It has been a long long time since I last had 'Hay Bee Hiam' (Cilli dried prawns). Mum used to make this when we were young. She added some sugar to make it spicy - sweet and both my brother and I love them so much. Somehow, this dish disappeared from our list and mum stop making them too.
Not until yesterday, I saw 2 cups of 'Hay Bee Hiam' on the dinning table and can't wait to dig into them. MIL said one of the relatives went somewhere for a short getaway and bought them. MIL gave me 1 cup for me to bring to the office.

They are so precious that I had to eat them bit by bit. That small cup of 'Hay Bee Hiam' won't last long and I'm gonna crave for them. Looks like I have to remind mum about this yummy 'darling' so she can start to make them again after so many years !
I like this too. Eating this with anything also nice.
ReplyDeleteYes...with anything also nice hor.....
DeleteOh, I like it and my mom is good at making this too :D
ReplyDelete1 cup is definitely not enough for me alone, kekeke!
Actually, that 1 small cup is not enough for me too. haha....but too precious so have to eat little by little
DeleteI love this too... it goes well with almost everything! Ya, you should remind your mum to make this again. I bought one cup from outside last time and it was not nice. There's nothing like homemade ones and my mum is good in cooking this too :)
ReplyDeleteHomemade is always the best. Pure ingredient and tasted better too.
DeleteYou can make your own:
