Woke up.
Made some chai tow kway. Classic Teochew food. Especially eaten on lunar new year, which starts in 2 days.
In our #Teochew language, chai tow means “radish or turnip“, while kway means “cake”. The dish was originally from Southern China & Teochew immigrants brought it to Singapore in the late 19th century.
I like eating them by dipping into a soy sauce/red vinegar/hot chili paste sauce mix.
@deirdrebeth We are making more during new year times.
My birthday frequently lands during the New Year celebrations, so I get the joy of all the yummy foods!
@deirdrebeth Same. My 50th is on Feb. 3rd.
Hoping to recover from sickness by then. Off work for a week to get better.
Happy birthday! I do hope you feel better. That's a momentous age so I hope you mark it well. I'm a couple years ahead of you and I'll be gathering with a bunch of girlfriends to celebrate. The hotel we're near always does an amazing New Years art display; I'm looking forward to seeing it again! (The picture was from our visit in 2015)
@deirdrebeth Thank you. We had a birthday getaway planned & I hope to be better by then or we will rebook.
I've seen those on street cookery vids, and they look excellent! I've been intimidated by the sticky texture and steaming process though.
@PhoenixSerenity Chai Tow is also how we call it in Thai
