Thai Belacan Fried Rice

It's Lunch Time!!!

How do you think of Thai Food? What kind of Thai dishes you like to have? For most of the friends around me, they love Tomyam!!! How about you? Not only Tomyam is the famous one, but still, Thai Food also famous of Kerabu, Somtam, Pineapple Fried Rice, Pattaya Fried Rice and Belacan Fried Rice!!!

Today I'm going to show you the famous Thai Belacan Fried Rice in Penang!!!

This Thai Food Fried Rice's stall is located at Perak Lane, just opposite of Bandar Baru Supermarket. Each plate of Fried Rice is just for RM3.30 only.

What is Belacan? Belacan, a Malay variety of shrimp paste, is prepared from fresh tiny shrimp of a species known as geragau in Malay. These are mashed into a paste and buried for several months. The fermented shrimp are then dug up, fried and hard-pressed into cakes. Belacan is used as an ingredient in many dishes, or eaten on its own with rice. A common preparation is sambal belacan, made by mixing belacan with chilli peppers, minced garlic, shallot paste and sugar and then fried. The aroma from the frying mixture can be unpalatable to Westerners who have not become accustomed to it, but is an absolute delight to the Asian connoisseur.

Once the rice is done, all the ingredients will be put on top of the rice and serve to the customers. The ingredients included Ikan bilis, Mango slices, Onion, Cucumber, Egg and Chicken.

This Belacan Fried Rice is very delicious for me!!! It is full of Belacan taste. You actually can smell it once you go near to the stall.

So do you know what is Pattaya Fried Rice too? Yeah, I'm going to show you all next time!!!
