Chinese New Year Memory

Well, seemingly that I go back to Malacca, the language that was mainly spoken there was Baba Malay amongst my relatives. Basically my dad’s cousins and uncles and aunties. Well, yes, I speak Malay when I am back in Melaka, though the newer generations all starting to speak Mandarin O.o

Dodol, one of the traditional food that I love to eat. Well, another one is Wajid, but this year don’t have any. There are also Itik Tim (duck soup with Brandy) and lotsa Rendang (spice dry curry chicken/beef) to name a few.
