We eat. A lot.

Last week at Teck Kee Tanglin Pau, I bought the following for the five mouths in our family:

  • 4 char siew pau (bbq pork pau)
  • 2 tai kai pau (big chicken pau)
  • 2 big pork pau
  • 2 ma lai kao

While the vendor was packing up my stuff, she asked the next customer, a very skinny woman, what she wanted.

“Two siew mei,” she said.

Two meat and shrimp dumplings in wonton skin about the size of ONE (1) char siew pau. (Compare plate sizes and you shall see.)

Is it any wonder that I still have 10 pounds of pregnancy weight to lose?
