“smelly”
Everything to me was smelly a few weeks back. Even the fragrance from clothes detergent. But, this I had to avoid like a plague! Something that I always had double of!

A condiment that normally accompanies my noodles. It’s called ’sambal belacan chilli’. Smelly because of the ‘belacan’ which is actually fermented prawn paste.
Lovely. Now, that I’m over my first trimester…I somehow only can take 1 dose of it. I don’t know why…but my lil bub probably thinks it’s smelly! ![]()

I like sambal belachan chilli!! Are you sure you can eat in your condition. Better not lah! Later baby come out become a little chilli padi! hahaha….. Hand over the chilli! hehehe….
I’m glad you got over the “smelly aversion”! Life can be difficult like that! I hope things go smoothly.
Interesting dish!! Sounds kinda good.
I used to smell watermelon all the time during my pregnancy.

That looks delicious. Good take on the theme.
That must be very good. I love noodles too!

I can’t have most of my food without sambal belacan. I have one tub stored in the freezer for easy access all the time. Fried rice with sambal belacan rocks!! hehe
Never had it, but then when I was pregnant all I could manage was peanut butter and honey sandwiches.
I love sambal belachan too. I’m training my hubby to enjoy it now. Great take for the theme!
THe belacan sauce is the thing that make or break my noodles!!

I love sambal chilli belachan. I used to make it when I lived in NY, and I had the apt supervisor come knocking at my door one day to find out if it was a gas leak problem I had. I had forgotten to open my windows! HAd a good laugh, and hubby can usually tell from a block away whenever I made fresh sambal belachan. Guess my neighbours were celebrating when we moved out!
I know how u feel cos my wife also felt the same thing… almost anything was smelly…
Where got smelly? Aiya…
Teach Junior in belly to eat it from now! Then you can cook Kangkung and all those fish dishes which go with this!
*Yum Yum*
