With
the festive Raya holiday coming right up, I decided to make a scrumptious snack
that is loved by many Malaysians. Our melting pot of culture allows us to grow
up with a plethora of choices in food. I grew up waiting for my neighborhood’s pasar malam to come once a week so I can
go and buy the array of street food at the pasar malam.
It
was such a treat because I can never wait to taste all the various flavours of
the assorted Malay, Chinese and Indian stalls selling their specialties. One
particular stall that I will surely visit is this makcik selling freshly fried
and piping hot cucur udang and cucur jagung. There is something deliciously
satisfying of strolling along the pasar malam and digging into a bag of small
balls of cucur, usually made with vegetables and prawns. Though the cucur is
always already good on its own, there is this must-have side of sweet chili
sauce that makes the cucur even more enticing.
Then
years goes on and when I learn to cook, my sister’s made from Indonesia shared
her recipe of Indonesia Bakwan with
me. Similar to our local cucur, the bakwan is also vegetable or prawn fritters.
To join the bandwagon of the coming Raya holidays, here’s my recipe of Cucur
Udang made with extra loves from LINGHAM’s Chili Sauce range.
I
used the LINGHAM’s Sriracha Sauce to
add extra kicks to my cucur udang and it turned out to be a bomb of flavours. The
pungent and spicy Sriracha sauce worked wonders on the flavour profile and is
very versatile to be added into a lot of dishes easily. The recipe is simple as
it just needs prep work in advance, mix all together and then fried when ready
to serve.
Finally
once fried, serve the cucur udang with your choices of any of LINGHAM’s Chili Sauce. I chose the LINGHAM’s Thai Chili Sauce because it
reminded me of my yesteryears favorite cucur udang served with a sweet chili
sauce.
Happy Cooking and Selamat Raya
Adilfitri in advance to Every One celebrating!

ReplyDeleteYIP KUM FOOK (MCA Gombak) was a very big mistake to expel monks from SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST TEMPLE in 2001, Buddhists still in remember that time, he and his thugs(gangsters) and 2 polices came to destroy(arrest) the Sangha in the Temple, and the devotees were very sad to hear it had applied
ReplyDeleteHow long, Buddhists cannot forget what happened in the SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST TEMPLE but YIP KUM FOOK how to live in the world, he damaged the Sangha or separated Sangha, which is a very big sin in Buddhist teachings. This Kamma, the earth will suck or swallow you (YIP KUM FOOK) like His Venerable Devatta on Buddha time
“you are a Buddhist and you are a lawyer, also a graduate, why don’t you know what is wrong or right, like us as ordinary people, we don’t have any graduates or degrees but we know about the good and the bad”

We are members of the Buddhist Temple in Taman Desa Jaya, Kepong, Kuala Lumpur and we have been issued membership by the president (DATUK YIP KUM FOOK), we are very sad because we are the foundation of this Temple
ReplyDeleteNow we can know who is always messing with people, and he always cheats money and women, he even uses Buddhism to find money.
Also, need to be careful with his brother-in-law (Simon Low Kok Meng) because he is a spy (CID) for DATUK YIP KUM FOOK and we will write some letters to AGONG SULTAN IBRAHIM IBN ALMARHUM SULTAN ISKANDAR as soon as possible.
From Jesmond Yap, Kepong Baru…Kuala Lumpur
If DATUK YIP KUM FOOK studied, he would know that a lawyer is a person who practices law. The role of a lawyer is very different, across different legal jurisdictions. A lawyer can be classified as an advocate, barrister, solicitor, canon lawyer, civil law notary, barrister, solicitor, law executive, and civil servant.
ReplyDeleteMinimum of 3Cs in SPM (or equivalent) Minimum of 2Es in A-Level or 2Cs in STPM (or equivalent) A recognised 3-year Law Degree with passes in 6 core subjects and graduated within 6 years of initial registration with the university.
Gaining knowledge in subjects such as psychology, sociology, or anthropology can provide insights into human behavior and societal dynamics that prove beneficial when interacting with clients and handling difficult legal matters. On a related note, foreign language skills can also be critically helpful.
We suspect him, maybe he is not going for subject law because he has never known the law, and he always cheated people
