My hubby knock off early on last Friday, out of the blue, he say he decide to whip up a meal for me that night. Not telling me what he gonna to cook, so I'm really looking forward to rush home straight after work.
He made guotieh for me that night. It wasn't a simple task as he didn't buy those pre-made dough, he do up the dough himself from scratch! That night, is his first guotieh trial, had that with Campbell soup for dinner.
Ever since that old granny decided to wind up her guptieh business at Zion Street, we been looking for many places for that unique taste, but sadly, it no where found. We decide not to give up so we went shopping for ingredients on Saturday evening again.
After shopping, we head home start doing some preparation. Hubby deals with the dough while I prepare the filling for our Sunday dinner, guotieh once again.
We start rolling the skin 3pm this afternoon, it was really tiring as we do not have roller, we roll it out using chopstick & doing our best to make sure the skin is as thin as possible. Frying the guotieh is also a very difficult task, absolutely no flipping of it, when it half done we still need to add some stock to it & fry till it dried up. We spend more than 3hours of preparation before we start eating
Today trial was a success I would say, the taste was quite similar to the old granny's guo tieh, but a little too salty. I guess just a few more practices we can get the taste right soon, even his siblings say our guotieh is good.
The following first two pictures was the guotieh my hubby made last Friday & the last picture is what we made today, isn't that lot of improvement, really have the sense of achievement for this evening result.
