Greetings from two Chinese-Indian grandsons to their grandparents....with hilarious effects...S and D, gotta touch up your Chinese!

Every Kids' Dream: ...and every dentist's nightmare. The infamous CNY goodies tray...and the perfect invitation to cavities and weight gain...

Blame it on the XX chromosomes of les femmes- the vainer sex of the homo sapiens will undoubtedly " stick in nineteen hairpins" to be peacocks whenever they got the chance...

No matter old...

Or young...

The truth is: We Women Can Rock!

UP next....why does all the ladies in kebaya have a balloon at their feet?

YEESH!!! IT IS STAMPED OR GET STAMPED!!!!

The truth is, women of the new millennium got stronger, tougher, and er...rougher...

Wonder would Amah faint at this sight...

Waahhh....so hiong lo...must take picture...

Qiang qiang qiang qiang....The final two cockerals...er..hens facing off...GO!

And the winner goes to...

" Ngek ngek ngek...This muar is specially made for getting rough...Please call o1x-xxxxxxx for reservations on Ms Hiong's Special Battling Muar~

Baking Day: Chap Goh Meh is not only the Chinese Valentines' Day...It is also the massive ang ku, bee gou and huat kueh baking day...

Presenting the sifu....

and this is how much we made: shocking

The red ones are ang kus ( savoury green bean paste stuffing), pinky stuff is huat kueh ( literally mens Cake of Prosperity) and the white stuff with something brown and dark red on top ( which is dried cat's eye and red dates) are bee gou ( which is Glutinous Rice Pudding. The toppings are as a sign of reversal, as the white color of the pudding is considered unlucky)

Tomatoes? Nay...these are a variation of ang ku called ang ee...Ee is " roundness", symbolic of unity in family. The problem is, they are suppose to look red, but my bad, I made the skin too thin...and they turn up anemic.

Someone donate some O positive please.

By the way, did you know that even in the world of cakes and pastry, there are difference of sex?

Take a look at the Male side:

And the Female...

Pssst...Actually, the female one is easier to make...They don't stick into the mold like the males...But I stand on the neutral side...^^
