Kuala Lumpur ---> Kuching Day 2 and 3 ---> Kuala Lumpur Day 3


















Breakfast was at Jalan Alor (Again?) as it was just opposite where we stayed and our room didn't include breakfast. 

I had Dimsum RM16 and Wanton Noodles RM5


















As our flight to Kuching was at 2pm +, we skipped our lunch. After reaching Kuching, we went to try the famous Kolo Mee for Dinner. RM4 only!

Next Morning, we had Breakfast at the hotel we are staying, Hilton Kuching




































Tomato Juice to start the day!

















My 1st Round

















My 2nd Round

















My 3rd Round, the famous Sarawak Laksa. I find it got a funny taste and i still like my singapore version best, with loads of cockles! 

















My 4th Round
















My 5th and last round
If you are curious, the cost of the buffet is RM41++

















In between Breakfast and our evening flight back to KL at 7.50pm, we went round shopping along the grand bazaar. We took a break at Ipoh town white Coffee for teabreak special. RM5 for this set. 

After a 1h40min flight and a 1h bus ride, we checked into our KL hotel past 11pm. Feeling hungry, we went to a Indian coffeeshop for our dinner/supper.

Chinese Dimsum Shao Mai (燒賣) Recipe 2

















 


















This is a famous Cantonese Chinese snack, called 燒賣. Its found in virtually all chinese restaurants in south east asia. My version is different from the restaurant's chefs that i use ready made wanton wrappers to make. Considered as one of the top 3 famous dimsum, this is the easiest of the 3. The other 2 being the Prawn Dumpling (蝦餃) and Char Siew Bao (叉燒飽)

Ingredient
 
1 packet wonton wrappers
500g Minced Pork
200g Prawns, finely chopped
1 stalk Spring Onion, chopped

Marinade

1 egg 
1/4 cup of water
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp pepper

Method

1. Mix the marinade in a bowl, big enough to hold the Pork and Prawns
2. Place Pork and Prawns in the marinade with spring onions.
3. Put the filling by using a teaspoon into the wanton wrappers
3. Steam the 燒賣 for around 15 minutes.
4. Enjoy!
