A super quick one as MP was already late for his activity. Er, if you didn't notice with the extra large chilli, this bento is for me. Could have added some picks, baran or even faces to make it 'cuter' or even an extra tau-fu-pok to turn it into a butterfly (maybe) but NO TIME - rush, pack, GONE!!
In this bento - Yong tau foo, kim chi, korean seaweed side dish, another korean anchovies and peanut side dish with mangoes for dessert. There is a Korean grocery shop in Desa Sri Hartamas called 'Lotte' (how original huh?) - they sell fresh homemade kim chi and its shiokadilicious!! Its quite spicy too with a slightly heavy garlic flavour - I just love it!!! :)
HEAPS better than the poorly made kim chi sold in pasar malam which taste SUPER vinegar sour and also the cabbage doesn't taste that fresh, pre-cut into small bits unlike the one I got in Lotte which is packed whole with the heart (well if you get the smaller tub then it might be cut in the centre into quarters but still 'whole' - much better presentation).
*How not to get cravings for Korean food especially watching the actors stuff their face in all situations and nodding so appreciatively the great taste!! Talk about effective food commercials, they do it so well and naturally - ha ha*

Aww... kimchi, I always gotta standby 1 box in my fridge, addicted like u too. Especially adding into instant noodle, tasted so good & healthy, or as u said shiokadelicious!
hey Kel, where u get your stash of kimchi from? haven't tried it with noodles yet but can imagine it taste super great (oooo drooling already) ha ha ha
Looks delicious! What is the chili stuffed with?
Susan, the chili is stuffed with fish paste and then lightly pan fried. This dish is called 'Yong Tau Foo', another Chinese dish whereby various vegetables are stuffed with minced fish or meat paste eg. ladies fingers, bitter goured, chili, brinjals, fried bean curd skin, bean curd (the firm kind) etc.
nice combination of dishes... doesn't really looked korean, typical msian here also likes it :D
I usually got mine from supermarket-lah, those in container, good enough to ease my additive ;p
Susan, fyi, the 'yong tau foo' is a famous Hakka dish, most Cantonese 'tim sam' restaurants serve similar dishes, but the chili version is Malaysian invention.
