Aunty Pauline Evill @evillloo of Lawson’s Dry Hills Wines lives on the island paradise of Waiheke. She has been dreaming of real Malaysian Nyonya food of the type she grew up with in Kuala Lumpur. Today lunch offered an opportunity to see Aunty Rita @rita.lai.5059 at Bunga Raya, New Lynn and Uncle had the pleasure to take her. She had already decided to have the Ling Collar Vermecelli Soup yesterday. This soup is Bunga Raya’s best-kept secret. The soup has components that has subtle shifts of flavour in that it his kiam church (preserved mustard greens), ginger and sing boi (preserved plum), cooked in a soup with beehoon (rice vermicelli). Milk is added last to the soup. Normally deep-fried battered ling collars are added but today, we requested them not to be soaking away in the soup, so there’s a bit of crunch. Uncle had the Bunga Raya Nadia Lemak. Aunty Rita has kept the Curry Kapitan for Uncle’s original guests, Otis & Sarah Frizzell @theluckytaco_nz. But pressure of work meant they had to cancel. Uncle would stick his neck out and say the Nasi Lemak is one of the best you can find in this town. All the elements of Nasi Lemak are there: ikan bills, stir fried peanuts (with skin on), cucumber and the 2 most important components, the sambal and the lemak rice. Bunga Raya’s sambal does not have belacan so the onion and tamarind shines. Aunty Pauline asked for some more sambal to take home, that’s how good it is. She also said the lemak rice was the best she’s ever had. There’s a reason for that; the rice is freshly cooked with coconut cream and instead of Bunga Telang (blue pea flower) colouring, it’s pandan leaf which has been squeezed to extract the flavour and green colour. The Curry Kapitan has been kept from the weekend’s special. For such curries, they improve with age (frozen). Lunch toddy was just like what you could get in a kopitiam in Kuala Lumpur.
