Pre-Lunar New Year at Chinatown - Nian Gao
Lunar New Year (29 Jan 06) is just round the corner and Chinatown is once again buzzing with activities. There are many Lunar New Year's foodstuff to buy and ChinaTown is the place to get them. I shall start with Nian Gao (New Year Cake). This brown sticky cake is a must have for all Chinese. The best Nian Gao is sold by Tai Chong Kok, along Sago Street. This shop only specialises in making festival cakes, such as Mooncakes and Nian Gao, and has been around for decades. Hundreds of Nian Gao are sold everyday, during the period leading up to Lunar New Year. The cakes are soft when freshly baked and are to be eaten on the first day of Lunar New Year. By this time it would have harden. Usually, it is cut into small square pieces and lightly fry with flour and egg batter.
