Fresh From Lisa's Kitchen - Shrimp and Chicken Dumpling

   Since I was a kid those chicken dumpling became my precious meal. At that moment the price was quite expensive for me so I just ate it couple times after the Sunday school, where there are some Chinese people sell it on the church. Even now the price is still quite expensive if we compare to other. For example the one that I ate on the nearly hospital was IDR 17.000/box (4 big pieces). For your information US $ 1 is equal with IDR 10.000 (approximately). But with that number I can get a plate of rice, chicken and veggies in a small local restaurant a.k.a Warteg.

   The curiosity and the hunger leads me to learn how to make those dumpling. Then voila I found some recipes and combine into the easy one. I went to near supermarket to buy the ingredients and here I go!
