Hijau Kuning

If you are a regular visitor to my blog, and remember my previous posts, then you know that I have mentioned about HijauKuning (green and yellow) in Vege-fruit Appetizer which was a combination of cucumber and pineapple.

As the color of the Flag of the state of Kedah, green and yellow in food will create some sort of patriotic passion, you can have cucumber and pineapple as “patriotic” appetizer in Malay cuisine.

However, there are many more expressions of eating the Chinese style “patriotism” side dish, where the Chinese here like to mix chillies and garlic with soya sauce, which is also green and yellow, but spicy and smelly.

Anyway, I kind of like this combination, especially when you eat it with Bak Gu Tek (pork ribs herbal soup).
