CNY traditions and new ones ... May the year Getting my mango pancake game on and a favourite Kueh Dar Dar. Remember what you see here not always good ... I was stressing and felt off colour today.. made ang ku kueh fresh but got my ratios all wrong so they spread and lost their imprint...Life isnt perfect , It didn't feel like a win but to see the smiles and giggles and the contentment made me happy beyond belief I have always loved kueh to no end and i love learning to make Kueh myself... never did it as a kid but as a migrant it is good therapy in finding home through food... The smell of pandan leaves and palm sugar...the feeling of my hands burning the steam on my face. Anyone have a mum or family recipe i can learn?? . . . . . . . . . . . . . .#food #foodporn #foodie #foodphotography #yummy #foodstagram#delicious #love #foodblogger #foodlover #traditions #tradition #family #foodtradition#migrantstories #cny #lunarnewyearfood #lunarnewyear #guncles #gay #gaymen #gayfoodie #gayfood #gayfoodlover #gayaustralia #familyfood #mystory#foodtechnologist #foodfail https://www.instagram.com/p/CZoYHywvL3q/?utm_medium=tumblr

Looks cute might delete later As lunar new year approaches it is time to prep... There is a tradition my mum and I have been doing for about 8 years prior to this we would just buy the snacks. We don't have extended family here nor did we have access to alot of the traditions that made lunar New year feel like home. But what I secretly loved about this is that it would be me and my mum cooking for hours on end. Yet she always makes more and more than we need to give and share. She is utterly selfless in alot of ways... I always imagined maybe my grandmothers and aunties did this but they were too poor.. but this is now a tradition one i hope i can pass on one day to... . . . . . . . . . . . #lunarnewyear #lunarnewyearfood #chinesenewyear #cny #yearofthetiger#prep #snacks #gongxifacai #newyear #tradition #heritage #mum #mummasboy #mom #lny #happylunarnewyear # #happychinesenewyear #lunar #asianfood #love #design #sydneychinesenewyear #mumtime #love #migrantstories #family #red #familyties https://www.instagram.com/life_4_food/p/CZDIa0GBomd/?utm_medium=tumblr

All i want for Christmas.... Is #food Something that Christmas brings is family and food. I know how fortunate we are to be able to put on such a spread as the clan gets bigger. This is the first since COVID we can get together and I forget that mums are super amazing. Mum and the aunties brought their A game. 5 desserts from my kitchen and one from @xin_yann but all the savoury thank you to everyone that brought a plate. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #christmas #family #christmas2021 #feasting #christmasfood #christmaslunch #hungry #foodcoma #gay #gayuncle #gratitude #grafeful #familyfood #familygoals #familychosen #sacrifice #magic #sunday #sundaylunch #buffet #foodgram #foodstagram #foodlove #foodlovers https://www.instagram.com/p/CX8L0-fPfkW/?utm_medium=tumblr
