We were the driver that drove both uncle Hoe and auntie Anne back to Sungai Petani to visit my hubby's grandma which just celebrated her 100th birthday in June. And during this visit we were invited to join luncheon with hubby relatives and cousins.

FOOD THAT WE SAVOUR:
Stir fry Radix Notoginseng Leaf with garlic (田七菜)
The first time I came across this vegetables is from a vegetables stall in Cameron Highland. I never saw this kind of leafy vegetables before so I asked the auntie about it. Then she recommended me to buy it and just stir fry to eat. As an adventurous person in food, we decided to give this leaf a try.
Well...... we love the vegetable after we cooked it. But I hardly saw this in the market. So every time I went to Cameron Highland, I will search for the vegetable stalls for this.
This is the first try for all the relatives and cousins from my hubby side. As they never tried it before. It has a bit of bitterness in taste. But for us, we can accept it even my gal. As this leafy vegetable is very smooth in textures.
Hot Plate Sizzling Tofu
Black Pepper Spare Ribs
This black pepper spare ribs are one of the favourite dishes for them. As the spare ribs are really tender and juicy. Which is totally my gal type of dish. Actually for us, I did not really taste the black pepper on this spare ribs. But the tastes were awesome.
Lemon Chicken
Deep fried lotus root with salted eggs
This is one of the dishes that I want to try out. As I heard about this dishes not long ago. We love lotus root very much. We love it with the soup, stir fry and deep fried. But we never came across to deep fried it with the salted eggs.
Steam grouper with special sauce
The steam grouper is very fresh from the aquarium tank of the restaurant. The taste vice is not bad.
FoOd PaRaDiSe verdict:
This is the first time we savour their foods. Thanks for the lovely invitation from our relatives and cousins. Food was quite nice. This is another place to dine in at Sungai Petani, Kedah.
