh my GOSH, why West side of Malaysia keep on raining while East side of Malaysia so bloody HOT???? Every time after work at factory, when I walk out of the office, my skin are screaming HOT. When I look up the sky, I can see "SOME" clouds but those clouds didn't manage to be blocking the Sun. The best part is when I enter the car. HOLY SHIT, can't even sit inside for 5 second, after starting up the car, I quickly jump out of the car. "Car = OVEN" If you think you can sit inside for 10 minutes plus close door plus off air con plus the bloody HEAT, I will give you 10 bucks IF you didn't die or melt inside.

Kao Jam (Green Rice)

Happy Halloween guys ^^ as usual halloween not popular here in Kelantan. You can hardly see any sign of Halloween here. But today my aunty cook a popular type of food at Kelantan called "Kao Jam" and I dare to said that it is the tastiest among other type of food at Kelantan. Here is a Picture of Kao Jam. Mmmmm... yummy ain't it?
The rice of "Kao Jam" is very special. The color of the rice is green, yeah GREEN. haha... last time i bring some friends from INTI to my hometown, they didn't even wanted to try this food out cause of the weird color. 
So this is basically the dining table of my house. As you can see we all use hand to eat this dish cause this dish is invented by Thai, plus the taste not same when you use spoon. I think is because dun have the taste of your sweaty hand and dirty finger nail, haha just kidding. Anyway we all need to wash hand before eat this, duuhhh.. Grown-up like to eat "Kao Jam" with the Green Chili (inside got fish meat). Oh ya, forgot to mention this "Kao JAm" dish is homemade :)
We basiccally include every thing inside our green rice and mix around to make "Kao Jam", but it is up to yourself either you want what vege or even PETAI (smelly bean, bluekkk). But I prefer my "Kao Jam" with a lot of onion. haha...
Then not to forgot to put in bits and pieces of fish meat in the left corner of the picture. Those are just every day's fried fish but remember to take out bones before tearing them to bits. See the right corner? The weird color soup you say? haha... "Budu" again... haha.. If you wondering what is "Budu", it is juice of fish. Hell yeah... You put fish inside a bottle and let it rot to become this juice. But must make sure no flies lay egg in it. Erm.. Yeah it is eatable.
Last but not least, my homemade Chili. Believe me when I said this Chili padi is FREAKING HOT!!!! Even me myself cannot put more than 2 spoon into my "Kao Jam". Oh yeah... then I need to drink 3 cup of water to cool things down. haha
When you got everything inside your dish. You mix everything around to make sure the taste is good. Say not too spicy on the left side or salty on the right side. And there you have it, "Kao Jam". Bon appétit


Remember to eat with fish crackers and with your hand.
