Allo… happy Chinese New Year!
This used to be the oh-so-happy-time when u get enriched with goodies & snacks and ‘bombarded’ with ang-pows (red-packets w $ inside).. it was a favourite time of year when I was growing up.
For some reason… it’s fascination got lost on me as i grew older…
But this year has been a rather fun one. We went on a cruise (kindly sponsored by my parents) to Langkawi, Malaysia… had some good family times.. and then did a fair bit of visitations with relatives we haven’t seen in ages.
Joshua & Emily was particularly happy.. munching away at tons & tons of candy and snacks and sweet drinks!
Meanwhile, I had the joy of enjoying some good ol’ buah keluak…
For those not so familiar.. this is the unique Nonya dish, cooked with plenty of spices. It’s some kind of seed, and you eat the insides.. it’s mushy, looks like slushy mud.. but ooooh, it tastes so good. Oh course, it’s acquired taste.
yum yum. i love it too!
haha! yay! i’ve found a pal who loves to eat bua keluak! *high 5!* it’s my all time favourite nonya dish! i can just have it for my 3 meals.
