I haven't eaten tapioca for years and back when I was a wee young, ravishingly handsome (hahaha ... perasan betul!) lad, my dearly departed grandma used to make them specially for me. I was a spoilt grandma's boy so I got to eat whatever I wanted anytime and tapioca was one of them.
I could just sit there and eat the whole darned pot of boiled tapioca by myself. Depending on my mood for the day, I'd either sprinkle sugar on them or just eat them plain. I simply loved the stuff.
Today, wifey and me saw some being sold at Empire Shopping Gallery and I got a whole bag full, well more like four pieces la and insisted on her preparing it for me the moment we came home. And when she told me it was done, I was like a little boy running out to get my plate, plonked a whole piece on it, made a mug of coffee which it goes absolutely well with and was happily chomping on it.
Ahhh ... it was simply delicious and brought back sweet memories of my younger days as a spoilt brat ... LOL!
.
OMG! I haven't eaten it for ages too!
ReplyDeleteMy late grandma used to boil them and we kids used to enjoy it on our school break. ^^ With a cup of black, black coffee. Yummy!

ReplyDeleteTerra - I think all the older folka loved the stuff too.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, it's times like these that I feel so young - I never had tapioca nor do I remember my parents having some (or maybe they did when they were young!)
ReplyDeleteSweet memories, sweet potatoes!
ReplyDeleteSometimes it really is the simple things in life.

ReplyDeleteeh, tapioca wt coffee? i havent tried that before but sounds yummy la. you're such a good eater! :)
Ooo I've only eaten this a few times ;) But I know it's nice, and ya especially when you add sugar. But I'd prefer mango when I was a kid hahaa.
ReplyDeleteSriyany - Times like this makes me feel so old ... hahaha!
ReplyDeleteThe World According To Me - It is, it really is.
ReplyDeleteJean - Tapioca with coffee is simply awesome!
ReplyDeleteArmstrong - I love mango too, still do but it must be the sour kind.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, I can't get my stomach satisfied with just tapioca even when ive eaten alot. The feeling aint the same as eating rice. But of course, if it's darurat..beggar cant choose lah kan :)
ReplyDeleteCarol - Hahaha ... darurat, I think eating grass also cukup!
ReplyDeleteyou should try eating ubi kayu with sambal tumis ikan bilis, nick.
ReplyDeleteI like tapioca and used to have them growing all over the place in our kampong. Sadly I can't even find any stems to grow in our yard these days.
ReplyDeleteWas that all you had fro dinner? Wah, you guys are really healthy.
Emila - Sambal tumis ikan bikis? Now, that I have to try one day :D
ReplyDeleteBT - It's the same here, you can hardly grow grass even ... siggghhh ...
ReplyDeleteYes, that was all we had for dinner.
