Wow - that looks complicated but it might be fun to try.
To be honest, I haven't recovered from the last episode in France. Champagne hangovers persist.
What is kangkong or water convolvulus? Does it have a North American equivalent? We have a lot of Asian markets in Toronto, but I hate looking like a stupid gwailo by asking for the wrong thing.
georgiapeach:
That looks yummy! If you are only using the shrimp heads, I'll take the shrimp please! I'm a little hungry, all we got in the Seychelles was turtle soup :o and coconut!! :lol:
Neobie:
I believe kangkong in English is water spinach, and if trying to find it in Toronto one might try asking for 蕹菜 (Mandarin yongcai, Cantonese ungchoi) or 通心菜 (Mandarin tongxincai, Cantonese tongsamchoi). I would gladly have a meal with just that and rice.
Hokkien mee is an absolute delight.
Evan_Weinstein:
anyway is not water spinach, it's spinach alone, i wonder why many people got confused by adding water infront, sighs
and in chinese characters is not 通心菜 is 空心菜, sorry peach, i know you hate me using chinese characters here.
hmm, sambal chilli with spinach with rice is cool, but it could be heaty as well, so try a bowl of green bean soup will be good

I don't hate Chinese? I just want everyone to be able to read and understand....so use them all you want, just be sure the rest of us have a translation, when possible.
