Happy Dumpling Festival

Wow... I haven't woke up early to work in a loooong time. So tired and sleepy now...


Didn't even know yesterday was dumpling festival, I kid you not. Immediately tried to place order to Cousin Rain to reserved some Nyonya dumpling for me. Her reply, " Go Fly Kite.."
She said I must be nuts to place order on THE Day.... well I tried.
In this era and day, sometimes it's hard to tell when is the Dumpling festival as people sell Dumplings all year round like mix rice. So you can't blame me for not noticing mer. I bet kids born after 2000 doesn't even know dumpling is a seasonal food.
Dumpling festival always bring back fond memories of my Bodek Didi, He once told me, his ang moh colleague ask about the Moon Cake festival legend and this is what he said,

"Long time time ago, there was 10 suns, a fella come and shoot them all except one. So he became king. But he was an evil king and wanted everlasting life. His wife, being the kind and gentle soul don't want the people to suffer, thus she killed and chopped up his husband and put the parts into dumpling to feed the fish"

Talk about legend fusion. Almost fell down my chair laughing after I heard his story. Worst is innocent ang moh believed him word for word. She must be thinking that is the reason why Eastern Horror Movie is so much more scary than Western one.

"Happy Dumpling festival folks..."

Save me a dumpling if possible....
