Simple dish with free and easy side ingredients you wish to put for the dish.
The dough is handmade as you can never ever eat it from outside the Hawker stalls.
I learned how to make the dough from my mother when I was a teenager where I used to help her in the kitchen and household chores.
My mother used to have a stall in the market selling dried groceries. Since young, my elder sister and I will help her mend the market stall and the daily household chores.
Maybe is the interest that I have in cooking and baking. Those day, there were no recipes. What we learn is really through seeing and trying your hand at it. You learn through hands-on and improve from practices.
