Long time

Well well...

It's been a long long time since I wrote anything here. Not that anyone was in a hurry to know what's going on in my life. Those closest, shall I say, know it no matter how.

Had a chat with C last night after my newly found passion: Jiu Jitsu. I was tired and awfully bruised and feeling seriously in need of some motherly guidance. She was like: na, it's gonna be cool. You will do fine. What's the worst could happen?

The thing is: in my absent time I kind of fell into one of those old school cliche. Through my struggling; I somehow got into Jiu jitsu and some kind of hard Ashtanga yoga after kick boxing.

I am not even sure if this is the aftermath of my much delayed TW trip or the effect of someone who just never cares enough.

So in stead of screaming and shouting. I let myself be bruised and went traveling.

After all, I thought it was my idiotic decision at the first place to bring me here. I'd better to make a wise  choice to take me out of where I don't want to be.

And this brings me to the foolproof shrimp dumpling recipe.

It didn't work the first time and maybe it still didn't work the 10th time.

But No-one, no-one can tell you that you cannot make it work.

As long as your heart is at the right place.  You gotta keep at it!

Here is my heart-felt Har Gau wrapper recipe:

2/3 cup of wheat starch
1/4 tapioca flour
a small pinch of salt
1.5 tbsp oil
1/2 cup of boiling hot water

MIX! with a fork and your hand afterward.

This recipe makes 16 wrappers. Don't roll it too thin and be very careful about it- roll them between the baking papers.

Choose what you want for fillings.

You can do it!

Let's keep it up; in the kitchen and everywhere else!
