Stir Fry Cucumber with Vinegar
Better note it down somewhere before it extinct....
This is one of my all time favorite nyonya dish. Very little chance I get to eat this,...only see this dish during Chinese New Year ! I can't recall seeing this dish in any of the nyonya restaurants in Klang Valley.
Seems that traditional nyonya dishes are getting lesser and lesser...the only time I can really find all the dishes are during the Chinese festive season or some special occasions.

this one only the nyonya home in Malacca or Penang will serve , or maybe in st petersberg , with tomatos and Chinese Girls
J,
It taste simple and sweet + sour.
toni,
True, it's a home cook food ! no no Chinese girls in Russia...only tomato as a dish. "Shocking Asia"
Timun char so delicious! Yours has many ingredients like chicken liver etc. Lovely!
The usual Timun Swee only put chicken or prawn, but it's much tastier when add on the chicken gizzard & liver.
Real men cook ;) Well done! This dish looks really delicious!
I love love this dish. I make mine real simply - just cucumbers, liver, red chilli and onions. They used to serve this for wedding lunches in Penang. Reading yr post makes me crave for this.
I love it too, just add in anything you liked and it's really appetizing. Happy cooking !
