happy new year!

gong hei fat choy! happy new year!

from year of the golden pig to the year of the earth rat, hopefully this year will be full of vitality and activity!
i began the new year home alone (mcduck and snowflake both went "home", leaving me home alone!)- but luckily i am surrounded by festive foods which i've prepared earlier! yummo... at least i won't be hungry...

there is chinese radish cake (lor bak koh)...

and chinese taro cake (wu tao koh)... and also coconut nien koh (not shown, hiding in the fridge)... i also managed to make a few extras to give to friends...

cooking tip - 4 Al containers (from smart buy coles) would fix snuggly in a fish kettle for steaming, and would end up pretty good in size for slicing into small pieces to be pan-fried...

the recipe for coconut nien koh is really good!

and i still have the megaly huge, gigantically enormous duck eggs... just look at the yolks! they are on steroids!! the yolk is at least worth 1 - 2 tbsp full in volume...
