Yay, it’s the weekend!! :blush: I decided to post a second challenge this week, right before you all break off for your weekend so that you can have something simple to do when you are free! I hope you’ve all been enjoying these “Name the Dish” challenges which I think is a great way to learn about new dishes/ingredients that may be foreign to you!

Throughout these challenges, I’ve been surprised that some dishes are unknown to some and I’ve soon realised just how lucky I’ve been in getting exposed to so many different types of cuisines. Recognition of Asian food comes from my upbringing in multicultural Malaysia with it’s huge melting pot of Malay, Chinese, Indian and ethnic cooking. And I’m aware of some Western food because I watch a lot of TV (cooking shows) and also just through my own experience living here in the UK for the past 20+ years.

However, the point that I want to make is that at some point in my life, these dishes are also completely foreign to me and we should take whatever opportunity we get to broaden our horizons and learn about new cultures through their food/drinks! #LocalGuidesKitchen certainly is giving me an educational experience not just about cooking but also about the local story behind each dish and I’m forever grateful for that!

Anyway, enough about reflecting on life… let’s bring out the challenge!!

If you haven’t seen it yet, you can check out the past challenges for the blue :large_blue_circle: , green :green_heart: and orange :large_orange_diamond: dishes! Answers are somewhere in the comments but obviously try to answer them before you see the answers! :sweat_smile:

The challenge is really simple, try and name all the dishes that you see in the images posted. They are all numbered and I’ve also provided zoomed-in images that show the dishes slightly better! :sunglasses:

When providing your answers, please also indicate the number of the dish that you’re referring to. And I would highly encourage you to answer in your own language too and if you can, do also add the English translations. It’s super fun to see what the dishes are called locally!

For example:

  1. Ikan bakar (grilled fish)
  2. Ais krim (ice cream)

… and so on. And you don’t have to be super accurate! :nerd_face:

Enjoy this latest challenge! Tag your foodie friends and see if they are any good at it! And don’t forget that the final #LocalGuidesKitchen show is taking place this Sunday, 11th April at 2PM (GMT+1). As it is the final show, we are doing a mini ‘party’ towards the end where I will invite you all to join in to the Google Meet call too! Bring your own food and drinks to the party, get your party hat on, make some confetti to throw and we’ll also have a brief chat on the whole series too! :sunglasses: :tada:

Answers are shown below!! If you haven’t tried guessing the names of the dishes yet, now’s the time to scroll back up and do so! :sunglasses:

  1. Coffee/latte/mocha/hot chocolate. I’m not sure if cappuccino would count as I recall that they have a much thicker milky froth on top. Maybe @LuigiZ @Giu_DiB @ErmesT @Giuseppe75 can help!
  2. Chocolate cake (we assume!) with chocolate icing, chocolate cream and chocolate chunks on top! Yes, death by chocolate!
  3. Spices! From top left: rosemary, star anise, chilies, cardamom(?), bay leaf, juniper berries and in the center, ginger. Well, at least that’s what I think they are! :sweat_smile:
  4. Hot dog
  5. Oatmeal raisin cookie
  6. Portuguese egg tart/natas
  7. Temaki sushi (salmon, prawns, spring onion garnish and sushi (rice) wrapped in nori (seaweed))
  8. Raspberry tart
  9. Pumpkin/carrot soup (pumpkin seeds, a dash of pepper and coriander as garnish)
  10. Erm… a pie of something!
  11. Sausages
  12. Waffles with butter and syrup
  13. Crepe with cream, strawberries, a drizzle of chocolate sauce and icing sugar
  14. Lollipop

@Nyainurjanah Yay! Terima kasih! I’m learning a lot about what the Indonesian words are! I don’t even know what the Malaysian words are for the dishes above! :sweat_smile:

@SoniaK Ah… thanks for taking part even though your fasting has started!!

Thanks @ChanneLing for joining in the challenge!

@HiroyukiTakisawa Out of curiosity… is it common to mix salmon and shrimp together? Most temaki sushi that I’ve seen usually has one main fish used and only mixed with vegetables or ikura (salmon roe).

Hi, @AdrianLunsong

It is not uncommon as this kind of Sushi. Originally Temaki-suhi is a home cooking or a party menu, and we enjoy cooking itself too. So basically it has no rules and traditions, we cook with our favorite combinations.

I hope to hold a temaki sushi party with all of you. Leave sake up to me :sake:

Hey @AdrianLunsong ,

thank you for the tag! Well it might also apply but that’s definitely not a well made cappuccino, in case of :sweat_smile: . It is indeed more a mocha, hot chocolate, or latte macchiato, I even would have guessed it as a hot barley. Cappuccino is more milk, bit dense and of course yes withthicker milky froth on top :smiley: .

@HiroyukiTakisawa Yesterday, I had a sushi craving and ordered some! I seldom order a temaki but all these chat about it made me get one!

Unfortunately it had mayo too which I don’t like to have in my sushi!

Not here to take part in the quiz but I hadn’t realised you were just over the hills from me @AdrianLunsong - was wondering if you’ve had an opportunity to visit the Hip Hop Chip Shop on your culinary travels? Me and a friend used to make a pilgrimage over the M62 whenever we could before these crazy times started, can’t wait to get back over there.

Leeds has a lot of great places to eat but Manchester is on another level in my opinion.

@turbotapeworm It sounds crazy but I haven’t tried Hip Hop Chip Shop properly! I’ve seen their pop-up stalls but never did give them a go. I usually get distracted by the cake stalls! I did my degree in Leeds so am fond of it but as a student, my experiences were very much limited to Morrisons and home cooking! How about a meet-up in Leeds (I’ll bring the Manchester Local Guides) and you can help show us around?

@AdrianLunsong thank you for the tag!

Congratulations for this initiative and love the focus on the food !

As you know I live the Cappuccino :yum: by the way I would agree with @LuigiZ on the fact that the photo shows more a latte macchiato than a Cappuccino. When you drink a Cappuccino you will taste the soft milk foam that jointly with cacao will definitely leave a sign on your mouth :joy: :yum:

Hi, @AdrianLunsong

Awesome! and I agree with you. FYI, the most cases, Temaki (and Sushi) with mayo is being served for kids in Japan. Although, there are nice dishes for adults too :grin:
