‘Kou chong' maker shares technique with readers
Published on: Sunday, July 06, 2025 Published on: Sun, Jul 06, 2025 By: Jinius Pandakin Text Size: Chian collecting bamboo leaves which she uses as kuih chang wrappings. KOU Chong, more popularly known as Kuih Chang, is a traditional Chinese delicacy that is not only delicious but also worth buying for foodies. Originally from China, the dumpling's unique triangular shape makes it easily recognisable and it is customarily prepared by the Chinese community each year. Advertisement The writer recently had the opportunity to learn and assist in preparing this dish from a friend, and is eager to share this knowledge with readers. According to Liew Chew Chian, who is in her early 60s, the two essential ingredients to prepare in advance are bamboo leaves and glutinous rice. Other ingredients include sliced meat, white beans, bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, candied winter melon, dried prawns and salted egg yolks. The candied winter melon is boiled, while the other ingredients are stir-fried separately using Chinese cooking techniques before being mixed with the glutinous rice, which must be soaked for at least four hours beforehand. 'The next step involves wrapping the mixture using bamboo leaves that have been soaked overnight, then dried and boiled for an hour to make them pliable and to remove any dirt or itchiness from the leaves,' said Chian. 'Wrapping and tying the dumplings with coarse thread or nylon string requires skill to ensure that the dumplings don't unravel or come loose during boiling. 'If we grow our own bamboo plants, this can help reduce the cost of making the dumplings,' she added. Chian, a Hokkien Chinese, inherited the skill of making and wrapping kuih chang from her father, who migrated from China to North Borneo around the 1940s and later married a local woman. Every year, Chian continues the tradition of preparing kuih chang in honour of the Dumpling Festival (also known as the Dragon Boat Festival). The final step is to boil the dumplings for at least three hours to ensure they are thoroughly cooked and delicious to eat. Each cooked dumpling is sold for between RM8 and RM12, typically available at coffee shops or night markets. Once drained and cooled, the dumplings can last for up to five days at room temperature, and for a longer period if stored in the refrigerator.

Nasi lemak – a nation's breakfast

(June 28, 2025) — ZHAFARAN NASIB/The Star Malaysia's favourite comfort food stirs up sweet memories GEORGE TOWN: Every other day, company operations executive R. Reveka Nair, 26, will sample her favourite breakfast – nasi lemak. And she must get her fix even on her travel for a holiday. 'It is such a classic Malaysian meal and I have been eating it since I was a child. 'I believe every Malaysian will at least once in their lifetime try this meal for breakfast. 'The aroma of the fresh santan in the rice and the sweet, spicy sambal are what make nasi lemak special. 'Wrapping it in banana leaves really gives it more oomph,' the Kuala Lumpur lass said. Businessman Marcus Quah, 40, echoed the same sentiment, claiming that each spoonful of nasi lemak gives him pure pleasure and the nostalgia. 'Back in the 90s, it only cost 60 sen a packet at my school's canteen. 'Everyday during recess, together with my friends of different races, we would rush to the stall to get a packet before it finishes. 'Although wrapped in banana leaf and just sambal, half an egg, and some anchovies as the condiments, we felt like it was a feast. 'Even now when I eat nasi lemak, it brings back fond memories of the good times I had during my school days. We really had a wonderful time then, chatting and playing with friends from different culture and background,' he said. For a long time, nasi lemak has been Malaysia's No.1 breakfast, and it continues to win hearts across the country. Vendor Wasnita Idris, who operates a stall in Lebuh Pantai, said the humble dish made with rice cooked in santan (coconut milk) and pandan leaves have become a staple breakfast and a comfort food for many. 'Nasi lemak is something we all can agree on. Whether you are Malay, Chinese or Indian, everyone has their own way of enjoying it,' the 53-year-old said recently. Wasnita, who has been running her family business for 25 years, prides herself on the traditional Malay-style nasi lemak which is wrapped in banana leaf, and accompanied with either anchovies, squid or prawns. The sambal, she said, is the key ingredient, and it could wake any soul. 'It is made mainly of ground chilli, onions and belacan (shrimp paste), and it takes meticulous preparation. 'The bilis sambal variant is our trademark,' she said. Despite selling each packet for RM3, her stall has been featured in the Michelin Guide, mentioned as among the most affordable entries in the list. Meanwhile, trader Tan Yoke Kim, 50, serves up over 20 side dishes to accompany her Chinese-style nasi lemak. The offerings include fried chicken, sardine, tamarind prawns, petai (stink beans), soy sauce meat, sausages and even steamed okra and salted duck eggs. 'Preparation starts as early as 3am, so everything has to be ready by breakfast time. 'The number of dishes kept growing to fulfill demands of customers, but the sambal is still a must-have,' said Tan. R. Reganathan, 48, serves his ready-packed meals from a makeshift stall along the road that comes with fresh cow's milk. 'The richness of the milk helps soothe the heat from the sambal. 'Many agrees that it balances out the spiciness and offers a comforting end to the meal. 'Nasi lemak brings out the togetherness in every Malaysian. It's a simple, yet delicious breakfast,' he said.

Anglican delegation visits historic Chinese temples in Kuching for cultural exchange
Wee (front, fifth left) in a photocall with visiting delegates at the Tua Pek Kong Temple. KUCHING (July 5): A delegation from the House of the Epiphany – Anglican Diocese of Kuching paid a visit to the historic Tua Pek Kong and Hong San Si temples today as part of a cultural exchange aimed at deepening interfaith understanding. The group was welcomed by Datuk Richard Wee, chairman of the Kuching Chinese Community Charitable Trust and president of the Kuching Hockien Association (KHA), who highlighted Sarawak's enduring tradition of religious harmony and mutual respect. 'Sarawak government has promoted religious freedom and since the establishment of the Unit for Other Religions (Unifor), annual grants have been provided for temples, churches, Sikh temples and others to relieve their financial pressure,' he said during an exchange session at the KHA's premises after the visits. Delegates were shown videos of previous events organised by the two temples, which showcased the vibrant and living traditions of local Taoist culture and its contribution to community life. Wee shared that early Chinese settlers from southern China had built temples as places of prayer for peace and prosperity, many of which still stand today as symbols of their contribution to Sarawak's development. He said in Sarawak, ancient temples can be seen in areas with a long history, proving that the Chinese ancestors settled down here and participated in the local development. Tua Pek Kong Temple, believed to have been built as early as 1820, is regarded as the oldest temple in Sarawak and continues to attract thousands of devotees each year. Managed by the Chinese Community Charitable Trust, it is not only a place of worship but also a cultural landmark bearing witness to the transformation of Kuching city over the decades. Wee noted that similar Tua Pek Kong temples can be found throughout Sarawak, many established during the opening of trade ports in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Located nearby, Hong San Si Temple houses the revered Guang Ze Zun Wang deity and holds special significance for the Hockien community. Wee said the temple regularly hosts festivals, with the annual birthday parade for the deity being the most significant. The parade involves more than 200 participating teams and has become a major cultural event, drawing diverse local communities and tourists alike. 'We hope that our visiting delegates will take this opportunity to understand the beliefs of the Chinese community as well as appreciate the beauty of Kuching,' said Wee.
