Chicken balls

So, as a Chinese person, I have a confession to make. Up until yesterday, there was an item on the "Canadian"/whitified Chinese food menu that I'd never tried before - chicken balls. Don't get me wrong. I do know what they are, and I have seen them before. I've also seen other people eat them before. It's just that I myself had never tasted this battered, chicken-filled.....sphere....before.

So what occasion brought about such a monumental (hah!) event? Well, Zin and I went up to Brampton (yes, even with the ridiculous amount of snow, as well as the terrible driving conditions!) for the Nobleton Farm Service, etc., company dinner at the Mandarin. The subject of chicken balls got brought up with Norma (their neighbour up in N.dot.). So yes, I gave one a try. It wasn't terribleeeeeeee, but I have definitely eaten tastier things in my lifetime. Hehe!

And that is the story of my very first chicken ball. :P
