Nowadays we can savour zongzi (粽子) or chang or chung or rice dumplings or "whatever you called it" all years round. The most popular one is Bak Chang or Ham Yuk Chung (Steamed glutinous rice with soya sauce stuffed with fatty pork, sausages, chinese mushroom, dried prawns, chestnut, salted egg yolk and beans which are wrapped up in bamboo leaves. Another oily and sinful delight.
I still remember helping my mother preparing the ingredients and wrapping up & tied the chang prior to cooking. Those were the good old days.. Haven't do that since I left home to further my studies more than a decade ago. Nowadays everything becomes more expensive. One huge Bak Chang cost RM 4.Albie Kor, since no lormaikai, bak chang or ham yuk chung also will do, right? Since the taste is similar ;)

Nyonya chung is it the one with the black-eye beans? U knowlah, chung have many different names :P
I haven't eat the alkaline dumplings or kan sui chung or kee chang for ages already... (so many names for the same thing, haha)
chup!!! 3rd yay!
I was just going to ask you when is this Duan Wu Jie. Thanks!

That day I bought a nyonya chung from the Auntie Buah... RM3.50! So expensive and nothing much inside also... She said, sedap, got sambal, got meat... But me thinks not sedap oso... Mama's wan 10x more sedap...

wah~ hahahah I like my ah ma's bak zhang` super nice` hahahahha home made bak zhang is the best. :P *droooooooooolsss and float the dragon boat* ahhaha` jk :P
hehe when i was small, i used to call it MY festival cuz it's got the word 端 inside. :-)
Bak Chang... i want bak chang... stomach growling now...
Difficult to find good nyonya chung..of course nothing is ever as good as homemade ones. Nyonya chung, to me, are the sweet & salty ones with peanuts, cekur, glaced wintermelon and some other ingredients.
But the normal salty ones are nice too. Can eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
angel,
so "hang fopk". Home made chang is always the best ;)
Hah? meme again ah? So many meme this month :P I will do it one of these days..
ben,
home made one is the best cos there's "love" component inside --> ♥♥♥ made the chang more delicious ;)
Btw, u drool near the Sarawak River can liao, don't drool near my house. I dowan flood, hahhaa..
yd,
Woo.. so 端 is the chinese word for d in your name? I presume bak chang in UK is very expensive and not as nice as the one back home.
