Sung Choy Bow



Posted 15th March 2013

“Great cooking is about being inspired by the simple things around you, like fresh market produce, and various spices. It doesn’t necessarily have to look fancy.”
>G. Garvin

Totally agree 100 percent with Chef Garvin's quote, when it comes to Sung Choy Bow.
No exciting colors...as a matter of fact, Sung Choy Bow looks rather dull ...everything seems to be in the shades of orangey-brown...pardon me if I say ~ it is in the 'Boring' food category. oopsie...

We had been having Sung Choy Bow every year on either Chinese New Year's Eve or on the 15th day of CNY celebration... and every year I would snap a photo or two... but it never made it here.....

why??? ...however dull or boring it may be... as it turned out.... photographing Sung Choy Bow was a real  'pain'... mind-boggling and challenging...
well, to me, it is!!. sorry peeps, hope you will not be discouraged by my *trying very hard*  thus failed attempt, to make Sung Choy Bow a drool-worthy dish...

Tasty and delicious Sung Choy Bow

What Sung Choy Bow lacks in look ... it made up in taste.
This is one food, that you MUST NOT feast with your eyes... It is the food that you MUST taste...in order to appreciate the light crisp bite.

I confess ... I could eat this all day ... all week  ....I stop at all month...hehehe

Have a great weekend and take care Peeps

      Thank you Marsita...
      If you are in Msia, you can easily find fresh yam bean in the market. Its also known as sengkuang or turnip :)

    Hi Lisa, just stumbled on your beautiful blog, everything looks delicious. Same color foods can be a pain to photograph, but you've done a great job, these little cups look very cute.

    What are you talking about Lisa. I was looking at your photos and making me want to eat this. So beautiful! I tried to imagine how I would take this picture... I think my photos won't look even nice. You did such a great job and I can feel from photos how delicious this is! I'm your photography fan - always! :)
