Hello Skyjuice:)
Fascinating set of photos and fantastic food.
I have not tasted bamboo shoots so far in my life:) Can you believe it?
I have eaten glutinous rice cakes. It is available here in shops.
Your mushroom preparation looks wonderful.
It is so nice to see family people get together on these important occasions and have food together. I suppose grandma is the center of attraction. She pulls them all together under one roof. Happiness, laughter and joy that prevails on these occasions is something to be cherished.
Thank you, Joseph. :-)
Do try bamboo shoots when you get the chance. They aren't easy to find in some other parts of the country especially in big cities, but they're quite common here. My dad has a couple of bamboo trees in the garden.
How do you serve glutinous rice cakes over there? On its own, with sauce or curry?
Yes, my grandma was the centre of attention now that my grandpa was no longer around.
Hi SkyJuice:)
The glutinous rice cake available here in shops is sweet and therefore can be eaten as a snack with tea.
Best wishes:)
Joseph
