Have you ever tried or had this fried "sukun"or bread fruits?. I love the texture of "sukun" fruit as the flesh is soft and tender. It basically has nearly similar taste like cassava/ tapioca but lighter and softer. It can be fried or steam. For fried sukun normally people mixed it with salt and turmeric . But fried sukun my version, I normally will add some curry powder with it. For steam, normally people will steam it with sugar. It's nice to eat it during breakfast or tea. Sukun is from a group of moracea like jackfruit. Last time it was easy to have it as it was grown at my home town' house backyard. During its season we were enjoying varies recipe from this sukun fruit, like sukun fritters made from a very ripe sukun, sukun crackers, fried sukun and steam sukun.

I love my mom's palm sugar and pandan jelly. Since I missed so much of those two types of jelly, so I decided to made an attempt to try make it by myself.

Today I invited my best friends, Malaysians that I first met when I arrived in Saigon 4 years ago. We became close friend ever since we spent time shopping for wet groceries at Ben Tanh market. Actually, we are 4 of us but one of us have left to Jakarta for good. They love my cooking and I'm the one who used to host lunch for them since I'm the only Muslim and can reasonably cook Malay food that they missed so much. That's include nasi lemak...he ..he.. But for today one of them missed the lontong so much and requested me to cook lontong for her. Since I'm moving to a new apartment soon, so I decided  to cook lunch and bid farewell to my current place with them. They used to come to my current place for "makan-makan" , chit chatting and  playing badminton, so this would be their last lunch at my current place before I move to a new apartment just across the highway.
