As much as i love cheese.
I ordered oh jien (fried oyster egg) yesterday. This is how it looked like.
Oh jien.
It didn’t look yummy. You know what is worse?
It tasted exactly like how it looked.
I also don’t know why i ordered it. I don’t really like baby oysters because i think they are so fishy! HH said eating baby oysters is like eating mini bladders, the urine bursts in your mouth with each bite.
But i love the eggs!
So… I ate the eggs.
Oh.
I think the Oh Jien seller would be very very sad. And all Oh lovers will be cursing me now.
I also ordered lobak kou (fried carrot cake).
Lobak Kou
I always order lobak kou with extra eggs!
Still Lobak kou.
The rest of the ingredients were nice, but the carrot cake itself was so dry and utterly tasteless. I also dunno what’s the point of ordering lobak kou and not eating it.
HH said, next time might as well order oyster flavored fried eggs and carrot cake flavored fried eggs.
Or better still, order JUST fried eggs.
-_-|||
Sometimes i wonder why the supporting cast always outshine the main characters.
This is Cuttlefish BeeHoon.
I love it! It’s a Seremban specialty. Hardly ever see it in KL.
Just like how we love the beef in beef noodle and wantons in Wanton Mee, you expect the cuttlefish to be extra tasty.
But this is what I ordered.
Mom hates cuttlefish! She said it’s the stupidest seafood to be eaten, because, apart from its chewiness, it has no nutrient values, and tastes horribly bland. It’s like eating a thick slice of rubber.
So yea. I wonder if there’re people who order Nasi Lemak tak mau nasi, orange juice dowan orange, and Siew Bao without bao.
Got ah?

Order Teh Ais without ice and watch them chase you out with a broom.

keju: And cham bing dowan cham.

O.O you have completely desecrated our hawker culture and the food. I feel as if my manhood has been reduced to the size of a pencil by this post. LOL This is not to mention they are the few of my favourite food.
But the cuttlefish is true tho, actually so is the oyster. I wonder why i like them….
February 10th, 2007 at 1:34 pm
Cheesie, is that how the oh jien looks like over there? o.O
February 10th, 2007 at 3:13 pm
cheesie, my friends Su and Agnes do things like this! chicken rice with rice can or not? prawn noodles with prawn can? lol..
February 10th, 2007 at 3:24 pm

AH!! OJIEN DUN EAT THE OYSTER! :O
February 10th, 2007 at 5:59 pm
I love oh jien!! But not without the egg
It’s true that your oh jien doesn’t look as nice as the one I ate in Penang though…but it makes me think of that one…have to wait at least 6 months to eat it though…:(
I agree with you about the lobak kou though…but it seems to be what I call char kuey kak
February 10th, 2007 at 6:08 pm
Hey!
I love those food. XP
February 10th, 2007 at 6:13 pm
That is the worst looking oh jien i’ve ever seen! However, the oysters look pretty big eh……For me..oh jien is spoz to be moist and juicy, and taken with lotsa special chili sauce.
The cuttlefish noodle looks very appetising…..where in Seremban can i get them? I’m not familiar with seremban tho.
Carrot cake……the ‘cakes’ are too chunky lar….it’s spoz to be in smaller pieces….argh…its so wrong…………
February 10th, 2007 at 7:31 pm
Er, funny you should say that Kenny…
Because my friend once pointed to my teh-o-limau-ais at the mamak stall and ordered ‘ini, tapi tak mau ais, tak mau limau’ instead of just saying ‘teh panas satu’
We all kena scolded by the mamak operator =P
February 10th, 2007 at 7:41 pm
Me and my frens usually order or jien but like you, we only eat the egg..=) and the egg has to be extra crispy!! yuuummm
The or jien looks pathetic ler..Penang or jien looks different.
i think Kenny must be enjoying his Penang delights right now..hehe
February 10th, 2007 at 8:13 pm
not all cuttlefish i hate, the fresh one is ok,if cook with sambal will be real yummy, wat i hate is those chemically treated cuttlefish.
February 10th, 2007 at 8:34 pm
btw….oh dear, im selling organic food here but u r eating all the junk food there…sigh.
February 10th, 2007 at 9:16 pm

February 11th, 2007 at 2:02 am
I like to eat eggs too, especially plain fried egg.
Got, but you still pay the normal price.
February 11th, 2007 at 3:20 am
Thailand’s Oh Jien is just, marvelous!
I just went over to Seremban to eat their Beef Noodles. Starchy but nice!
Singapore’s Bak Chor Mee..super fabulous..Anna have you eaten the one at Crawford?
February 11th, 2007 at 8:49 am
Cheesie, wait of food ler u! hehehe
February 11th, 2007 at 8:49 am

February 11th, 2007 at 11:07 am
the oh jien is not a big deal lah.. i remember last time my ex and i used to order “hao jian bu yao hao” and end up wondering if the hawker would give us strange stares
February 11th, 2007 at 12:16 pm
Mama Cheesie is rite! Almost all cuttlefish you get from the foodstalls nowadays are so “chemically” enhanced………
February 11th, 2007 at 12:25 pm
well..i always order Prawn Mee..without Prawns and with Kuay Teow! A friend of mine ordered Teh O Kosong before..without Teh..guess what came? Plain water of course
February 11th, 2007 at 1:55 pm
The Ah Beng style of purchasing a car is… Mitsubishi Evo without Mitsubishi… So there comes the birth of Waja-lution and Wira-lution.
February 11th, 2007 at 2:50 pm
quite the same experience, a fren ordered fresh juice, instead of saying pure orange juice,she emphasized on ~ no water, no sugar, no ice pleassssssse! the smart waiter then came back with a big glass containing miserable, may be 2 sips…of pure orange juice!
February 11th, 2007 at 5:39 pm
@-@: Same case! Orange juice out there are so diluted! So i ordered “double orange” without sugar and ice instead, so that i get a full glass of pure orange instead of half a glass of water. You know what came back? A jumbo glass with diluted orange juice.
February 11th, 2007 at 6:07 pm
i ordered chicken rice dun wan chicken but fried chicken egg -.-
cuz i’m vegetarian and i LOVE egg!!
February 11th, 2007 at 7:38 pm
I ordered prawn noodles without prawns before.. >.
February 12th, 2007 at 12:51 am
Cheese- u r so spoiled……..about the food. Felt bad….for u….!
February 12th, 2007 at 9:14 am
‘HH said eating baby oysters is like eating mini bladders, the urine bursts in your mouth with each bite.’
LOL! My gawd, what a horrible way to describe food.
Agrees with aycy, spoiled cheese. Not gonna lecture you bout how hungry people in Africas have nothing to eat but, just think of all the food you’ve wasted. Unless the food tasted like shit which I seriously doubt any hawker would purposely let their food taste like shit, you ought to finish them up. Not easy to earn money ya know.
Cheerse.
February 12th, 2007 at 2:30 pm

February 12th, 2007 at 5:52 pm

February 12th, 2007 at 11:33 pm

February 13th, 2007 at 4:26 pm

February 14th, 2007 at 10:59 am
EAT YOUR VEGGIES!
(No, this is not your momma posting as me.)
February 14th, 2007 at 11:27 pm
I actually see someone ordering nasi lemak without nasi before. Serious. Then the hawker give that lady everything except the rice
March 4th, 2007 at 6:59 pm
haha.. it reminds me of a mamak session with my friends. he actually asked for “roti canai tak mau tepung” from a mamak operator. the boss gave him some roti which looks similar to roti garing :p
and another situation from a famous wan ton mee stall back in my hometown. that time was about 2pm and they’ve run out of wan ton.yet still got ppl queueing up just for the mee. it’s funny to be at the scene to listen to ppl ordering “just mee and the soup will do” from a WANTON mee stall.. but no doubt the mee is nice :p
September 27th, 2007 at 6:23 pm
ewww they all look sick
December 31st, 2007 at 8:01 pm
nasi goreng tak mau goreng satu!
March 4th, 2008 at 3:33 am
I know it’s bad but I love eggs so much. In fact, just the other day my girlfriend made me choose her or the fact that I eat eggs three to four time a day. Let’s just say- I had a nice omelet later on that afternoon. Ha-ha- jokes on her. I love me some EGGS!
