how to eat an ang ku kueh (2): Ang ku kueh is a traditional food that has been around for quite long oredi. ppl always eat it the same way...munching without much thot. from the ang ku kueh's point of view, do u think it enjoys being chewed so boringly like its predecessors? maybe it enjoys novel method instead? so i have decided to take a different approach towards ang ku kueh. something fresh, something different might produce some unexpected results. maybe i can put it into the grinder and drink it as ang ku kueh juice? maybe i can deep fry it and make it ang ku biscuit instead of ang ku kueh? in whichever way...i have oredi decided to adopt a different path this time around. its fresh for me, and perhaps for the ang ku kueh as well... But maybe all it'll think is that:"craps. its jus another one in line waiting to eat me up. who bothers about the approach?" but nonetheless...its something worth trying! hahas...afterall, the best cuisine are often tried and erred. let's enjoy the ang ku kueh without much sugar this time around.
the Ang ku kueh saga episode 2: opening the steamer, i stared hard at the ang ku kueh. it seems to have a special relationship wif me, and its screaming out to me, "Take me out!! its time to try a different cooking style! i'm not an ordinary ang ku kueh! u'll onli be degrading me if u continue heating me in this lousy steamer!" i came to my senses, in every sense of the word. took out the ang ku kueh carefully and put it into the grinder. "ice..it shld do the job", i thought. and i picked up some ice and was all prepared for some ang ku kueh ice-blended. (rationale: the ice might spoil the ang ku kueh which was supposed to be consumed warm, but wat if the ice brings out ANOTHER taste from the ang ku kueh? wat if this unorthodox method brings about the same level of satisfaction in the end? and since its jus but another ang ku kueh which cost only 60¢ in bengawan solo, there's not much risk in trying.) the grinder goes off.........grinding with no sign of regrets................
