Sweet Treats

An array of sweetmeats, side dishes and snacks

The popular stall. See how long the table is! The stall owner has to add another table during the fasting month of Ramadhan.

Tako (corn syrup and jicama jelly wrapped in screwpine leaves)

Some sweetmeats, snacks and packedtogo dishes sold at a popular kuih (sweetmeats) stall nearby. There is an array of kuih (over 50 types!) and others such as bihun (vermicelli noodles), laksa, laksam (flat, broad rice noodles), mee (yellow noodles), keropok (crackers), pizza,etc.

The popular stall is owned by a friend's pensioner father, and has been in operation for a number of years already. Opening hours are from 2.30p.m.
6.30p.m. (Mondays Fridays). The most popular item is the pau (steamed buns) made by the stall owner's wife. I didn't get to take a picture as the buns were sold out. Hopefully, I'll be able to take a shot next week.

Hi:)

Pau is quite popular in Goa and Maharastra in India and it is eaten normally with bajji- a sort of potato masala. In Goa it is also stuffed with pork sausages.

The variety of colorful sweets makes my mouth water. You are really lucky.

Your lovely country is full of excellent sweets, delicious food and breathtaking scenery.

You are, ofcourse, your country’s cultural ambassador.

Have a good day :)

Hi Joseph,

I count my blessings everyday.

Thank you for your comment. You're too kind. :-)

Over here pau is usually stuffed with either kaya (coconut jam), red beans or minced meat.

You have a good day too! :-)
