Chinese New Year is coming to it’s final week, and I have to talked about my Chinese New Year. Yes I was in Malacca as most of you know and I had a bit fun with my D40 and go snapping around. 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
But then coming from a baba nyonya family has it’s advantages. We have nyonya food, traditional type. Even dodol was hand made. Dodol is a special kind of food which takes hours to make one. Well, I prefer hand made type, as it’s stirred and stirred for hours, so that the mixture doesn’t dry up.
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. Well, if I were to bring KL-ians along with me to Malacca, I guessed most of them will be shocked to hear that it’s a Malay speaking Chinese community in Malacca, and also we have chinese families making Ketupat.
