Wonton Mee Attack!

Just a few days ago, I'd a sudden craving for wontons (a type of dumpling commonly found in Chinese cuisines and normally had shrimps/meats filling). Hence, my Hubs and I went for a nice lunch in one of the Chinese restaurant in the city but somehow my craving lingered.... The next day, I'd decided to make my own wontons with noodles ;) Let's just say, it's been awhile since the last time I'd made wontons at home ;).

The final verdict... both my Hubs and I absolutely loved it! I'd used the frozen pure chicken stock that I kept in stock for the soup base and the frozen tiger praws for the wonton fillings. For the noodles, I'd used the dry egg noodles that my cousin brought from Hong Kong for me from her last visit here and mixed it with some sauces. For the last touch, I'd garnished it with some chopped spring onions and boiled "choi sum" vegetables. And that was our simple, delicious and yet healthy Sunday dinner :)

The "Chang" Festival

I love dumplings or in Hokkien "chang" or in Cantonese "chung". The yearly ''chang'' festival falls on May 28. My mum makes the most delicious "chang" ever - not oily, lean meat, chestnuts, egg yolks, red beans hmmmm yummy. After eating her homemade ones, you don't want to eat any others.

Most often, I was disappointed by what I'd bought from the outside sellers, the "chang" tends to be too oily, more pork fats than the meat itself and not much ingredients in it except the glutinous rice and they normally sell it too expensive for that kind of quality of "chang".

This year I hope my mum will make them and freeze it for me so when I'm back, I can fully indulge in it!! Wishful thinking....
