Chinese Valentine's Day..

Finally, finally, Chinese Lunar New Year is over. Actually for most of us, I think CNY already “ended” when we are back to work.. hahaha. Yesterday was also Chinese Valentine’s Day… so, anybody celebrated ? Hmmm….. interesting isn’t it ? The “ang-mo” valentine’s day, it was such a big hoo-ha… with the roses, candle-lights dinners etc etc, but its much “quieter” when it comes to the chinese valentine’s day. Our chinese roots ? Hmm.. anyway, there was once again fireworks at Marina Square (Esplanade) to celebrate the end of CNY. Fantastic display. Had glutinous rice balls with peanuts and black sesame seeds for supper yesterday. I love glutinous rice balls. My family used to buy those flour (white and pink colour), then mix and roll them into balls (big or small, up to us.. hee hee) with some cane sugar inside for taste. Missed those times coz with the now those ready made ones available in supermarkets, we have stopped doing them on our own. But its definitely more convenient and you could cook and eat them anytime of the year instead of some special days only. I suppose the point is to gather everyone in the family to eat together...
