Making Bak Chang Day

As asians that are trapped here down under,
especially a small town that doesn't have a chinatown,
festivals back home are what we really miss.

It was duan wu jie a few days ago,
and all of us are reallllly craving for bak chang,
so we decided to make our own bakchang for the very first time!!!

Steph & Sarah concentrating wrapping the bak chang

Christine and I showing off our 1st successful bak chang!
Phew, wrapping bak chang is not as easy as we thought!

Thanks to Sarah teaching us how to wrap!

After what seems like forever,
Shin finished her first bak chang.
And they said she is making a grenade instead of bak chang.
lol.

Cramming in our unit's living room.

I fried those!!hahas..
I know, not enough dark soy sauce,
and not enough salt!!
The bak chang ended up not salty enough, so have to add soy sauce ourselves =.=

Team work!

Half of the bak chang we made,
The Malaysia version bak chang which is dark.
Sarah made those white bak chang.

Greedily eating the leftover meat and peanuts,
accumulating adipose tissues.


Boiled for an hour and finally....

YESH, the bak changs are done!! yumm yumm.

Christine posing with her nicely pyramidal bak chang

Randomly picking up one, and I got Sarah's white bak chang,
eat it with sugar, yumm!
At least our bak chang looked like bak chang,
although it doesn't taste that much..haha

God I made tau hua too!!
Such a talented cook I am, despite I splash half the soy milk when I am supposed to
"pour the soy milk in vigorously" according to the recipe.
Anyway it turns out nice!!!..hahaha

I am missing the taiping tau hua now =(



**nice cooking experience**
I love cooooooking~

OK this is not related to bak chang.
