馬來西亞榴槤 (Malaysia Durian)

說起馬來西亞榴槤,相信很多人也第一時間說貓山皇,其次是D24;其實在馬來西亞境內卻有很多品種,作者不在這裏逐一說,實在太多了,而每年也有新品種面世的。

When we are talking about malaysia durian, many people will say Mushang King or D24, however, there’re many different types of durian in Malaysia, and it will have new type of durian every year, so I don’t want to talk each individually here.

 

馬來西亞榴槤與泰國榴槤很不同,馬來西亞榴櫣由於是樹上成熟後,自動跌下,農夫才拾起來,所以味道濃厚,偏甜而帶酒香。而泰國榴櫣卻是在未熟之前,人手在樹上採摘下來後,放了好一段時間待成熟後才推出市面,因此味道偏淡,沒有太多香味吧。

What’s the different between Malaysia durian and Thailand one?  Practically, Malaysia one is fall down on the floor naturally when it’s matured, then farmers pick it up on the floor, so Malaysia durian is taste more fragrance, richer and sweetie with wine notes.  On the other hand, Thailand one is picked by hand on the tree when it’s still young and seated in somewhere to let it mature, then only sell in the market, so the taste is light with less fragrance.

 

在香港,要買到馬來西亞榴槤也有幾種途經,從果欄、榴槤專門店、大型超市或近年很流行的榴槤自助餐,但任何一個途經,在香港吃到的,是貴大約7-10倍的價錢。然而,如果讀者有時間,作者建議參加一些有提供住宿套餐的果園,除了任食不同品種的榴槤外,也有其他水果供應,價錢亦相宜。

There are few ways you ca find Malaysia durian in Hong Kong, from wholesale market, durian shop, large supermarket or even durian buffet, although it’s many ways to get it, but the price is around 7-10 times of Malaysia.  Therefore, I would like to suggest you to find some staying package within the garden that provided by farmers, this kind of packages not only provide durian buffet, but other fruits as well and the price are reasonable.

 

然而在馬來西亞當做的時候卻是通街也可以買到,好像今年,剛剛這個月才開始大做,所以這個月買榴槤是很便宜的,今年大約馬幣6x元/kg,而果肉也特別香甜。

When the right season, you can find all types of durian selling on the street.  This year, just starting durian season this month, and the price is around RM6x/kg, and it’s sweetie and fragrance.

 

要識別貓山皇,就是要看看其尾部,一定有星形在低部,外形為球形,每個大約1-2kg,  果肉是黃金色為好。

To recognize the real Mushang King durian, you can see the big star sign at the bottom, it’s round shape and around 1-2kg each, and the fruits are brown gold colour.

 

當然,吃過榴槤後,手上還留下很多味道,當地人教授一招,用榴櫣殼洗手 – 把殻放在水喉下,而手就放在殻的下面沖洗,就可以洗去味道;另外,吃榴槤後會燥熱,所以吃後最後喝杯鹽水或喝用榴槤殼煲過的水,就可以解燥熱。

After tasted durian, it will be so smelly on the hand, you can use the fruit shell, run under the tape water and wash your hand underneath the shell, the smell will gone.  On the other hand, after tasted durian, it may be too hot on our body, so you can either drink so salted water or drink some water which boiled using its shells, also can get rid of hot.

 

貓山皇低部有星形標記

 

靚的貓山皇,看上細小,卻很多瓣及多果肉

 

打開後,果肉要齊整

 

果肉要黃金色才是靚貓山皇

榴槤要雪凍才好吃啊

馬來西亞與香港買餸大不同 (Brief talk about different of grocery shopping between Malaysia and Hong Kong)

作者已經在馬來西亞生活了兩個月,但是暫時還沒有太多機會自行出外探索新事物,所以未能分享新食譜吧。 但是,在一些日常的食材購物,與香港很不同,今次談談一下。

I’m already living in Malaysia for 2 months, however, I’m still not able to go out individually to explore new things, so sorry that unable to share new recipes at the stage.  Although I can’t going out now, but still feeling some different about grocery shopping way between Malaysia and Hong Kong, so let’s talk some of it.

 

在香港,一般也在街市及超市買食材,雖然也有一些批發商會在美食節或工廠大廈以零售方式發售,但美食節只是一年一度,而工廠大廈的商舖不是真的太方便吧。 但在馬來西亞除了街市及超市外,還有很多途經可以買到平、靚、正的食材,因為有不少流動小販,以美食車的形式在不同地方販買,所以也買到新鮮食材;另外,由於馬來西亞有本地出產的食材,所有肉類及蔬果也可以找到負責人直接從農場賣買,只需要使用不同的手機通訊軟件下訂單,就可以新鮮地從農場直接送到府上。 亦有不少好像作者一樣喜歡自家製作食物,上載到社交網,就可以進行網上銷售。

Generally, we usually go to wet market and supermarket to buy our groceries and food in Hong Kong, although you can still buy some food in reasonable price in food festivals and from wholesale companies, but food festivals only open once a year and even some wholesale companies got open their retail shop, however, the location is not easy to reach.  But, in Malaysia, there are many ways you can buy food and groceries anywhere like food trucks, still can find fresh food there.  On the other hand,  there are many local foods that grow and raise in Malaysia, so you are buy meats and veggies directly from farms, only order from social apps, then deliver to your door step; some people like me, love to make own food, also can sell it online as well.

 

至於進口食材,馬來西亞就沒有香港這麼多選擇,急凍海鮮以日本為主,批發商一般有零售店,以很便宜的價錢就可以買到;此外,也可以在夜市買到便宜的外國及本地生果吧。

For the imported food, there are not much choice in Malaysia, but many Japanese seafood wholesale store here, so you can buy very reasonable frozen seafood.  Also, you can easy to buy imported fruits in night market with very very good price too.

 

馬來西亞一般來說,所有的進口食材也比香港便宜得多,例如 :日本紫薯 – 香港要在大型超市才買到,而價錢卻很貴,但在馬來西亞,夜市已經有售賣,馬幣10元/kg (港幣18元), 真的很便宜,對不?

In general, all imported food are much cheaper than Hong Kong, i.e. Japanese purple sweet potato, you can only find in large supermarket in Hong Kong and the price is so so expensive, but here, in Malaysia, you can easy to find in night market which is only RM10/kg (around HK$18).

 

而本地食材,真的平得不能相信,一包小蕃茄只是馬幣2元 (港幣 3.7元),本地沙律菜包也是馬幣7元(港幣13元);作者找到本地有機豬農場,買來7kg有機豬腩肉,也只是馬幣210元 (港幣385元)。

For the local food, for Hong Kong people, really unbelievable price, a small pack of cherry tomato, it’s only RM2 (around HK$3.7), local salad mix pack only RM7 (HK$13).  I have also found a local organic pig too, I bought 7kg of pork belly, it’s only RM210(HK$385) and deliver to your door step.

 

所以作者幸運地可以在馬來西亞生活,見識什麼叫合理價錢,不像香港那樣,已經經過很多層批發及代理,才到我們手中,所以所有產品也貴得不能接受吧。

I’m now so thankful that I’m living in Malaysia, and understand what’s reasonable price of food, it’s not like Hong Kong, it’s all imported which was passed hand in hand for several agents and companies, then only sell the product in market, so we are buying a very very expensive food and products that totally unacceptable.

 

日本水蜜桃及日本梨,還比香港果欄便宜 (Japanese peach and pear, it’s cheaper than Hong Kong wholesale fruits store)

 

在夜市買來的日本紫薯,RM10/kg (Japanese purple sweet potato from night market)

 

本地走地雞蛋,馬幣0.6元一隻 (local free-range egg, only RM0.6/pc)

 

本地有機豬扒,這件咁大件都只係馬幣34元 (local organic pork loin, only RM34)

 

本地有機豬腩肉,新鮮由農場到府上 (local organic pork belly, delivery to door step)

先說說作者的情況。 作者與愛人在香港結婚已有好一段長時間,而婚後就選擇在香港居住,然而在馬來西亞卻沒有做任何事情,所以作者一直也沒有理會馬來西亞這邊的政策。 今年由於家事問題,決定與愛人回流馬來西亞,這才真正了解其手續及程序。

  • 香港結婚證書之正本及副本,結婚相片

把所有文件交給政府官員待核實及等待審批居留期限,一般審批為5-9個工作天,自行致電及查詢審批結果。

馬來西亞怡保美食 (三)

怡保實在太多美食,真的不能盡錄,有時間的話,作者也會一間一間地去試食,試過好吃的,也不定期隔一段時間就推介給大家,由於每個人的口味也不同,希望各位喜歡吧。

 

豬多宝 The Champ Kitchen Ipoh

地址 :8, Jalan Seenivasagam, Kampung Jawa, Ipoh, Perak 30450

Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/thechampkitchenipoh/

個人消費 : RM36

 

這間是專門吃滷水元蹄的食店,店主已是第四代,由祖先從廣州來到怡保,所以這店仍保留舊式廣東滷水的味道。另外,有時也有特別的甜品(例如:榴連雪糕),不在餐牌中,請到時問店員。

 

長江白咖啡茶舖

地址 : 8, Lebuh Pegoh Timur 8, Taman Lapangan Ria, 31650 Ipoh. Perak.

facebook : https://www.facebook.com/changjiangwhitecoffee/

個人消費 : RM18

 

這問是怡保老字號白咖啡茶舖之一,有些成為連鎖式經營後質素卻下降,然而這間仍保留舊有的風味。 作者建議食最傳統的咖央燒麵包及咖央蒸麵包,當然有最正宗的怡保白咖啡吧。

 

 

Olijiasca Nourishment Cafe

地址 : 17 Jalan Raja Dr Nazrin Shah (Jln Gopeng), Ipoh, Perak 30250

Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/Olijasca-Nourishment-Cafe-1176297935732111/

馬來西亞怡保美食 (二)

今次作者外出用餐時間不多,但大多也是在怡保比較高級的餐廳,適合香港人去的,但價錢卻是香港三分一至一半的價錢,肯定大家笑著出來吧。

 

Ninety One Coffee & Dessert

地址 : 91 Jalan Raja Dihilir, Ipoh, Perak 30350

facebook : https://www.facebook.com/theficcascafe/

個人消費 : 約RM15

 

這間cafe的咖啡很創新,用咖啡加入不同的飲法,例如 : 檸樂咖啡。亦有單品咖啡享用,店內的甜品及包點是自家烘培的。

 

 

STG Tea House Cafe

地址 :2, Jalan Taman Kinta, Taman Chateau, Ipoh, Perak 30250

下午茶個人消費 : 約RM30

晚餐個人消費 : 約RM60

 

這間tea house不但裝潢高級,食物水準也一流,作者很喜歡這間餐廳,還去了兩次,一次在中午,另一次是晚上,下午的afternoon tea 只是RM58兩個人,連2壺茶或咖啡,在香港這樣的afternoon tea最少也要港40元吧。 另外,晚餐方面,因為作者當晚是馬來西亞人新年,所以只供應特別菜單,比平日價錢貴一些,但當晚作者與家人一行8人,點了4個湯、7個主菜、3個甜品及3壺茶,總數也是約港幣850元,所以平日的日子應該會更便宜的。

 

今次只是介紹兩間吧,作者將會跟隨愛人回流馬來西亞,所以當作者發現好吃的餐廳,一定會再介紹給大家。至於食譜,待作者安定後,亦會再作出新嘗試,加入更多新元素,希望大家耐心等候。
