With this year Chinese New Year just around the corner, my thirst for New Year tidbits/foods is back again! Prawn crackers, mandarin oranges, love letters, dried minced pork (yok kon),… ahh, it’s too strong a temptation to resist. Apparently this year I'm carving for more ngaku(swamp potato). Acknowledged the fact that it's deep fried and oily, I try to restrict myself a little from having too much. xD
As I said, ngaku is a type of potato not mushroom. Don't get fooled by the "ku" word which means "mushroom" in Cantonese (right HY?? Jia Yi dumdum bleek, see Feng Ting also know =P). How come~? Well, here is evidence…
See those leafs sprout from the so called-nagku? Fungus DO NOT grow leafs! So it's obvious is not mushroom!! =P
golden crisp~~~
If you're all over ngaku like I am, it's best to buy some from the market and fried it yourself. Cheaper and healthier! Those tinned ngaku frequently seen in store are often fried with recycled oil. =O and it’s priced RM10+, not cheap at all!
Besides eatting it as snack! Swamp potato makes a great plant in the house! See... xD
Bleek... Jia Yi dumdum =P
