rojak language, rojak rice paper rollXD

Wheeeeeee~~~
new year = new life = learn new things
A few days ago, I started to learn how to make rice paper roll~ in vietnam they call it "goi cuong", malaysian customers call it "popiah"..but not really a popiah la..
damn malaysian eh, why do you like to make our vietnamese restaurant soo malaysian XD?
3 colour drink = cendol
rice noodle = hor fun
egg noodle = wantan mee
vermicelli = mai fun
grass jelly = cincau
rice paper roll = popiah
spring roll = mini popiah
beansprout = taukeh
black coffee = kopi O
white tea= sometimes even call it as "teh C" or teh tarik ==''
( dear aussie friends, try google it if you don't understand it's meaning)



lol~ imagine if I'm a vietnamese/chinese, I wouldn't even know what is popiah~ :p

eating too much malaysian food that we don't even know how to call it in englishXD
honestly, mai fun/hor fun is really popular in malaysia, but some of them don't even know it's actually called "vermicelli" / "rice noodle" in english (including me)

some of it was direct translate into other language for example: kopi-O, means coffee without milk in malay, taukeh means beansprout in hokkien..
some are not, yet similar to our malaysian food.. white tea as teh c or teh tarik, popiah as rice paper roll is a very good example.

hor fun, wantan and mai fun is a cantonese language..
taukeh, popiah is a hokkien language
kopi 0, cendol, cincau, teh C, teh tarik is a malay language
well you gotta picture.. rojak language~~soo manglish...

malaysia, truly asia

alright, back to the topic..
After working for a year with servings and orderings, I finally got a chance to make the so call "popiah" .... yay!
it was quite hard to roll it at first because it was really sticky and I was afraid that I'm gonna break it..but if you're gentle to it, it won't break...
awesome~
so I tried to make one for myself at home.. I bought the rice paper roll at the supermarket, which cost around AUS 1.50 per pack
I added chicken,veggies,lettuce,vermicelli,shrimp etcetc into my rice paper roll instead of the original ingredients~hahaXD
too bad they still haven't thought me how to make the dressing :(~

and here's my attempt on making a rice paper roll XD..as in
"rojak" rice paper roll,
note: rojak means "mix" in malay,




looks delicious aint it?XD
sorry for the lack of creativity/arts..it does not look very appealing






mmm..



oh, by the way..
happy new year guys!!(I know I know, I'm late ~@.@)
