Thai Food: Belacan Rice

I knew about this Belacan Rice for quite some time but I never try it. My colleague always asked me to buy for her if I happen to go to Super Tanker Coffee Shop for food. She loves this Belacan Rice from the Thai food stall very much. Beside the Belacan Rice, the Thai Food stall is also selling Thai Pork Leg Rice, Fried Pineapple Rice and Seafood Soup. However, Belacan Rice was their famous dish. Many people are ordering it.

Where is Super Tanker Coffee Shop? It is located at Lengkok Nipah, just opposite the Taman Jubilee market and beside the Phor Tay Secondary School (still under construction). Super Tanker Coffee Shop has a lot of varieties of hawker food.

Before I go further, I think many of you should know what is belacan. Just in case you have no idea or want to have a description on it, here you go. I got it from Wikipedia.

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.

Now, back to the Belacan Rice. This was the very first time I ordered the Belacan Rice. I waited for some time and the rice was still missing in action. I cannot wait any longer and went to the stall and asked for it. The owner was preparing it and asked me whether I was OK to bring it myself. I have no problem with that.

Belacan Rice is served together with egg, pork, ikan bilis, onion and mango slice. All the ingredients have been prepared earlier. The rice will be the only one that needs to fry on the spot.

Once the rice is done, all the ingredients will be put on top of the rice and serve to the customers.

The Belacan Rice was yummy to me. The rice was full of the belacan taste. You actually can smell it once you go near to the stall. I like the mango slices. It adds the sour taste to the rice, making it better.

I like the ikan bilis too. There are very crispy.

Now I know why my colleague likes this Belacan Rice so much. I will have it again next time, for sure.

  1. Appreciated how the writer anticipated the questions a reader might have along the way, and a stop at lobbydawn continued that thoughtful approach, you can tell when content has been edited with the reader in mind versus just published as a first draft and this is clearly the former approach across what I read.

Врач собирает краткий анамнез, измеряет жизненно важные показатели — пульс, артериальное давление, температуру — и оценивает степень алкогольной интоксикации. Эти данные являются основой для разработки индивидуального плана лечения, позволяющего подобрать наиболее эффективные методы детоксикации.

  3. Useful read, especially because the writer did not assume too much background from the reader, and a quick look at dustorchid continued in the same way, a thoughtful site that meets people where they are which is something the modern web could use a lot more of for both casual and serious readers.

  4. Genuinely changed how I think about a small piece of the topic, which does not happen often online, and a look at flarefoil added another nudge in the same direction, the kind of writing that earns a small mental shift rather than just confirming what you already thought before reading is a sign of careful thought.

  5. A slim post with substantial content per word, and a look at bravofarm maintained the same density, the content per word ratio is something I track informally and this site scores high on that ratio compared to most sources I read regularly which is a quiet indicator of careful editorial work behind the scenes.

  6. Really nice to see things explained without overcomplicating the topic, the words flow naturally and stay easy to follow, and a short visit to lunarpeakoutlet only added to that experience because the same simple approach is used across the rest of the page too without any change in tone.

  7. Liked the balance between depth and brevity, never too shallow and never too long, and a stop at meritquays kept the same balance going across the rest of the site, this is one of the harder skills in writing and the team here clearly has it figured out very well indeed across every page.

  8. Now adding a small note in my reading log that this site is one to watch, and a look at mythmanors reinforced the watch status, the few sites I track deliberately rather than encounter accidentally are sites I expect ongoing returns from and this one has cleared the bar for that elevated tracking based on what I read.

  9. Looking for similar voices elsewhere has come up empty in my recent searches, and a stop at discovergiftoutlet extended the search frustration, the rare site that does what no other does in quite the same way is precious and this one has clearly developed a particular approach that I have not been able to find duplicates of.

  10. Reading this with my morning coffee turned into reading the related posts with my morning coffee, and a stop at northdawn stretched the morning further, content that pulls breakfast into a reading session rather than just accompanying it is content that has earned a higher claim on my attention than the average article does.

  11. Decided to read this site for a while before forming a verdict, and the verdict after several pages is positive, and a stop at knackpact continued that pattern, judging a site requires more than one post and giving sites a fair sample is something I try to do for promising candidates rather than rushing to dismiss.

  12. Now adding the homepage to my regular check rotation rather than waiting for individual links to find me, and a stop at softsummerfields confirmed the rotation upgrade, the move from passive discovery to active checking is a vote of confidence in a sites ongoing quality and this site has earned that active engagement clearly.

  13. Just sat with this for a bit longer than I usually would because the points are worth thinking about, and after covidtest-cyprus I had even more to chew on, the kind of post that nudges your thinking forward without forcing the issue is something I have always appreciated in good writing online.

  14. If I had encountered this site five years ago I would have been telling everyone about it, and a look at premiumhandcraftedhub extended that retrospective enthusiasm, the version of me who used to recommend favourite blogs frequently would have made sure friends knew about this one and that earlier enthusiasm is partially returning to me here.
