Delightful Delicacies

Share it Please
Hello lovelies~~




Here we are again with another post, with more news from Alexia and Mehdi! We've heard some interesting things from them ever since they decided to visit Johor during their free weekend. SO without further ado, heeeeere we go!


Here is Alexia and Mehdi, settled into their classmate's home in Simpang Renggam, Johor. You can see Alexia is wearing a black and red 'baju kurung', a traditional dress worn by Malaysians XD They planned to explore as much as they could, and let me tell you, they were NOT disappointed! Their classmate brought them to a pineapple field in Simpang Renggam, and they were quite amazed by the view.


Isnt it beautiful? They certainly thought so.


Oh, and we haven't even told you about the food they ate! Whislt their stay in Johor they tried a variety of food. So we'll list here the food they tried and enjoyed. First up is: Otak-otak!


Best way to describe this dish? Spiced ground fish wrapped in banana leaf. It is a delicacy in Indonesia, Singapore, and of course, Malaysia. Otak translates to 'brains' in English. You're probably thinking what I though when I first heard of it; why name a dish BRAINS? Well, apparently its squishy-soft texture is how the dish earned its name. Alexia and Mehdi found that little fact interesting.

Next up: Urap!


Steamed vegetables with grated coconut. This dish is originally from Indonesia, but its also eaten here in Malaysia too. Among the vegetables used are spinach, cabbage, and long beans. It seems that Alexia and Mehdi managed to try this particular dish before we did. We need to travel around Malaysia more often, and try these dishes!

Finally we have, Nasi Jagung! (Corn Rice)



Apparently this dish is tricky to make. Nonetheless, it is well worth it, as Alexia and Mehdi said although they haven't tasted anything like it, they did enjoy it. You heard that right, the foods just mentioned have each earned a stamp of approval from Alexia and Mehdi! Woot Woot~~


Well, that's all from us. We hope that our international friends will have more to share with us in future, so that we can share em' with you guys ;)
