I HAVE TASTED MALAYSIAN Bah Chang DUMPLING, VIETNAMESE BAH CHANG AND NOW... MEXICAN BAH CHANG!!
Yes, Mexican choong or dumpling as my sister nicknamed it cos it is very similar to our Asian dumplings. In actual name, this Mexican is called Tamales. First time I heard of it, yours truly is really "backdated" one... never seen, never tasted it before my entire 50 years of life till few days ago!
Here is what a Tamales look like....
Tamales aka Mexican choong wrapped in tradition corn husk....
Yes, look like a "jagung" to me....
Need to steam it first before eating... just like our local dumplings...
When stripped of its skin, it looks like this....
Stone ground corn....
Upon dissecting, it is like that...
Beneath is a chunk of meat....
Making a big mess out of a Tamales....
Yes, I like the taste....
A bit spicy inside...
Definitely easier to digest than our local glutinous rice dumplings...
If this Tamales is filled with yellow beans, salted egg, mushroom, meat...
Then PERFECT!!
Anyway, someone sure loves this... Anytime!!
