The Food Site

Oh wow. I am simply so overwhelmed! And wordless AGAIN in so little days…

I just received another award from fellow food blogger April, The Hungry Engineer.

This is the Arte y Pico.

Thanks so much April! I’m sure you’ve read how I salivated over her Fig and Prosciutto Pizza just only recently. And then after that, she posted this absolutely fabulous to-die-for Chocolate Mousse Pie Recipe. If you are a chocolate lover, go there and check it out.

Okay, I was made to understand that this award comes with strings attached…heheh..it has rules to adhere to:

• Pick 5 blogs that you consider deserve this award, creativity, design, interesting material, and also contributes to the blogger community, no matter of language.

• Advertise name of the author and also a link to his or her blog to be visited by everyone.

• Each award-winner, has to show the award and put the name and link to the blog that has given her or him the award itself.

• Award-winner and the one who has given the prize have to show the link of “Arte y pico” blog, so everyone will know the origin of this award.

• Share these rules.

Okay, so now it’s my chance to pass this Arte y Pico award along to…

Jessie of Simply Scrumptious - she has a pretty blog with great recipes and reviews. Check out her Pesto Stuffed Steak with roasted red potatoes.

Lynn the Bentoist - Packed lunches will never be the same again once you check out this creative lady who could practically cook anything to fit into the bento! I simply love her Steamed Chicken Char Siew Buns and the great part about her posts is that there’s a slideshow to go with the recipe.

Freya at the Cocoa Lounge - I’m a die hard chocolate lover and this lady obviously is one too! Just go on over to the blog and drool over her Chocolate Brownie Cake.

Gail of The Pink Peppercorn - This is one blog where you will find beautiful pictures and recipes for delicious AND healthy food. Check out her ultra wholesome healthy breakfast.

Vanessa of Italy in SF - If it’s Italian food you are craving, you should just check out this site. I absolutely love this photo essay of how to make your own pasta!

That’s the end of my Arte y Pico Awards list. Now, I was made to understand that I could pass along the Fabulous Blogger Award that was given to me by Jessie of The Hungry Mouse, so now, I am passing it along too:

Cajun Chef Ryan - This chef has a lot of great recipes. Do, check out his Chicken Breast Sauté recipe.

Nicole at Bay Area Foodie - She does a lot of reviews of places in Bay Area and teamed it with beautiful pictures. This post makes me hungry and we know I have this weakness for desserts…

KianLam of Red Cook - Take a look behind a Chinese kitchen (okay, so mine is also a Chinese kitchen but I cook a lot of stuffs that are not so typically Chinese….) and the best part about his blog is that he has this stir-fry technique series for those who are new to Chinese cooking.

Reeni of Cinnamon Spice & Everything Nice - If anything, I love her baking recipes and this one for peanut butter and jelly oatmeal muffins looks darn good.

Ken and his team of food tasters at Food Point of Interest - This blog has a lot of great food reviews teamed with plenty of mouthwatering pictures. Check out this video guide on how to make murukku, the Indian snack.

Lilian of Penang Foods -  This famous blogger, more popularly known as 5xmom, has a lot of food blogs and this is one of it where she introduces the places to eat in Penang.

Okay, that should end my long list for now. I actually have a Special E-Blogger Award coming up and I will mention that in a few days’ time.

I went to this month’s Little Penang Street Market last Sunday and I know it has been a few days now but I still want to post some pictures of the food they sell over at the monthly artsy bazaar.

I’ll let the pictures tell the story…

The thirst quenchers you can find at the Little Penang Street Market

Some of the foods you can find there

The curry sausage and cakes stall by Edelweiss Restaurant

The local laksa stall

Tarts...

Wholemeal bread

The chocolate cake I couldn't resist buying

I also bought this delicious crumbly jam pie which is called lindenz flan or something like that, I can't really remember...

I like it that the cakes were wrapped in brown paper bag and then placed in this recycled paper bag which this stall owner had obviously bought from another stall selling handicrafts made by the disabled.

Just look at that crumbly jam pie

Yummy...it's crumbly, buttery and combined with the sticky sweetness of the jam..ahhh... perfection!

The chocolate cake is a cross between a rich moist chocolate cake and a chocolate sponge so it is light, fluffy and yet has a moistness and richness to it that no chocolate spongecake has.

And that concludes a photo tour of the food you can find at the Little Penang Street Market. Do make a point to pay it a visit the next time around. It’s being held on the last Sunday of each month.
