Before I start with this post, I would like to ask you all a question.
Are you a FAN OF DIM SUM?? :D
I am happy to say that I AM A FAN OF DIM SUM ! :D :D
I am not a Cantonese though :P
Today I am going to talk about Lor Mai Kai (pronounced in Cantonese) ~!
In English, it is called steamed glutinous rice with chicken in lotus leaf wrap.
In Mandarin, it is named as 糯米雞 (Nuo Mi Ji)
AHA! THIS IS THE ONE! :D
This is the original Cantonese version of Lor Mai Kai.
It consists of GLUTINOUS RICE with CHICKEN, CHINESE MUSHROOM, CHINESE SAUSAGE and sometimes DRIED SHRIMP.
And it is wrapped in a dried leaf and steamed.
Doesn't this sounds like the ingredients in dumpling? :P
This type of Lor Mai Kai is usually served in the Dim Sum/ Hong Kong Restaurant.
Another variant of Lor Mai Kai is what we usually see in the normal coffeeshop is the takeaway style :)
Takeaway style is usually served with GLUTINOUS RICE WITH CHICKEN
This is with the chinese sausage!
this is with the chinese mushroom!
it's really RARE to come across Lor Mai Kai is served in this shape. Hahaha!
Unique isn't it? :)
After seeing these photos of Lor Mai Kai, do you have the craving for Lor Mai Kai now?? :)
GO AND HAVE A YUM CHA DATE SOON! :D
