my breakfast - 嫁女饼 Part 2
My 2nd time of buying 嫁女饼 (Jia Nv Bing) or "Bride Piah",
this time, it is yellow in colour.
Compared to the 20 cents coin, we can see that the Piah is medium in size. It is bigger than normal tau sar piah but smaller than Pong Piah.
The paste is Lotus 莲蓉。
The paste is soft and not dry at all.It is very tasty but yet not too sweet.

" 按照广东传统习俗，婚嫁之前，礼饼是绝对不能少的，女家派礼饼给亲友就等于正式宣告家中有女儿将要出嫁。因此，以 嫁女饼 (Jia Nv Bing) or "Bride Piah" 为首的传统礼饼是婚礼至显隆重的尊贵聘物.
嫁女饼也叫绫酥. "
Based on the paste, I rate the awesomeness of the Piah as 80%.
Actually I like both Tau Sar & Lotus paste.... =)
And I would like to buy and taste it again. =)

Now, i sincerely wanna introduce the smoothest and tastiest Tau Fu Fa to all of you.
My friend is studying medicine in Ipoh , Perak.
So one day, we suddenly become very enthusiastic and decide to drive to Ipoh to visit her.
7:30AM – Start off from Penang
10:00AM – Reach Ipoh & Dim Sum & Tau Fu Fa 豆腐花 & Tau Tsui 豆水 (Breakfast)
The Stall is very small and is just located at the corner of Jalan Theatre.
Ipoh people normally call it as "take-away Tau Fu Fa 豆腐花
instead of 奇峰豆腐花 / Funny Mountain Soya Bean.
Along the street, you can observe many cars are queing to tau-pau / take away the Tau Fu Fa. Some drivers may choose to park their car beside the road and eat in the car. After that, the boss will collect back the bowl.
They sell Tau Fu Fa 豆腐花, Tau Tsui 豆水 Soya bean and Cheng Cau.
Personally, I feel that their Tau Fu Fa is the Smoothest and tastiest. I cannot find any tau fu fa in Penang that can compete with them.
one of the reason may because of their Secret Weapon - Wood-made tray.
According to the boss Mr Tan, he produces the Tau Fu Fa based on his secret recipe inheritted from his father.
thats why his Tau Fu Fa is so smooth and aromatic.
You can choose to enjoy your tau fu fa with Soya bean or with white sugar.
Note: black Sugar is not provided.
If you ever have a chance to come to IPOH, you must have a try on this Tau Fu Fa.

Normally, there are 4 types of colour of 嫁女饼 , yellow, white, red and orange. Different types of colour represent different meanings.
The 嫁女饼 I bought from Jelutong market is Red in colour.
On the top of the skin of the piah , there is a word, " 喜喜".
Thus, I saw some aunties in the market bought the 嫁女饼 to pray Ang Kong.
The paste is Tau Sar / red bean which is my favourite. =)
the Tau sar paste is very smooth but it is not too sweet.
Based on the paste, I rate the awesomeness of the Piah as 80%.
And I would like to buy and taste it again. =)

Since young, I always go to Jelutong Market / Pasar Jelutong with my Mother to buy vegetables and breakfast.
Jelutong martket of course is located in Jelutong area. But the road actually is Jalan Ipoh.
Today, my breakfast is Soya Bean (Tau Tsui) and some "Piah".
I will introduce the "Piah" in another post.
I love black sugar with my soya bean.
This Soya bean is rather smooth. bUt the tastiest soya bean that I ever had is in IPOH...
