Osmanthus Jelly ~贵花糕

I believe everyone have heard of Osmanthus flower. If you have not, just Google it. Nowadays everything can be Google and you will find an answer. Even my youngest knows how to Google a word for its spelling...lol   

 Osmanthus flower is the third type of flower i am using to make a dessert. It is a native plant in the warm temperature zone country. The flower is small, yellow in color and it carries a lovely strong and sweet fruity aroma, which is likened apricot and peach. In China it is named Gui Hua (桂花) Chinese used these flowers to make dessert and tea. 
Osmanthus Jelly (桂花糕 )

Strong and sweet fruity aroma of peach and apricot

These fragrance Osmanthus Jelly is so refreshing. 
What can i ask more in a warm weather like this :p

Shark Fin Dumpling ~鱼翅饺

This Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow), is one of my favorite dumpling. Although it is named Shark Fin Dumpling, but they contain no actual shark fin in it. Some say the look and shape of the dumpling does look like shark fin and other do include in imitation shark fin, though. I am lucky to have spotted this long hibernating in the book shelf chinese dim sum book ‘香港地道小吃’ translated as 'Hong Kong Authentic Tapas' Well， Do, you find this look like Shark's Fin?? 看看形状像不像鱼翅呢？？  Filling for the ingredients are prawn, mince meat, carrot, yam bean and black fungus. Get ready the filling and the wanton wrappers. This is the parade of my Shark's Fin dumpling ... lol Homemade parchment paper liner. Arrange them neatly into the bamboo steamer. HOT! HOT!
