One needs good judgement on how hot the fire should be and very quickly fold the hot piece into a fan like shape.
It is always fun helping with the folding of the hot pieces.
I did not help this year as I had Miss K 'koala-ed' onto me all the time!
What I love best is when dad don his satay-man 'hat' and charcoal-grilled about, not too sure how many, but it looked something like 100 skewers of pork and chicken satay.
This often happens after we make kuih kapek. Never let charcoal go to 'waste', Dad says.
It was a great night feasting on such yummy home made food - Fantastic Satay, Fresh Salad (with herbs from Granny's garden) and Aunt's signature Potato Salad (and of course Kuih Kapek for dessert).
Best meal in Penang!

Wow, can't believe your mum still make kueh kapek after all this while. My mum used to made at home every year without fail too, and we were very happy and excited to help out. Till we all grown up and left home for uni, mum has stopped that already, too tired to do it alone. Envy envy! Definitely the best meal! Hope this tradition carries on for many years to come!
ReplyDeleteNever seen this for a long long time in Singapore ! My granny used to do this when she's still around. Missed these moments !
