Of Dumplings & Men

Ok, so I'm cheating a little here by "back-date" posting, but since the "dumpling" festival only just passed on sat, it's not too late yet, is it :P Well, there's revealation for me this year: I've never eaten a "Ki Zhang" in all my 22 years. Not till this year! Courtesy of ML's grandma cooking no less. This is the kind of dumpling that is smaller than the usual ones that come stuffed with fillings and the glutinous rice is slightly yellow in colour when cooked. You're supposed to eat it with certain kind of condiments (sugar, kaya, dark soy sauce, etc) and RB kindly provided me with some wholesome natural honey from his fridge :) EXCELLENT combination. Accordingly, half of the credit goes to RB as well for this wonderful culinary discovery of mine. How apt, two of my best friends each pitched in with their own ways to this: ML's family's excellent cooking and RB's family's healthy but still tasty foods. I apologise for the lack of pics as I gobbled down the only "Ki Zhang" ML gave me before any pic taking thoughts crossed my mind. Yes, I'm a pig. Proud to be one too. Shall leave ya with some cute pics fifi sent to me instead, pertaining to "zhangs" of course!
