Salted black olives, aka "kiam kanah"
Longer than "ang-moh" olives, with tapered ends. Smells a little stronger too.Looks a bit like a leech.
Bought them from "Spices Shop" (basement 1 Eastpoint Mall) - they sell them in little covered cups (bout$0.90 each, I think)
Remove flesh - puree - forms a stiff paste - difficult to mix so added olive oil and hot water. The seeds are supposed to have an edible flesh (?)
A bit too salty - next time ?soak overnight in brine?
2 covered cups/btls + 3 cups uncooked rice = bout 5 rice bowls cooked rice.
Heat oil...fry paste till fragrant...add rice and mixmixmix. Didn't add anything else, not even fish sauce.

Ta da!

Garnishing :
- omelette (egg + some shallots + "juice" from beef (see next post on beef salad) + minced garlic + mince wan swee stems)
- mint leaves
- chilli padi
- spring onion
