Somewhere else…

My daughter loves these…

…but since I became ultra-sensitive to msg, I’ve stopped going to the place where we used to go as I seem to feel uneasy after eating probably due to the excessive use of the stuff.

I’ve tried a number of other places but did not think they are up to the mark.

Pian sip, as these are called, are our local Foochow-style wantan but the skin is very different – whitish, thinner and soft – not chewy or firm as in the case of wantan skin. Cooking it, as in the case of kampua noodles as well, can be quite a challenge as you would need to do it just right – not overdone lest it becomes too soft and soggy.

The other day, I decided to try the ones here (RM2.50)…

…and I liked it a lot.

The meat looks a bit more substantial than at other places, the texture of the skin was just right and the amount of ingredients used to toss the pian sip as well. I also noticed that the lady adds chopped spring onions to the meat…

…which further enhances the taste of the pian sip and makes it nicer.

I certainly would take my daughter to this one when she comes home…
