Kuih Bakul

We won't miss kuih bakul every CNY. Previous years, I had my staff's mum who was ever willing to fry the kuih bakul for me. Since my staff had left the company, I hardly had the time or maybe just plain lazy to fry for myself. Mostly I would just give away. But this year is different. Why? Because my hubby already reminded me not to give away!

See, nine of them..

Ok, time to get rid of them one by one..
I cut the sweet potato and one of the kuih bakul.

Fried them..my hubby had two, my girl had one, I had one. 
Two for my Indian friend and the rest for my staff.

The next round will be this Sunday....

Happy Kuih Bakuling..

    hmmm, i didn't know this is called Kuih Bakul, haha, all i know is "Nian Gao" only, ooopsss!!

    yeah, don't give them away as they are auspicious symbols of prosperity and improvements.. probably that's why your boss didn't allow you to give them away?? hahaha..

    nice!! i love the kuih bakul sandwiched between yam and sweet potato and deep fried this way.. so yo only left two for your staff??

    Why did your hubby ask you not to give them away this year? Because of the luck or because he loves to eat it when deep fried?

    I like to eat the deep fried ones but not fry them myself because of the amount of oil needed and the issue of having to dispose the oil myself after that.

    I only knew that Kuih Bakul could be fried with potatoes and yam or dipped into grated coconut. Recently I say the blogger Yee Ling who made potato balls with them! So yummy and unusual.

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
