Happy Valentine's Day!!

春天不遠了 Spring is Almost Upon Us

過年前蒸了很多糕點，都是為了做給孩子們走時帶回去吃的。發覺自己的行為愈來愈像以前的母親 ...

書的中文版已寫完，英文已翻譯了一半；還有補圖、完成之後的校對等等工作 ... 要做的事情雖仍不少，但是，春天也不遠了！

I've prepared so much New Year food before Chinese New Year, for my children to take back when they leave. I find myself copying the things my mother did subconsciously ...

The Chinese writing of the book is finished, the English translations also half way through; there's still a fair bit of work to do ... at least, spring is almost upon us !

甲午年新春大吉 Happy Year of The Horse 2014

一 切準備就緒，等待孩子們回家慶團年 ～  ♪♥ 

在此，恭祝大家馬年健康快樂、四季平安、如意吉祥!!

Everything is ready now, just waiting for my children come home to have our New Year’s reunion dinner ～  

Wishing everybody a Happy, Healthy and Blissful year of the Horse!! 

客家蒸鹽雞 ( 賀年菜式 ) Steamed Salted Chicken ( Chinese New Year Food )

過年過節之前，相信都是主婦們最忙碌的時間；因為我們都想為家人親友準備好各式各樣的應節美食。

In Chinese tradition, the run up to the New Year or any festival is always a very busy time for us housewives or people who enjoy hosting for family and friends, because of the amount of food we have to get ready!

五香鹹煎堆 (賀年小吃) Five Spice Pork Sesame Seed Balls (Chinese New Year food)

今次我要繼續我的懷舊食譜！上次跟大家介紹了我們都愛的街頭小吃「砵仔糕」後；在香港長大的朋友，你們還記得那些一起在小車中同時出售的「五香鹹煎堆仔」嗎？

This week, I'm continuing with my nostalgic recipes! In my last post I made Red bean rice flour puddings - one of my favourite Hong Kong street foods from childhood and, I'm sure, a lot of other people's favourites as well. Do you remember the little five spice pork sesame seed balls, which were always sold alongside the puddings in those days?

紅豆砵仔糕 ( 賀年小吃 ) Red Bean Rice Flour Pudding ( Chinese New Year Food )

對在香港長大的我和很多人來說，砵仔糕是我們童年的心愛食物之一。每每提起，仍會勾起不少緬懷的回憶和思念。

To those of us who grew up in Hong Kong, " Put Chai Ko" -   Red Bean Rice Flour Pudding, was one of our favourite childhood foods. Even just talking about it now inevitably brings back lots of nostalgic feelings and fond memories.

新年快樂 Happy 2014
