Shrimp Hakaw Recipe

 On my very first dates with Chef Nolz, one of our favorite places to eat is a Chinese restaurant located in Banawe, Quezon city. My good friend would always recommend a Shrimp Hakaw. We loved it the first try!  It became one of our favorite Dimsum in an instant. As years go by, our taste changed and we crave for premium and authentic taste. Places serving authentic Chinese dimsum are mostly outdside our city, so to cut the story short, Nolz came up with his own recipe that we do at home. Here is our Shrimp Hakaw Recipe . This is our personal recipe , needless to say , this Dimsum recipe should be your favorite too !
