Shrimp cracker & chapati

Steve很喜欢吃他做的goop (party mix snack)，我虽然也有吃一些，但我认为太咸，他却说不会。我常认为这里的食物、飲料都很甜或者食物很咸… 原来美国人跟马来人一样，喜欢甜甜的、咸咸的…

还好我也可以做马来西亞的snack – 炸蝦餅。这蝦餅是我二嫂做的，她给我一大包的干蝦餅帶来美国。当我在炸蝦餅时，Steve看着蝦餅在油鍋炸开，觉得这个snack很酷…对他来说，这是非常新奇的。炸好后，我给他吃一小块…他得趕快吃很多的東西来把他认为很臭的蝦味蓋去…哈哈…他是不吃海鲜的…

Steve在马来西亞吃过roti canai、chapati后，就很喜欢这类的食物，因为有他喜欢的配料 – 辣curry。昨天他就从这本cookbook，学做chapati…他说﹕”那些Indian到底是怎么翻打roti的…” 我们的晚餐就是chapati，我的是有煎蛋的…他的是要塗牛油及cinnamon 和细糖。

Steve loves the goop (party mix snack) very much. I could eat some but I thought it was too salty, even though he never thought so. I can’t eat foods here that are too sweet or salty… the Americans are the same as Malays: they love sweet and salty foods…

Luckily I also could make a Malaysian snack – fried shrimp crackers. These shrimp cakes were made by my sister-in-law, and she gave me a big package of them to bring to the US. When I was frying the shrimp cakes, Steve was interested to see them become shrimp crackers…the snack is so cool. I gave him a little piece of them after fried…he needed to eat some other things to get rid of the shrimp taste, which he thought bad…haha…he doesn’t like seafood…

Steve had roti canai and chapati while in Malaysia and he loves them very much, because they are served with sauce which he loves – spicy curry. Yesterday, he tried to learn to make chapatti from a cookbook. He said, ”how does the Indian guy make and turn a 'roti'…” Our dinner was the chapatti, which I had with fried egg…he had them with butter and cinnamon sugar.
