A Valentine's Day Cake ?

As you can see I love cakes. Since Valentine's Day is here again, I am quite curious - is there a special Valentine's cake, compared to Christmas log cake or Chinese new year "Nian Gao" ? I checked, well seems there isn't. But people do celebrate with cakes & beautifully decorated ones. Here's one I thought is pretty cute.

So cute Right ?

We should keep the tradition alive & have some Traditional Chinese New Year Cake aka Nian Gao

After the fruit cake success for Christmas last year, I can't help but was wondering about the traditional Chinese New Year cake. Well this is still the CNY period, in fact yesterday I had dinner with some buddies & we had Lo Hei ,Yusheng ( Prosperity Toss ). Yum

Back to the CNY cake. I couldn't help but notice this tradition is slowly waning. I remember when I

I love it!!!

was a kid, mum would buy a couple each year & she would fried it with some egg batter & it tasted heavenly. I missed it.

For the pass 3,4 years, this traditional dish is missing. And no one seems to have miss it :(( In fact I don't even see many stalls selling it.

I figure in say 10 to 20 years from now, it might be completely gone, taken over by the pineapple tart probably :(( How sad!
We should keep the tradition alive & have some Traditional Chinese New Year Cake this year.

An Update of my Christmas Fruit Cakes ....lol...

Ok , I did not bring 3 but 4 fruit cakes to the Christmas Party I was talking about. And they were a BIG HIT.... surprise !!!!! See no one remember to buy any Log Cakes or any cakes for that matter. They had catering but it wasn't that good, probably because it's Christmas & everyone is working their ass off in the catering business!

Anyway....My Log Cakes turn out to be the greatest hit. Thy were snap up pretty fast! Surprise!!! They actually do go very well with the BOOZE .....lol... we were all so drunk in the end! Host kiss me & thank me for the fruit cakes which he claimed save the night ....lol... can you imagine???
