Sentosa Corner Bukit Mertajam - Yam Rice with Salted Vegetable Pork Soup

It's been a long time since I last had yam rice with salted vegetable soup. The stall that I usually go to is in Bukilt Mertajam, Kedai Makanan & Minuman Sentosa Corner.

Their yam rice is cooked with black soya sauce and lots of yam (they usually use yam which are "sang") to give the rice a nice fragrance. The yam rice can be eaten with salted vegetable soup or stew pig trotter and intestines. My preference is with salted vegetable soup.

The salted vegetable soup is a clear saltish and sourish soup. This stall makes it with the right level of saltiness and sourness.

The main ingredient for the soup is salted vegetable (kiam chye) and is usually cooked with thinly sliced pork (sam cham bak). The other optional ingredients are pork meatballs, pig's maw, liver, kidney, blood, heart, tongue and intestine. My uncle like the dish with lots of Chinese parsley. This dish is best eaten with the special chilly paste mixed with dark soya sauce.

The stew pig trotter is cooked with dark soya sauce. They also cooked pig's intestines in the same sauce. I like the stew "hoon cheong" which is chewy and powdery, minus the smell as they cleaned it very well. Ho chiak but bad for the cholesterol!

Sentosa Corner's yam rice and salted vegetable soup is highly recommended if you are in Bukit Mertajam area.

Chea Hu
Sentosa Corner is located opposite Bukit Mertajam Medan Selera. You can also get very good pasembur (chea hu) and healthier roti canai (they use less oil to cook the roti canai) in Sentosa Corner. I heard the chicken rice is also good but I've not tried it yet.
