After boiling the eggs I had too munchkins hollering they hate eggs. So I mashed the eggs up, added some mayonaise, some Haleem Masala some chopped onions and some chile powder and some more onions. I spooned it onto slices of Mexican rusk toast and sprinkled chpped green onions all over it.

Pickled Cactus? I thought Malaysian cactus are only for decorating your table or garden....

So we would have two Malaysians on the space?

That was the large white fruit. Here they are called Tuna Blanco. They are not as sweet as the purple ones, but still very tasty. The taste of the white fruit reminds me of Honey dew melons but the texture is more like an apple full of ball bearings. The seeds are numerous and very hard, fortunately you just swallow them. Takes a little experience to learn to eat them without chipping your teeth on a seed.

Here is a picture of some common ones. You can see some are about the size of a large apple. these have been peeled. I had to peel mine and remove the spines. My fingers are still full of little tiny cactus needles. Next time I'll pay extra and buy peeled ones.

Most people eat the fruit fresh. But there are jellies made with them and a fantastic candy. The juice is boiled slowly to the sugar stage and it can then be shaped and hardens somewhat. It can be made to the texture of a hard candy or somewhat soft almost like a cookie texture.

The entire plant of the opuntia family is edible and any part can be eaten either raw or cooked. I love the large "leaves" actually pads. They can be sliced in strips and used like string beans or diced and scrambled with eggs. Can also be tossed raw into salads. Quite a versatile plant. but, so abundant here that most people consider it a weed and not worth eating. I was raising it where I was living. The neighbor next to me was constantly trying to kill it off in his pasture, We each thought the other was crazy.

Most of the times, I dont even know what the meaning of food in Malay...

I'll try my best translating...

 

[جوري]

lol when sis stated 'Do I have to translate' I was thinking ya'haaaaaaa

[north_malaysian]

Nasi Kerabu - plain rice coloured with blue colouring liquid (from a plant... I guess), served with shredded fish, cucumber, kacang panjang (yardlong bean), bunga kantan (etlingera elatior) and some unidentified herbal leaves.

Then budu (fermented anchovies) and chilli liquid are poured on the rice. When you want to eat it, you have to mix all of those ingredients with your hand...

the side dishes for Nasi Kerabu are fried fish, fish crackers, salted egg, grilled beef or solok lada (green peppers stuffed with shredded coconut and shredded fish meat)

 

[north_malaysian]

Kuih Ketayap - literally "Skullcap cake" - why it's called that? I dont know.

We Penangites only knew one kind of "Acar"... and you KLites calling it as "Acar Buah" (Fruity Acar)

We put prunes, raisins, dates, limes, some put lemons inside Acar (for non Malaysians, the pronouciation is "Aa-Chaar").

Usually we eat it with Briyani Rice... and it's also useful for Suhoor...as it's aroma can make your dull plain white rice smell deliciously.
