Bak Chang

It's Dumpling Festival today.  Just realised that last night when I noticed the mushrooming of makeshift stalls selling this delicacy.  At the pasar pagi near my home, the hawkers were promoting their version of 'chang's ~ the hokkien salty ones, the cantonese sweet/salthy...and etc. 

Still prefer the homemades courtesy of  great grandma (Ah Chor).  Hers is so smooth unlike the sticky ones which I bought last night.  Ah Chor knew that I luv mine with lean meat and double yolk minus the 'hei bee' and mushroom.  Usually, I would get my specially wrapped ingredients set aside.  Those were the days....

My mum could made delicious chang too.  She must had picked up some skills from Ah Chor.  However, this year, mum was too weak to make one due to her troublesome arthiritis.  She's unable to bend her knees or sit for too long.  Had reminded mum not to over-exert herself.  Warned her not to make any or else......

Bought 2 huge ones from the market last night.  RM5.80 per pcs...!   My tiny tummy is unable to finish one whole thing.  My tummy gets bloated if I take too much...the pulut tends to get indigestive inside.
Ah Boy enjoyed his share of chang.  The changs were swept clean before I could snap a photo of them.
