What's New?

Nothing is really new, as Angeline continues to blog about food.

Angeline's papa and mama is crazy (literally) about 'Rice Dumplings'. As the Rice Dumplings Festival approaches, Angeline's papa bought 30 'Red Bean Rice Dumplings' and Angeline's mama bought 30 'Nonya Dumplings'. Angeline is wondering what happened to her favourite 'Salted Rice Dumplings'. On second thoughts, Angeline remembered that there was an increase in the prices of the raw ingredients for making 'Rice Dumplings', thus the cost of 'Rice Dumpling' was said to have increased by at at least 20% (as compared to the previous years). Angeline is beginning to wonder why are Papa and Mama spending so much money on 'RICE DUMPLINGS'. In Angeline's opinions, the money would have been better utilized if Angeline spends it on the Great Singapore Sale.

Believe it or not? Up till now, Angeline has only eaten 1 'Red Bean Dumpling'. It left Angeline wondering what has happened to the remaining 59 dumplings, as Angeline failed to see any left in her kitchen. Oh well!

Where to find the best 'Rice Dumplings'? Angeline also don't know. Angeline can only remembers that her maternal grandmother is able to wrap saliva-drooling 'Red Bean Dumplings' and her paternal grandmother can wrap finger-licking 'Salted Rice Dumplings'. Unfortunately, one passed away and one had suffered a stroke. So, Angeline doesn't get to enjoy excellent home-made 'Rice Dumplings' anymore.
