My Other Elective

Remember me setting a to-do list before the holz? Well, I am really proud that I am doing most of the things I planned to do...like COOKING!!


It could be the boredom of the holz, the realisation that I am turning 22 this November, the need to take charge of the household when mum keeps sis accompanied in hospital this October, or the possibility that I may get sent to some faraway places *fingers crossed* for my pupilage year that spurred me to take up cooking for REAL this time. Not that I couldn't cook prior to this, but the usual stuff I cooked were carbonara pasta, 'special sauce' pasta, korean mee & other instant noodles...


So it is back to basics: cooking bayam, daun ubi keledek, kangkun & frying eggs... sorrie no pics available for that hehe..


Then the other day I fried rice for my sisters and I while my parents went out! They approved of the taste lols..




With the Dumpling's Festival around the corner, mum made dumplings ala nyonya style. I learnt to wrap the dumplings, and was proud this time round, there was no 'leakage' (as opposed to my 1st attempt some time back) when the dumplings I wrapped were boiled.


How could I tell which dumplings were wrapped by me?

U see, I tied a yellow rafia string at the ones I wrapped!! ^_^

Could u spot the dumpling(s) that I wrapped in this pic?


Yummy! Next time, I shall learn how to make the fillings =)
