As a kid, we used to eat a lot of momos (type of dumplings native to Himalayas of Tibet), noodles and Wonton Soup. I remember this restaurant where we friends used to visit more than often and spend a lot of time doing all the yap yap 🙂 . The restaurant used to serve amazing chinese food and my favorite was the wonton soup. It was just perfect for those cold winters. The portions used to be really HUGE for one person and yet, I could finish it till the last drop. As far as I can remember, they used to serve about 10 to 12 wontons in a single bowl with lot of vegetables and some bean sprouts! Nothing too fancy about it and yet, there was something in that soup that could always make me smile in every sip and every bite.
After I left Shillong, I tried wonton soup in several restaurants, several places and you guys can easily guess what am going to say next.. It was nothing compared to what I used to eat in Shillong. It’s been quite sometime since I last visited Shillong and I have no clue if the restaurant is still running or not.. but I do hope it does.. and I do hope that someday, I can eat that Wonton soup once again and share the experience with you guys 🙂 Today, I am not sharing my version of wonton soup, but I am sharing my version of Wonton Fried. Yes, that is also one of my favorite, however I never had those in Shillong. I think fist time I had those were in Bangalore from a Chinese takeout near my house.Yesterday, I was feeling too lazy to make the wonton wrappers and so, I bought them from a Chinese shop.
Serve them with the Tangy Minty Dip or any spicy dip of your choice. Sharing this deep fried delight with Seaside Simplicity, with Hearth and Soul Hop by Alex, Dr Laura’s Tasty Tuesday, Delectable Tuesday, Tasty Tuesday
