Dumpling Making

posted Mar 12, 2009 9:26 AM by Kai Mun Lee
The annual dumpling festival is just round the corner.  In keeping tradition with the School, the PSG will once again be working with the School in teaching our new Secondary one girls, the fine art of dumpling making in the morning of Thursday, 21 May 2009.  Lay Yian, one of our PSG members, will be guiding the girls through the process of dumpling making together with the help of parent volunteers.

We are now seeking your support and help to assist Lay Yian in this project.  If you know how to make dumpling, please come along on Thursday, 21 May 2009 morning and join us in this very meaningful activity.  Do bring your mums along too as she can be in the Quality Control Team.  I'm sure grandmas would be proud to show off their expertise and at the same time have fun.  Let's make it a 3 generations activity.  Well, not forgetting the dads and Granddads.  They are most welcome too.  

 
If you are a novice, not to worry, this is the chance for you to pick up the skill of dumpling making.  Lay Yian has kindly agreed to hold a special session prior to the Dumpling Making Day.  She will demonstrate and teach you in advance so that you can help out on the 21 May.   Kindly register with us by emailing to nyghpsg@gmail.com if you wish to attend this Dumpling Making Demonstration session, details as follows:
