Rice dumpling.. Ooo.. Yummy~!!

Dumpling Festival is celebrated by almost all Chinese across the planet every year in the memory of the drowned Qu Yuan. It falls on 19th June this year d.. Well, heh heh.. Who could forget the delicious rice dumpling and dragon boat racing d?

Initially, i thought it should be easy as every time see mom stuff, wrap and finally tie, and in few minutes, there goes a dumpling. Thus, it must be great if i learn it from mom on live mar right?? (actually is gatal la tangan) And guys, all i wanna say is omg, it's freaking difficult~!! It's all about techniques.. Oh yeah, i must mention that the most frustrated part was certainly the folding of the bamboo leaves part.. Working with a perfectionist was of no fun. *sweat*

Pictures taken after the dumpling session:












above: Crafted by me. Ok, stop it guys.. I know whatcha wanna comment..

below: Golden dumplings made solely of rice. Mom said that these ones are harder to learn. Hmm..

So at last, 3 rice dumplings were done in err... 1 hour.. =.=" against mom's 24 in total. Well, 1:8 is a kinda good ratio achieved by a new learner right?? RIGHT?? (looking for consolations, so pl's..)
