What would be more appropriate then to introduce our local delicacy?
This is a dessert created by the Hokkiens in
ANG KOO – ANG means RED, KOO means Tortoise.
This bright RED dessert is served during many occasions,
mainly marriages, prayers, birthdays, full month of the birth of a child, etc.
It comes in turtle, round, flat snow pea and apricot shapes.
During the Full Moon (one month old) of a child,
A box of Ang Koo is given to relatives and friends.
The RED round ones symbolize a boy,
The RED apricot shaped ones symbolize a girl.
These beautiful RED desserts are made from glutinous rice
with sweetened mashed green beans, groundnuts or coconut as fillings.
Here is Jon trying to act as if he is the Santa Claus,
dressing up with a RED Santa hat and hiding himself under a blanket of RED cloth.
