The blue should be some colouring. I see before blue nasi lemak rice from some Nonya restaurant.

By right should be blue…or at least most of the nonya zhang I eat is blue. But Kim Choo’s is white.

Kim Choo ones cost $5 each. Normal price ah? Didn't know bazhangs so expensive. Bazhangs are best eaten with soya sauce and pepper. Nomnomnom.

Spot on. I don't eat any of the ones you mentioned haha. Just a Nonya bazhang is good enough!

I am not a fan of Nonya zhang because I find the taste 1 dimensional. It is just minced sweet meats with every bite. 

I like the hokkien and cantonese ones because the ingredients are not mixed together. Each bite of different corners of the zhang will give you different textures and taste, but yet held together by the fatty meat.

Honestly I cannot remember how much I paid for 1. But I think $4 - $7 is normal.

I'm opposite. Cos I need the sweetness of the minced meat to pair with the plain glutinous rice cover. 

I like salty/savory food. But maybe cos i never had a really good hokkien zhang. I don't really like to bite through one gao lak inside... And the gao lak not even roasted type, so even more one dimensional haha [laugh]

I have never eaten zhang with dried oyster before but I think I will like it. It should be a cantonese zhang. Teochew and hokkiens don't seem to favor dried stuff like these so would probably not add them.

I didn't like dried oysters when I was younger but liked it after turning 30s. Don't know why. Maybe taste buds changed. 

In the days that my mother still making bak zhang, she will add pork belly, dry mushroom, dry oyster, chestnut. 

I am hokkien.

Now she don't make anymore as it is too tiring for her, she more 80s.

Your mother's zhang sounds damn delicious. 

I think most of our parents' generation of traditional food got lost in our generation. I am one of those guilty ones too.
