This is another Penang food that i learn from Wendy. I love spring rolls, be it of any type of spring roll. I just love them. I saw there is another type of spring roll called Penang Lok Bak from Alan's blog, I would like to try that out too. This Hainanese spring roll is using a own made crepe sheets.

You will have a clear idea on how to cook a prefect and nice crepe sheet. My first piece of crepe was bad, i tear it :p because i didn't watch the video ahead which i should.

Participating in MFF every month let me learn a lot of authentic Malaysian food from different states which is very interesting  and new to me. This month is Penang month and Penang is a state that have lots and lots and lots of yummlicious food. This is 'Acar Awak' means pickled mixed vegetable . I first tried this when a mum of  my Shawn's class mate gave me a tub. Its difference from what we have here. After trying that tub i missed this Acar, the taste is so special with all the mixed vegetables...but at that time i did not know it is called Acar Awak. Until recently i saw Wendy post hers..I quickly try out the recipe. It turn out great and we enjoy this Acar Awak very much ^_^ Thanks to Wendy!   Acar 是 娘惹菜的其中一种，需要动用许多种本地香料和蔬菜配搭而完成。 制作过程是蛮多功夫的(麻烦一些:p)，而也需要花费 蛮 长时间来准备。 可是出来的成品.....香味浓烈，非常爽口，之前的努力都觉得物有所值！ 　 Acar Awak recipe source: WendyinKK Reference: Rasa Malaysia Nyonya Flavours (MPH Publication) Boon's Recipe Makes about...
