Happy Chinese New Year!

Today is officially the Chinese New Year of the Rat - we are back to the first animal of the Chinese astrological cycle. We celebrate by eating nin go (new year cake) and loh baak go (turnip cake).











The cakes are lightly fried in oil - crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside.











nin go (sweet - made from cane sugar and glutinous rice flour)











and loh baak go ( savoury - made from grated turnip, rice flour, with little bits of shrimp and chinese sausages).

May you have a prosperous year full of good health and a happy life :)
