Vegetable Dumplings @ Hopoh

Normally, I would eat the filling and throw away the skin. But not these dumplings which I could consume WHOLE!

I liked the vegetable dumplings sold here at Hopoh. They were RM0.70 each. There were in fact 4 flavours, namely mengkuang or jicama, salted vegetable, leek and chives. Today, I bought all 4 types.

What I liked about the vegetable dumpling is the skin. It's rather light and springy, and not soft and floury. Hence, I found it really pleasant to eat. The filling, too, tasted great and was of quite a reasonable amount. The combination of the savoury and crunchy filling, together with the chewy skin was rather delightful.

I saw that they had those pink dumplings in the shape of peaches, but they were filled with savoury chopped peanuts instead of glutinous rice. The pink-coloured skin had the similar texture with the vegetable dumplings, and really complemented the nutty flavour of the peanuts. I loved the simplicity of the flavour!

Anyway .... it's not easy to find delicious vegetable dumplings, so I am really glad to have found the ones which I liked.  My favourites would the chives and salted vegetable. Yums.
