Decided to fry some peanut, grind them and eat with nian-gao, the sticky thing. This is a type of dessert only available in Chinese New Year. It's very tedious to make the nian-gao. One will need to take at least a day to make it. The traditional one will need 12 - 15 hours to steam it. Gosh....I only learn to eat it with peanut recently. You can eat it with grind coconut as well. Since I was young, I only eat it pure, ie, steam and take a chopstick and eat like that. Or mom will deep fry it with sweet potato. Of couse it has to be sliced.
My aunt in Melaka can make very nice one. Not sure if she is making this year as she is getting old and no strength to make as well... :( Maybe I should learn....
