Help! I’m just a month here in the US and my sister craves for Ma Chang, the dimsum rice wrapped in leaves. She asked me to make one for her. Though we have some filipino-chinese recipe books here, none of them has the recipe for ma chang. I hope you can help me out with the recipe. Please send it through my email address written above. Thanks.

Just to let you know , I was successful with bringing fresh porcinis back last month…just bought them at Campo dei Fiori in Rome at 6 am, loaded them on a create packed with some paper, together with 2 crates of pachino tomatoes, red and yellow capsicums nearly aten inches long and maybe ten inches in circomference, Italian garlis, fennel, rughetta and my favorite late spring green egretti…..off to the airport at 8, had the crates wrapped at the Rome airport at that machine that cling wraps your busted luggage etc…and took off with the produce and my luggage at noon straight to Manila…the even bigger thrill was unpacking my “gold” at the Pepato kitchen when I arrived….seeing my porcini only slightly moist was the biggest HIGH in the world!!!!! Too bad I could bring in the mushrooms 2 times more after, since the heat in Italy shortened the season…thanks to my resourceful Filipina friends in Rome who run a brokerage business and travel agency for our hero Filipino brothers in Italy for allowing me to bring little parts of Italy to our shores when they can….by the way MM, that shipment was partly served at the “shool board” dinner…
