Malaysia, My home, My country


Steam meat dumpling 小笼包
This dumplings were originating from Nanxiang in Shanghai. (南翔,上海),the steam meat dumpling is shaped like a translucent jewel pagoda. With its fillings concocted out of a mixture of ham, ginger, lean meat, the emphasis is very much on the tasty soup in accompaniment. I have tried the best dumpling in Shanghai before, but this one surprised me. (Restaurant Dragon-i )





When the dumpling is served fresh out of the bamboo container, pick up the little gem with chopsticks and put it on a soup spoon. Then bite a little hole on it and suck the steamy gravy out of its filling. Thereafter, with a few slices of chopped ginger and a few drop of vinegar on top of it. What a treat!

Sichuan Style La Mian
La mian, literally means 'pulled noodles' is made by the experienced chefs by pulling the noodles with their expert wrist moment. As La mian is made then and there during serving, it becomes a crowning dish with an inimitable appeal. When this traditional dish spread its wings to the northern and southern province of China, it is diversified into various taste and flavour. This one, tasted a little sour which spice up your taste bud, seduce you for more.
