We have organized a once a year Chinese New Year gathering
with Darling’s Secondary friends over at our place last weekend.
- 2 sticks of Chinese Sausage
- 30g of Dried Shrimps
- 30g of Dried Scallops
- 10 stalks of mushrooms
- 50g of Corn Starch (about 3 tablespoon)
- 1 teaspoon of Salt
- 1 teaspoon of Sugar
- 800ml of Water
- 1 tablespoon of Salt
- 1 teaspoon of Sugar
- 1 teaspoon of Sesame Oil
2) Heat 2 tablespoon of Oil and add in the Chinese sausages
3) When fragrance, add in the shrimps, scallops and mushrooms
4) When turn golden, toss in the turnips and add in the seasoning
5) Turn to low heat when radish softened and juice exude
6) Slowly stir in the batter
7) When well incorporated, and batter is soft and sticky (not runny), then turn off the heat
8) Grease a 9” square pan
9) Filled the pan with the radish mixture and level the surface
10) Steam in a preheated steamer over high heat for 45 minutes
And this time round is a potluck session! Been thinking real
hard what to cook – not that time consuming… can throw into the oven or pan and
get it cooked without much monitoring…
Finally, I settled with two dishes – and one of it is Hong
Kong Style Radish Cake! Been wanting to try out this recipe for the longest
time ever, I guess is a very good occasion to do so too J
Ingredients:
- 500g of Radish, shredded- 2 sticks of Chinese Sausage
- 30g of Dried Shrimps
- 30g of Dried Scallops
- 10 stalks of mushrooms
Batter Ingredients:
-
300g of Rice Flour (about 2 ¼ cup)- 50g of Corn Starch (about 3 tablespoon)
- 1 teaspoon of Salt
- 1 teaspoon of Sugar
- 800ml of Water
Seasoning:
-
½ teaspoon of Pepper- 1 tablespoon of Salt
- 1 teaspoon of Sugar
- 1 teaspoon of Sesame Oil
Method:
1) Incorporate all the batter ingredients and mixed
well (ensure that there’s no lumps in the mixture)2) Heat 2 tablespoon of Oil and add in the Chinese sausages
3) When fragrance, add in the shrimps, scallops and mushrooms
4) When turn golden, toss in the turnips and add in the seasoning
5) Turn to low heat when radish softened and juice exude
6) Slowly stir in the batter
7) When well incorporated, and batter is soft and sticky (not runny), then turn off the heat
8) Grease a 9” square pan
9) Filled the pan with the radish mixture and level the surface
10) Steam in a preheated steamer over high heat for 45 minutes
I love this dish since young, maybe because I’m a Cantonese
girl! BEST PART – I can cooked it the night before while Ansley is sleeping and
heat it out the very next day!
I pan fried the radish cake just like the dim sum restaurant
and it tastes superb (Feedbacks from friends, I’m not so thick skinned to
comment my own cooking!)
Too bad, I didn’t managed to take pictures of the final
result! But took a picture of the un-steamed radish cake :P

Chinese New Year has come to closure to the TANG FAMILY
after our last House Visiting over the weekend!
Time to consolidate cute pictures of Ansley’s 拜年 endeavor!
J
One week before Chinese New Year, Ansley learn how to “Gong
Xi Gong Xi” in his class at Happy Train. From then onwards, whenever he heard
“Gong Xi Gong Xi”, he will put up his hands and give me the “Gong Xi Gong Xi”
action!
初一! Ansley in his handsome outfit bought by 姑姑! And
btw, “Ansley, you need two oranges to 拜年!”
As Ansley had fallen sick before the Chinese New Year, we
didn’t manage to go to a lot of places, but we manage to pop by Jojo’s place
coincidentally!
Jojo LOVES Ansley and Ansley LOVES Jojo! Jojo welcome Ansley
with his friendly barks and licking tongue! And surprisingly, Ansley is not
that afraid of Jojo! After Jojo lie down, Ansley’s hands are all over Jojo –
sayanging him!
And during weekdays, 拜年still continues! Grandma
also brought Ansley out to Grandauntie’s house to 拜年!
Grandauntie is so happy that she took out all of 表姑姑’s
toys for him to play and Ansley can’t stop having fun with all the toys!
表姑姑 got a lot of glasses! Show you a nerdy look!
TIME TO GET BACK TO WORK!

It was pretty crazy for the past two weeks! So many things
seems to be happening at the same time! Chinese New Year… Spring Cleaning…
House Visiting… Ansley’s sick… And I’m sick…
Look at him! So sick! Running a fever at 38.7 degree! Just a
BLUR FACE and not a sign of wanting to cry!
I almost find it torturous when there’s so much to complete
and yet so little time. Fortunately, I HAVE ANSLEY along this endless path of
cleaning up!
Ansley was sick ever since he starts school in January.
Suddenly on Wednesday… WEE HOURS… He starts to run a fever, but he DID NOT CRY
or even WHINE! I guess he knows that both Popi and Momi have been cleaning up
the house till very late, so he didn’t wanted to disturbed us. SUCH A FILIAL
BOY!
Thank goodness I woke up and shifted him a bit. If not, I
will never ever know that he is running a fever!
After meeting the PD, after dosage of medication, this
little sick boy is still as energetic as ever! Trying his little means and ways
to contribute to the family!
Isn’t Ansley an ANGEL? With a patch on his little head,
still putting in effort to learn how to zip up the sofa cover!
Still yet to recover fully, Ansley is still like a LITTLE
WARRIOR! All ready for all the challenging task on the very next day!
Ansley’s enthusiasm is SUPER INFLUENTIAL! Spring Cleaning is
no longer a CHORE, but a HAPPY THING to do with Ansley!
Thank you for all your encouragement, MY LITTLE WARRIOR!
