A Taste of Goji Angie of Sri Pinang has been harvesting her goji berries and brought them in for Uncle to try on his usual night at her K Rd eatery. Goji is the wonder berry. To taste them fresh is indeed special - a kind of sweetness that slowly morphs to a tartness that says this is a wonder berry. Angie says she makes tea from them, pops them in porridge, breakfast cereal, salads or whatever needs a flavour burst. Whatever is not used is frozen. After all there will be more berries to harvest tomorrow. The Claypot Rice is Uncle’s choice tonight, all resplendent with salty flavour bursts of crispy salted fish and Lup Cheong. Dining companion from Grey Lynn had Uncle’s other favourite, the Chicken Wonton Soup, freshly made and wrapped before being simmered in chicken stock. There’s Kway Teow in the soup. The Wonton Soup went down a treat. #gojiberries #thewonderberry #claypotchickenrice #chickenwontonsoup #sripinang #krd (at Sri Pinang) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7YJDohpR13/?igshid=1kw5f8qhlln1a

The usual Chicken Wonton Soup at Sri Pinang, K Rd. There is only one subject of conversation - the major fire at Sky City Convention Centre. The city skyline has a pall of dark smoke and the air is polluted. There are some diners at Sri Pinang who has walked from the city as the streets they live at have been closed. The Chicken Wonton Soup is exactly what Uncle wanted. It’s a constant, a comfort soup. #chickenwontonsoup #sripinang #kroad (at Sri Pinang) https://www.instagram.com/p/B36hOPfJI-X/?igshid=7jgq1wp104fh

“My Cup Runneth Over.” 2 of Uncle’s all-time favourites at Sri Pinang, K Road. • Hainanese Chicken Rice - the chicken tends to be over-poached but has hints of ginger and garlic. The rice, cocked in chicken stock is fragrant with ginger but the real star is the chilli dip, hot and sharp with ginger & garlic with a dash of Chinese vinegar. • Chicken Wonton Soup - made fresh by Chef Khun as per your order. The wantan skin is thin, the chicken mince well-seasoned as opposed to pork which has a tendency to “sao wei.” Cooked in a rich chicken stock, the soup is finished off with deep-fried shallot & garlic. The wonton goes well with pickled green chilli and a light soy. And so good to have the time to talk to Angie, tonight she talks about her garden which sports goji berries, cherimoya, Jerusalem artichokes and even a flourishing pandan, illustrated by photos captured on her phone-camera. #hainanesechickenrice #chickenwontonsoup #madefresh #sripinang #kroad (at Sri Pinang) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2wKZ7mJxu6/?igshid=16z9ze7vempix

. 奥克兰，一个充满活力的都市。来来往往的人群，型型色色的小型杂货店和餐馆，给我个错觉，好像来到 Bukit Bintang！！Oh No！😱 . 让我这个刚从「不食人间烟火的南岛」来的小伙子，真的有很多点不习惯，哈哈。😄 幸好我只是来这里修养，不是旅行。 . 唯一感到欣慰的，找到了非常有马来西亚风味的餐馆 Sri Pinang，让我们这些离家一个月的游子能吃到「海南鸡饭」，「槟城虾面」，「炒粿条」，「罗面」，「Sambal 虾」，「Roti Canai」，「滑蛋河」等等，一解思乡之苦。。。😍 . 3天里，去了4次 Sri Pinang，看的出我们是多么的饥饿家乡菜，哈哈！也和老板娘 Angie 混的很熟，30年前和做厨师的先生一起来纽西兰打拼，他们煮食物的香料都精心挑选，有些还自己配制，难怪煮出来的食物这么有家乡味。当我吃下第一口炒粿条时，心情是多么的澎湃激动！😱 . 下次你们如有去奥克兰，记得来吃 Angie的家乡菜，包你满意！😉 . #sripinang #奥克兰 #吃的是感情 #家乡菜 (at Sri Pinang)
