I took these pictures of some food that also reminded me of some 70s and 80s nostalgia. They were the steamed nuts which were available before going to cinemas. I used to love to eat these. Steamed Kacang is available still in the markets nowadays. But somehow the tastes is somewhat different. Could it be the nuts they used? Perhaps our food is not as organically grown as in the past?
Look at the tea eggs. Have you tried them? I've not, as a matter of fact! But it smells really fragrant. There are alot of these in Taiwan and Hong Kong too. How does one cook these? I always think that boiling too long in the water will just toughen the eggs. But with herbs, I'm not that sure. I may try it one day, but gotta watch my cholestral level.. Do they have it elsewhere? I know Eu Yang Sang sells it in the shops too.
