粽子(zongzi) or dumplings isn't just reserve for festivities. A good satisfying dumpling is good for any time especially breakfast with some good chinese tea to wash it down.
One of our random drives brought us to Kuala Kubu Baru. And we discovered some awesome dumplings there. Sold exclusively at the morning market, we now resort to a special order and will pick it up for our lunch after a satisfying touge. Check out our happy faces with the dumplings!
And the savoury ones that this Aunty makes is simply awesome old fashion dumplings with simple yet flavourful ingredients that includes yellow pea, pork, salted egg, mushrooms and dried shrimps. At only RM3, this is quite a power packed bundle with its simple stuffings and fluffy glutinous rice
At only RM3 this is a good buy and I am not surprised that many people actually call her up for a special order! A special order means you can opt for other treasures such as scallops or abalone.
If you're in Kuala Kubu Baru, head down to the market and buy some for breakfast. Or like us, make your orders with this friendly Aunty 017 327 2092. Remember to speak to Aunty in Cantonese or Mandarin!

I love dumplings, especially those with salted egg-yolk! I want, I want!
ReplyDeleteyes..salted egg is (almost) a must in dumplings. Love it when its almost a whole yolk. Some places are rather stingy...barely 1/8th of a yolk!

ReplyDeleteI haven't had zong zi for years. My auntie used to make some really delicious ones, sadly she's passed. I miss the taste of the dumpling a lot.
