Wantan dumpling
I was too tired to go grocery shopping on saturday. So like or not I had to do it yesterday. Breakfast destination is Mamak Ampang Indah. While I only had toast and half-boiled eggs, Aiyin asked for Puri and Faiz, thosei. Leisurely waded through the sunday papers.
While picking the vegetables, Faiz whispered that he wanted to make and eat wantan dumplings. Hehehe.. not that I have ever made them myself. Why not give a shot. I grabbed the wantan skin, water chestnuts, prawns and chicken breast. After paying for 2 cartloads and one basket of groceries, we headed home.
Oh no.. next stop.. Pasar Tani. I bought some flowering plants to brighten up the house and it has been some time since I gave Anne a pot to cheer up her kitchen.
Gave Faiz explicit instructions on the preparation of the dumplings' 'inti'. Had to repeat instructions at various stage of preparation. Hahaha.. bagi arahan macam lah pernah buat. Tengok orang buat pun belum pernah. So.. it was..
1. Mince the prawn.
2. Mince the chicken.
3. Peel the water chestnuts and mince it too.
4. Add in minced garlic.
5. Mix all above and add in salt and pepper to taste.
6. Add in cornflour to hold mixture together. (I forgot this step but it still turns out ok).
7. Wet the edges of the wantan skin. Plonk in a teaspoon of minced mixture (not too much or the dumplings will burst).
8. Seal edges.
9. Cook dumplings in boiled water (add a bit of salt in water).
10. Cook chicken soup using the remaining chicken bones.
11. Ladle chicken soup over the wantan dumplings.
Albeit missing step no. 6, the wantan dumplings was a success.
~~~
It was raining too hard for me to go to Haji Fadzil's daughter's wedding kenduri. But later in the evening, Faizal came back with the nasi and lauk lebih. He was one of the penanggar.

Earlier on, in the morning, Faizal borrowed my camera and headed off to the PBSM headquarters. He was about to receive some award.
If only he is as hardworking earning a living as he was at voluntary work... Ahhhh..
