How come a meat dumpling comes into the posts I do not know. Maybe I was a bit hungry. From the time it was made till it was steamed takes some doing. But the Siew Mai is forever such sweet and savoury dumping that we cannot do without.
I knew from the time I was young, ever since I heard it’s name, I decided I would like it and still does. Amen, I still fall in love with steamed dumplings. I remembered it filled up my stomach and a bit more. The crab meat at the top did the job of securing the top notch , as a sumptuous food for me, first time ever great food for me.
The yellow skin is another quality that did it for me. Such a bland taste that when it mixes with the conditioned mince pork, it did it for me to name it the best savoury food for all time. It is so basic, yet it encompasses all aspects of beating the hunger.
Not to say the basic ones are not restaurant beaters. The restaurant ones are such a world beater in the same stage. Serve it wherever you are and you are still there. I mean the quality is. I remembered the best Siew Mai I ever had. My auntie May and our Uncle decided its time to bring the three boys out for dinner. Not to say young kids didn’t know how to appreciate food. But years later we remembered back the similar taste but the restaurant may be long gone. So, us kids, we hang out at the back of the car while we are driven to the restaurant. To cut a Long story short, the steamed dumplings I remembered it well. Every time I had Siew Mai, I would drag the status quo out and compared it with the time we went and had tze char and the owner brought out the Siew Mai. I still compare it then and still hasn’t forgot.
