Tapai and Kepah Rebus

Today is Friday and that means I don't have to cook coz hubby will be adventurous at Pasar Tani infront of MOF looking at kuihs,sea creature and human being..ooppss.. ;-P

I knew that he always stop by at the same stall looking at those cockles and whatever sealife living in a shells..he just loves it..being a Penangite and lives by the sea, he have this bonding and admire and loves the taste of seafood..so today he bought a kilo of kepah...its not that much actually..it was just the shells weight..







We just boiled the water first..and after about 15 minutes, we put some sliced ginger,lemon grass, crushed garlic plus a pinch of salt..let it boiled and ready...we eat it on its own..no ketchup or chillie sauce...

Before we put them in a boiling water, we mix the kepah in a container togerther with dried chillie to clean the shells..tips from my SIL..

He always in a mission looking for traditional kuih like these tapai..the one that he always bought was wrapped in different type of leaves..


They look interesting in these leaves..attached together..tapai is a fermented food..it is sweet and juicy. It the olden days, tapai normally were wrapped in daun keladi.
