While I was getting ready for school Wednesday morning, I asked my mom,
"Did you buy tikoy at Young's?" (in Tagalog, of course)
"Yes."
It made my morning (and then it went down again when I was on my way to school.).
Every Chinese New Year, my mom buys tikoy. Our family doesn't exactly 'celebrate' it as to how we celebrate Jan. 1st. Instead, we just eat tikoy.
Tikoy, or Chinese New Year's cake, is glutinous rice. It has different cooking methods in other East and South East Asian countries but in the Philippines, this sweet sticky snack is normally dipped in beaten egg and then fried.
It's crispy and brown on the outside, but soft and chewy on the inside. My mom cooked it today and this is what it looked like:
She sliced it first. Not too thin and not too thick. I think my mom would buy another one tomorrow because it's a long weekend here and my family is "celebrating" Louis Riel Day.
To everyone who celebrates and observes the Lunar New Year, Happy New Year~!
