Behind The Scene

I spent the whole night cracking my head, thinking what to cook, and what ingredients should be used in each individual dish last night. The next day (which is today), I started to prepare the ingredients and every other thing needed since 3 something in the afternoon.

Take a wild guess who made all these beautiful dumplings???

Kudos to Ma Le for putting in such a great effort to make 90 pork dumplings for us!!!

Agar-agar with Longan prepared by myself.
