Dumplings From Friends & Home Made BBQ Pork

Dumplings Festival was celebrated yesterday (100th day MCO). No morning walk because it was drizzling when we woke up.
 Sunrise at 7:32 am
 A friend came over the previous day to give us 2 home made dumplings or bak chang. 
 I re-steamed the bak chang from my friend for breakfast. Hubby had the one with the black eyed beans and I had the one with mung beans. It had 1 salted egg yolk, 1 chestnust, 1 mushroom and 2 pieces of pork belly.
 A satisfying and filling breakfast.
 Later in the morning, a friend sent her husband to deliver 2 home made bak chang to us.
 Keeping these in the fridge for another day's breakfast or maybe lunch.

Bak chang or glutinous rice dumpling is a traditional Chinese food. It is made of glutinous rice stuffed with different fillings and wrapped in bamboo leaves and tied with reed. It is then cook in boiling water for 2 to 3 hours.
 Exotic Caladium from my garden.

Dinner
 Melt in the mouth pan cooked bbq pork or char siew.
 Sambal petai or stinky beans left over from the previous day's dinner.
Simple home cooked dinner for 2 people
Steamed rice for hubby and oat porridge for me.

    1. Thank you, Mun. Yes, I have friends who make tasty bak chang. I have helped my mom and aunt made bak chang and I have also made bak chang on my own but that was a long time ago. Maybe I will make again one of these days. Still contemplating.
