Dumpling Dinner + Chicken Rice Dinner
Dumpling Dinner - 25th Sept 2007tuesday was mid autumn festival and my few asian chinese friends and i decided to get together for dinner!! basically we are a clique of taiwan, hongkong and singapore people!! =) no china though. haha.
so we were gonna make... 馄饨面!!! which is called wanton i think? like wanton mee in singapore.. just that it's a little bit different without the char siew and vegetables. it's the more... chinese type of wanton noodles i think.
anyhow, we bought the ingredients we could lay our hands on.. to make our dumplings!!!
the layer of skin needed to wrap it...
mixing, stirring the bowl of minced pork, chopped onions, carrots, mushrooms. it takes alot of force, really.
our pot of soup!!! YUMMY!!! it was really nice... and smells really good.
us learning how to make it from wei-in!!
my virgin wanton!!!
having fun wrapping them.
don't they look fantabulous?
me with the made but uncooked dumplings!
lewis and i.
all ready to eat my bowl of wanton noodles!!!
a sample of it.
for once i get to eat noodles in a bowl with chopsticks and a chinese spoon!!!! and not with western plate, fork and spoon!! i brought the chopsticks and bought the spoon and bowl.
dinner time!! :)
Chicken Rice Dinner - 28th Sept 2007
Apparently, Singapore's Hainanese Chicken Rice (see the irony?) seems to be rather famous and popular among other asians. my taiwanese friends just love chicken rice and have been bugging me to make them since they realized that i bought the prepack over! i must admit that chicken rice is probably one of the best and one of my favourites among all the Singapore food. but... i've never tried making it before.
so we finally found a time when everyone could make it to get together for... a chicken rice feast!!
all the secrets needed to make the wonders for the chicken rice!! my prepacked chicken rice ingredients!! all i had to get was just rice and chicken.
