This recipe is specially requested by my hubby. My mum-in-law used to cook this dish for us every year on the first day of Chinese New Year. Everyone in our family loves this dish and there’s always not much leftover the moment it’s served on the table. This dish really brings back sweet memories of my mum-in-law and her many signature dishes she so passionately cooked for us.
I hope I will be able to carry on preserving this traditional dish for our family. It may not be as good as my mum-in-law’s but I hope to perfect it in the future …. to sort of bring back the old taste.
