As some of you may already know, our host for this month, Ann of
Anncoo Journal is
unwell. So before I start, I would like to wish her speedy recovery and have a good rest.
So I will be taking over the job this month, with the theme that Ann has suggested
"Dim Sum"!
As we have discussed, Dim Sum is such a huge category of food, so there will be several restrictions.
We
accept all Dim Sum that are
1) Steamed 蒸 - like dumplings (
*update - cooked dumplings accepted too), xiao long bao, siew mai, chee cheong fun, etc
2) Fried/deep fried 炸 - like potsticker, spring roll, jian dui 煎堆 or taro dumpling 芋角, etc
3) Flaky pastry 酥 - like char siew pastry, etc
4) Dishes that are steamed - like steamed glutinous rice, steamed spare ribs, chicken feet, etc
We
do not accept1) Paus/Baos (I know there will be some disappointment here... what's dim sum without the char siew pau, custard pau, but hey, we will be doing this as a separate theme in future.)
2) Tarts and Kuehs (since we have already done this in previous AB before)
3) Desserts/Tong Shui (we will be having this theme soon)
4) Cooked dishes like congee, rice, noodles
Another thing to note is I will be doing this month's AB differently.
