Signature Snow Skin Mooncakes's filling and the skin is really interesting it.  They are not like the normal lotus paste or red bean paste or some mung bean paste.  They use like chocolate, cheese, strawberry and etc etc.  While the skin they incorporate fruits into it.  The most outstanding flavour is the Corn Snow Skin. It remind me of the corn sweet that i use to eat when I am young.

Kuching Food Festival 2014 - Part 4

And again tonight I accompany Yien to go to food festival.  We bump into Meen and Avril and then Marie and Eli came to join.  So we have more food to share tonight.

First stop is Durian feast. As usual I love the Durian Puff from this stall.  This is one of those few stall that is a must eat for me every year....

Their durian filled cupcakes also not bad...

Opposite my favourite durian puff stall is another durian  stall.  This stall sells durian pancakes.  This stall durian quality is not as good.  So the taste of the durian filling on all their product is so so only.

Choconana Chocolate Banana, the banner on top show some nasi beryani stall but they are selling chocolate banana....so deceiving. RLOL.  Banana dip into warm chocolate such a comfort food.  I love it.  The chocolate was not too sweet which is a good thing.

Amazeball! RLOL! When I was there on the first night this stall name has caught my eye...Amazeball I was just wondering what type of amazing ball they are selling.  It is RM10 per set is kind of expensive. For the sake of trying i bought one to share. It is 3 meat ball with Mashed Potato and top with red sauce.

Next is the pork chop bun.  Passing by this stall for the last few days.  I always wonder if I should try the Pork Chop Bun.  Today I decided to give it a go and there is no regret to it.  I love it!  I had my Pork Chop Bun with Onion Sauce and Cheese.  You can choose from few types of sauces.

Japanese Fried Ongiri, this is another stall that I have passby the last few night. Tonight I have one of their Fried Ongiri.  It was nyummy! Loving it!

Last but not least is the food that my friend bought and share with us,

Pandan Delight Thai Food

Japanese Pancake - Quite good

Veggie Tempura I like the spinach only.  I should nice this one is quite good

Egg Roll with taiwanese sausage.

Kuching Food Festival 2014 - Part 3 : Spanish Churros

This year another new things at Kuching Food Festival is Spanish Churros.  They are two stall advertise themself selling churros.

What is Churros?  Quoted from Wiki "A churro, sometimes referred to as a Spanish doughnut, is a fried-dough pastry—predominantly choux—based snack. Churros are popular in Spain, France, the Philippines, Portugal, Ibero-America and the United States. There are two types of churros in Spain, one which is thin (and sometimes knotted) and the other which is long and thick (porra). They are both normally eaten for breakfast dipped in hot chocolate or café con leche."  Basically is a type fried pastry from Spain.

The history of Churros is unclear.  There are 2 theory, first theory is that they were brought to Europe by the Portuguese.  Portuguese got the idea from China, they modified the culinary techniques of making "You Tiao". As they are unable to learn the skil of "pulling" the dough they modified into a star design.  That is how the Churrors get their signature shape.  Second theory is that the Churro was made by the Spanish Shepherds.  As the shepherds live high up on the mountain, get a fresh bakery goods is difficult.  Churros paste was easy to make and it can be fried in an open fire.

Back to Kuching Food Festival.  There is two stall selling the churros. The first stall nearer to the entrance.

Cinnamon Sugar Churros with Chocolate dip.

Cheese Churros. (Loving It)

Butterscotch Churros. (Loving It)

Honestly...this other stall I have mistaken putting up the stall picture as the first stall picture on my first part. As i didn't know that there were 2 stall selling Churros.

I plan to go to try the Churros at this stall tonight.  Cancel the plan after I see what their churros look like. RLOL.  Somebody posted on facebook the Churros that they got from this stall.

Errrrr......I wonder if they have search the internet for the recipe of Churros? or have they actually google the picture of churros?  This should be called crepe not churros.

Kuching Food Festival 2014 - Part 2 : The Salted Fish Bun Craze

There is 3 stall that selling Salted Fish Bun.  This craze is all because of a hong kong drama series "Gilded Chopsticks 食為奴".  Yesterday evening I did not get to try the salted fish bun so i went back today.  I went earlier today still there is a bit of queue at the most eye catching stall.

So this stall has very big banner showing the main actor of the movie with all the picture of emperor enjoying the bun.

I join the crowd queuing up to buy the bun. I bought 3 packet, each packet contain 3 pieces of bun and it cost RM5 per pack.  Happily got my bun after about 20 minute wait. While walking away from the stall i open up the bag and try to sniff if i can find the salted fish aroma, I can't find the aroma of the salted fish.  The taste of the bun has a very mild hint of salted fish aroma. 

I walk pass by Kim Bay stall I saw them selling Salted Fish Bun too, I have tried their Salted Fish Bun at their outlet the other day.  Their has a very strong salted fish aroma but the filling is lack of the taste of the salted fish.

While sitting down I was looking the surrounding stall and I saw another stall selling the Salted Fish Bun. This stall deco does not look impressive.

I bought 1 bun from this stall, no queue, 1 piece of bun is RM3. Is kind of expensive  I thought.  So I only buy 1 to try just in case it is not nice then I won't was so much. When I got my bun sniff into the paper bag, and YES! the aroma of the salted fish is so aromatic! Me, Marie and Eli shared a piece so we split the bun into 3.  When I bite into it and YES! I can taste the salted fish taste in the filling! I love it!

RLOL!! this is my 3rd day going to Kuching Food Festival.  Now I'm thinking of what to try tomorrow. :p
