Day 4: Thursday, 23rd May 2013
Holla once again! Woke up very late today since there wasn't any activity. I called 7 of my friends over for lunch at my place. Since they said that they wanted to try "Curry Dabel" also known as "Curry Devil" (which isn't really the same meaning), my mom and aunt decided to cook and prepare lunch for us.
We walked to my place since it was not far from the Limkokwing campus. But the weather was so hot it felt like we've been walking forever. Lunch was already ready when we got here! =)
"Curry Dabel"! The famous Portuguese cuisine! It is a spicy dish cooked with chicken,potatoes, spices and sometimes cabbages can be added in as well. The last touch for this dish is the vinegar. And if you keep it for a day or two, it'll taste even better! This dish is normally eaten with either rice or bread.
"Curry Dabel" is ready to be served! =)
We made Ribena juice in a big container.
Look at the amout of rice!
Lunch served on the dining table.
From left to right: Curry Dabel, fried omelette, rice, fried fish and Chicken Sambal.
The Chicken Sambal is also a Portuguese cuisine. 'Ayam kampung' cooked with dry sambal.
It was a superb feast! My friends said that they had a really good meal at my place. And it was a fortunate that they love eating spicy food. It was their first time trying Curry Dabel and they loved it! I'm glad they did as well! Like I said, it's always good to try new food. You'll get to know what are other cultures like. This recipe is handed down from the Portuguese generations
Curry Dabel is a special dish that is also served in all of the seafood restaurants at the Coconut Island, Potuguese Settlement. A bowl of Curry Dabel can cost about RM12-15. Try it out at the seafood restaurants here. You won't regret it! Or maybe drop by over at my place! =)
Location of Portuguese Settlement where you can find lots of seafood restaurants in Coconut Island.
