Fish head noodle

Petaling Jaya -  After our morning meeting, Donny brought me to a famous Fish head noodle restaurant in a nondescript row of shophouse.  Some of the shophouse were into car repair and an undertaker shop was next to the restaurant.   By the time we left the restaurant, the place was pack with diners.

"mouse tail' noodle
The noodle which has a tail that looks like mouse-tail - Malaysians called it 'Loh See Fun'.  It's English name is 'Silver needle noodles".  A very popular noodle variety in Malaysia and Singapore.  In Singapore, we called it 'Mee Tai Bak'. The noodles are made from ground rice flour but sometimes with some added cornstarch to reduce breakage during frying.

Manila - Together with Albert, we took a calesa (horse drawn carriage used in Philippines) around Intramuros. Albert and Lesley Albert and I Intramuros is the oldest district and historic core of Manila.  The walled part of Manila was called intramuros, which is Latin for "within the walls"; districts beyond the walls are known as extramuros meaning outside the walls.  Construction of the defensive walls was started by the Spaniards in the late 16th century to protect the city from foreign invasions.   Guarding the old city is Fortaiago wich is located at the mouth of the river.

Cheong Guk Jang - fermented bean soup

Seoul - Lunch with Youngjin was at a traditional soup restaurant and it was crowded.   Youngjin asked me many times Cheonggukjang "ok", I said ok not knowing what to expect.  I have tried many weird and smelly good in Seoul, so I was very prepared.   My first time tasting Cheonggukjang and I like it. CheongGukJang 청국장 is fermented soybean soup aka Stinky soup.  Actually, I like fermented food and the smell does not put me off.   I like fermented food because of the many health benefits and also we have them here in Singapore - tempe, belachan, fermented bean curd (which I love with my porridge), chincaluk, etc.. very hot Cheonggukjang  I always buy danjang paste and bring home to make soup.  I understand that they are the same but the difference is Cheonggukjang beans are uncrushed and are fermented for a longer period of time.
