Dumplings






These dumplings are not those dumplings with meat and all in it. Those with pork and walnuts and salted egg yolk are called bak chang.These are plain and you eat them with syrup. The syrup is made of brown sugar and some other ingredient. They are called kee chang.








This is how the dumpling looks like when it is stripped (unwrapped).











And that is how you eat it. Add syrup to the dumplings. Notice that not much syrup is added. That's because the stingy seller only provides a tiny packet of syrup for the load of dumplings bought. Wonder what they do with the leftover syrup? Use it as face mask? Maybe they use it for spa. And for a tiny dumpling like this, it costs RM 0.60. Depending on where it is bought.

That's why you have to savor it slowly and picture it. haha.
