Family was informed by their friends to try Blackbird at the Nielson Tower and asked Mom Violy if she has ever been there before. Mom Violy had no clue what it was asked Carmina to look it up and see what kind of food they serve. Carmina gave the phone number to Mom Violy make a reservation for a family lunch. On the day of the reservation, we arrived early and were allowed to enter before the official opening time of eleven o’clock in the morning. We decided to stay in the lobby, where we were asked if we wanted anything to drink. Carmina took videos inside and learned about the history by talking to the staff. One hour later, people started coming into the restaurant and took their seats at the reservation table, browsing the menu to decide what to order. Our family members were running late, but we didn’t get bored thanks to the friendly staff. More customers kept arriving and placing their orders, and we couldn’t help but glance at their dishes, curious about what ...
Carmina wanted to make her own home-made wonton, but it turns out to be the same lumpia shanghai recipe of Manang V. Only difference my ingredients I added became my own special recipe.
The green onion I had growing in my window used some of it cutting the tips.
I also purchased half kilo fresh shrimp known to use for tempura at Farmers Market.
I couldn't believe the prices of food now realizing I use to live someone's home not fully paying my groceries.
Now, I can relate to my family and friends who has always complained about the expenses they have weekly on food.
We learn to start budget what we can only afford.
One reason I wanted to make my own dumplings having it stocked up in my freezer.
Those days I wanted to just eat soup or fried wanton I can just cook it at home.
Carmina's Special Dumpling Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1/2 Kilo Fresh Shrimp (remove shell, head and clean it)
- 1 - Pack of Molo Wrapper
- 1/2 Kilo Ground Pork
- 1 - Carrot (grated)
- 1/2 Cup Green Onions (chopped)
- Black Pepper (season to taste)
- Salt (season to taste)
- MSG (season to taste)
- 1 Tbsp. - Oyster Sauce
- 1 Egg (beaten)
- 1 Garlic bulb (minced)
The hardest work is when you are cleaning the shrimp because you will remove the shells, head (save it and place in the freezer) and the guts inside on both ends.
We will use a food processor to make portion smaller. I didn't want to use a knife too many when you're doing it alone.
I did the same with the carrot and garlic.
Simple way to get everything done.
Add all ingredients together mixing well place inside a plastic container make sure you test a sample by frying some pieces to see if the taste is alright before you just wrapping each one.
I used a half teaspoon of filling inside each molo wrapper and sealed it with just water.
Storing in Freezer:
Make sure you have a plastic container and having wax paper after each layer or can use what you have in your home.
There are ways you can cook your wonton deep drying to eat it with ketchup or sweet chili sauce with some rice.
Other people add it to a soup base just like what I made recently using instant ramen for my lunch.
All depends on your mood how you feel like eating your wonton.
