On this day, most of the families will bring their children to the beaches or to watch people sailing dragon boats. Normally, there will be a competition seeing which team can sail their dragon boat faster. Well, there is also a history on this day which is originated from ancient China relating to the suicide of a poet or statesman, Qu Yuan. *I am not going in depth on this history - history is boring!! :P*
BUT, on this day, there is A-Must-Eat food i.e. RICE DUMPLINGS!! *drools when I think of it* It is made of glutinous rice stuffed with different fillings, for e.g. mushroom, pork meat, peanuts, salted duck eggs, chestnuts, chinese sausages (lap chiong), dried shrimp (ha mi) etc which later wrapped with bamboo leaves and steamed for hours until cooked. You can customise the filllings based on your preferences. Some old folks like to make sweet dumplings where their fillings are red bean or green bean paste and are dipped with sugar. *yummy*
I really miss having dumplings, especially those made by my Mummy. I have not been eating dumplings for the past 12 months ><'! I don't care! When I go back to Sabah, I gonna stuffed myself with dumplings. Perhaps I will go get one when I go shopping later. :P
Out of topic:-
1. 1st round of CLP revision classes have come to an end. BAC will start the 2nd round revision classes soon. I am glad that yesterday was the last day of revision class but it somehow saddened me again because this indicates that CLP exam is getting closer. :( Nevermind, I will still strike to the best!!! *Aza Aza Fighting!!!*
2. Yeah, I am going back to Sabah on 18th June and only will be back on 30th June - 2 weeks holidays before my CLP exam on 25th July. :D I might have missed some classes on weekends, so my friends, you all what to do lah~ *ngek ngek ngek* and thanks in advance for the notes!! LOL..
Okie, gonna take my bath and go shopping or I would rather say - go hunting for rice dumplings! :) Have a nice day and enjoy eating dumplings! ;)
Emm..irresistable dumplings! :)
