Deokbokki

I was excited during my vacation to Taiwan that I found the ingredients to cook deokbokki. I bought it all the way back to Brunei and cooked it. This is the 2nd time cooking it and I have the time to take pictures on how to cook it ^^


Below are the ingredients needed and how to cook it.


P/S: How I wish Brunei sells the main ingredients needed to cook deokbokki :(

This is the most important ingredient for deokbokki. This is what we call the sticky rice cake. Bought this in Taiwan. Too bad I bought 2 packets only. Should have gotten more =.="

This is easily available in Brunei. China spring onion. Slice it sideways

This is also easily available in Brunei. I got the above and this ingredient from Hua Ho :) Usually the Koreans would use fish cake but instead I use prawn cake here ^^ Cut it into bite size

The sauce for deokbokki!!! Bought this at Taiwan too!!! Got 2 bottles of this :D

Fill in your wok/pan with water about 1/4 full for 1 packet of sticky rice cake

Add in 1/4 bottle of the deokbokki sauce

Bring it to boil

Add in the sticky rice cake

Stir it always so the sticky rice cake does not stick to the bottom of the wok/pan

Once the sticky rice cake has soften, add in the fish cakes or in this case my prawn cakes :p

Stir to mix it well

Once stirring it well, add in the spring onion last so that one can taste the crispiness of the spring onion ^^

Its all done!!! Ready to be served hot :)

Taiwan & KK 19/12/12

Last post about my trip in Taiwan ^^ *wootzz wootzz* On this day, we had to be at Taoyuan Airport early as our flight was at 8am. Thus we had to be at the airport by 6am. Upon arriving at airport, the weather was so cold when the wind blew at us around 545am *bbbrrrr* After upon arrival at Taoyuan Airport, we immediately went to the Customs Counter to have them checked our tax refund items we bought. It was a long queue with one counter open only :s After that, it was a long queue also at the check in counter for MAS airlines. Sigh~ After all the check in and immigration checking, we were left with no time at all to buy anything at the airport *uwaaa* I ended up with lots of Taiwan dollars :(


Upon arrival at KKIA, I was being picked up by my friend, Gin :) We went to 1Borneo to do some shopping as I needed to exchange my MAC empty bottles for a lipstick. We had lunch at Dome and then Gin & her HB did their own shopping while me & SY go our own way.


This last post about Taiwan does not has much pictures as we were mostly jet lagged :p

Woke up at 330am to have all this packed

Called the bell boy to take our 7 bags of luggage at around 445am. Our luggage was in excess that we had to pay a fee for the excess baggage O.o

Breakfast provided by the hotel

Buns and juice

Got this Christmas present from Gin

A key chain holder

And its a lip balm too ^^

When we were on our way back from KKIA to BIA, we were being given this to do a survey. IPhone worr to do survey. Don't play play :p

I am happy to be able to find this finally in KK :D

Taiwan 17/12/12 & 18/12/12

The final two days in Taiwan is when I believed we walked a lot and carry lots of stuffs too *LOL* Those were the days where we did most of our shoppings!!! Hahahaha~~ By the way, if you note that in all my previous posts I did not post up any pictures of my purchases in Taiwan. It is all in my Facebook page yea ^^ Do drop by there and have a look (that is if you are interested :p)



I will just let the pictures tell the story of our adventure then xoxo

17/12/12 - This is when we were on our way to visit Taipei 101 for the 2nd time :p As we were walking from the train station to Taipei 101, we saw this unique bench and took pictures on it :p

Saw this too when we were on our way to Taipei 101. Bike for rent. Just swipe your top up MRT card and away you go :)

After buying some clothes in Hang Ten, we had our simple lunch at the food court in Taipei 101. This is my drink ^^

Our lunch

As we were going around the 4 different Sogo Department Store around Taipei 101 area, we saw these famous cartoon characters 

After shopping at Sogo Department Stores, we decided to take a break and have our tea :)) We ordered the famous 1973 pop corn chicken and my drink is fruit tea with lime ^^

Dinner time comes and we just had a simple dinner around Ximending area. This place we entered is just next to the Chicken Chop stall *hehehe* SY had beehoon soup and I had lo bak peng

We ordered Garlic Chicken Cartilage from Chicken King (stall that sells the Chicken Chop) and had it with our dinner ^^

18/12/12 - Third time in Taipei 101. LOL XDD This time SY bought original Longchamp bag for her mummy. This is what we do best in big department stores. We shop more than 3000NTD, we claim our tax then we shop some more *LOL*

2nd last day we in Taiwan, the temperature dropped and I had to resort to this as my fingers were turning purple so fast O.o

We met up with SY's aunt again for the final time and she treated us to lunch 

We had lunch at One Dragon Restaurant at Ximending area (this restaurant is just next to the famous Ah Chung Mee Sua stall)

Our lunch for 3 people. Overfull :s

As we were heading to the train station to bid farewell to SY's aunt, I so have to capture this on the stairs as I have passed by these stairs more than 3 times and these words are so inspiring :)

After sending off SY's aunt, we shopped some more at Taipei Main Station. Our tea break or should I say coffee break *kekeke* This brand is so famous here until they even have cafe for it 

A little something we had before dinner time ^^ They say this is a must try and we did on our final night in Taiwan :D

Hot mee sua on a cold evening. Just perfect!!!

Dinner time comes

My dinner~ Just had the meat and veges with little rice ^^

SY's dinner. Pasta

Our MRT One Day card for 3 days

This message was waiting for us when we arrived at our hotel for the night :)

Taiwan 16/12/12

The 3rd day for us to be in Taiwan is the most exciting one for me!!! We saw panda!!! It was so exhilarating to see one of God's extinct creature live in front of my eyes ^^ Ok la~ I let the pictures doo all the job. Hehehe~

Had to cut down on meat for breakfast. Just plain porridge with bamboo shoot, french toast & fried carrot cake

Taking our ride to Taipei Zoo~~ Huhuhu

What I see from inside of the moving train O.o

We are finally here after about 9 stops :p

Entrance

The long queue outside to get our train ticket *phew*

We decided to get on the shuttle train to go to the end of the zoo and walked down to see the other animals along the way instead of walking all the way to the other end :p

The end of the zoo has these different kinds of animals

One of my favourite spot

Lucky to see them during their feeding time

This fella seems like he is being punished standing alone at this corner while the others are feeding at the other corner (pic above)

This species of penguin is half the height of SY :s

Me & Baby Penguins :)

This species has a unique name *LOL*

These are the jackasses!!! LOL

After looking at the penguins we had to rush down to the shuttle train station as we wanted to see the pandas. We skipped other animals and rode the shuttle train down again. Our ticket for the panda was at 11am

Feeling the breeze while going down

This is my aim of coming to the zoo. See live panda

We were right on time for their feeding. Here the panda is trying to grab the carrot that was hanging 

Failed the first time so...

Try again!!!

Feeding on bamboo this time :)

After from the panda site, we walked our way up again to see the other animals that we missed and we came across this shop that has these *kekekeke*

Got ourselves a milk bar and share ^^

We saw this koala last and it was sleeping =.="

After from the zoo, we had lunch at this place. SY's uncle treated us to this place to have steamboat. Food was really good!!!

Basic dish

Free slurpee~ I created the end :p

I did not take the basic soup base. I ordered for kimchi soup and it was marvellous!!!

I was so sakai that I had to take pic of these eggs. LOL XDD They are white in colour and they got stamped on :p

Since SY uncle insisted we add on meat for our order, I ordered these as per recommended by SY's uncle. Boy this is premium quality pork!!!

These clams came along too

The pork meat after being cooked

The clam was juicy too *drool*

My dessert. The ice cream was so tough to dig out thus the ice cream looks so little in my cone :(

SY and her relatives

SY's relatives are so sweet. They insisted I take a picture with them too ^^

After lunch, we shopped some more at Taipei Main Station area where there were many small stalls. Dinner came and we had our dinner at the station area. Came across this stall that serves hand made noodles. This is their order form

SY's beef noodle

My plain noodle with pork chop

After dinner we shopped some more around Ximending area and came across this stall that sells chicken chop

Of course we got to try as we didn't get one at Shilin Market

We ordered one and shared. Tastes good!!!

Next to the chicken chop stall, was a stall that sells cooling drinks *LOL* Nice strategy though. I got sugarcane with lemon ^^
