ya... eat is fun but once u've been through all preparations every year, u know how torturous it can really be... prep work starts a week ahead, with the leaves being soaked and wiped daily... then we have friday night where we cooked the fillings for the dumplings... cutting took hours to mince and cut all ingredients for the dumplings... once everything was done it was close to 2am...
and cos i had to work half a day and we've decided to cut down the quantities to half this year, i only started wrapping in the afternoon... the routine started....
leave, rice, meat, tau sar, rice, fold and tie.... that went on for 80 dumplings... with 8 having double tau sar... hahaha... cos there wasn't enough meat to go around... left the cooking to my sisters and my mum... whom without we wouldn't have been able to learn this wonderful family dish...
here's the bunch!! all the hard work of so many ppl.... yummmy!!!!
after all was done, i hopped onto the massage chair and just KOed... too tired and still nursing an aching back from the overtime work during the last week in KFELS... then my sisters took turns to slp on the chair after their massage sessions too.. hahaha... so funnny....
woke up today at 4 plus wanting to go to work somemore... hahaha.... crazy!! then went to the markets with my mum to get all the prayer stuff ready to cook at home and settled everything by 12 plus jus now... cleaned up the house a little and here i am!! typing on my laptop for the first time in quite a few days.... still tired and will be dropping into my bed for a while again later... hahaha....
hope everyone has a good time eating their dumplings too!! =)
