we wanted to share some chinese new year goodies! and I bet you didn't know May is a rabbit!
and how perfect is it to have some legendary white rabbit candies? Its the one right in the middle of our candy try. A soft/chewy condensed milk candy is a must for every year, not just the year of the rabbit.
the cookie dumpling is one of my favourites. my mom always knows the best place to buy them, they have a crispy cookie shell and is filled with sugar, peanuts, coconut and sesame! The yellow jello-like yummies are is a "goh" or cake, that is made of water chestnuts.
these are turnip cakes that i pan fried for lunch the other day. the Li family likes to dabble a little worchester sauce on it, we often get a weird look from dim sum ladies when we do that.
and finally, we have here "lean goh", which is the new year cake. It is pudding cake that is made from glutenous rice flour and a specific bar of brown sugar. It is then steamed in bamboo leaves and guess what? My grandma made this! unfortunately i was out of town, so i didn't watch her make it this year.
on behalf of May, we'd like to wish you all a happy chinese new year! Its going to be a great year! We know it.
oh and for those patiently waiting for the best of brunch post, its coming! its my fault, i'll post it next i promise! =]
