‘Tis the season to eat Durian!

There are so many ways to eat Durians: like this Pengat Durian dish Ili made. SO so good, we kept going back for more! So we are sharing with you this easy recipe here.

Nyonya Fried Noodles “Ho Chiak!”

The Nyonya or Peranakan ladies typically serve this fried noodles dish during family gatherings and special occasions. The Nyonya kitchen chef will proudly carry to the dining table, a large platter of freshly fried noodles garnished with hard boiled eggs. A side accompaniment usually consists of freshly pounded sambal belacan and calamansi limes. Adults and children wait, anxiously but quietly to dig in. “Ho Chiak!” they will exclaim, much to delight of the Nyonya. Distinct ingredients of Malay and Chinese races marry in Peranakan cuisine, resulting in its own captivating taste.
