These dumplings are from Hua Ting restaurant at @orchardhotelsingapore
Unlike the traditional pyramid shaped dumplings, their signature #HongKong style rice dumpling #香港 裹蒸粽 ($32.80) is shaped like a rectangular golden pillow. It's really so big that I am actually using a 9 inch bamboo basket to steam it. 😂
The dumpling contains a generous amount of premium goodies such as whole #abalone, roasted #duck, roasted pork, dried #scallops, mushrooms, salted egg yolk and #chestnuts ! I liked it because as you can see, there's more 料 than the rice itself. Which makes it very value for money la!
That's also my fav kee zhang with red bean filling 碱水粽 ($6.80) that l I loved to dunk it in sugar and eating it together.
Notice the brilliant sticky golden rice of the kee zhang. The premium #glutinuous rice are treated with lye water which gives them a golden yellow and the core stuffed w yummy #redbean paste.
Both dumplings are available for reservations and takeaways from

It's a happy #toastie day today w my fav #egg mayo, #otah and meat #floss combi today ! Spicy, savory and creamy all in one !
Many has been asking about the #sandwich maker which I've been using. So maybe I shall elaborate abit more here. It's a Japan brand by @recolte_official . Mine is a 2-pin export set that was bought from Korea sometime back so I would need to use an intl adaptor to connect to use.
But.... the good news is, I just learnt that @recoltesg is coming to Sg next month ! So u can be expecting to see these sandwich makers + other #kitchen #appliances under the same brand, which comes suited with local 3 pin plug and warranty, selling in our local market and even in our neighbouring countries like msia and thailand.
So feel free to ask me anything if you would like to know more about these machines, and I would be glad to share all that I know!
In the meantime, happy holiday eve!
Having #fish #dumplings dry mee tak bak #noodles for breakfast.
