“smelly”

Posted on October 13, 2007

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! :lol:

    Don’t think I have ever had that. It kinda looks like salsa.

    That looks and sounds like it’s a yummy condiment. :) Prawns are certainly yummy. :)

    Glad to hear that you are past that first trimester and can tolerate smells again. :-)

    Thanks for the Eid wishes - enjoy all the holiday fun and food there.

    I’m glad you got over the “smelly aversion”! Life can be difficult like that! I hope things go smoothly.

    I used to smell watermelon all the time during my pregnancy.

    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.

  16. Dawn on October 14th, 2007 10:12 am

    I love sambal belachan too. I’m training my hubby to enjoy it now. Great take for the theme!

    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!

  24. Firehorse on October 20th, 2007 7:44 am

    :sad: I never did developed a taste for sambal belacan, shameful nia hor especially 4 someone who grew up in Pg.
