Remembering grandma

*This is post-dated entry*

When I was small my maternal grandma always made glutinous rice (nuomi fan) for us. All of us love her glutinous rice. I never know my mum know how to prepare this dish or not, because I never ask her.

Now my grandma in her 80s, she seldom make this rice dish but I got the privilege to taste it again few weeks ago. Still taste the same after all those years but I remember grandma put some chestnuts in her rice but now just some mushroom, pork bits and dried prawns. Cannot eat a lot as I have indigestion problem. Genetic? Because my dad also have such problems and so is my sister.



Thank you, grandma!

P/s CNY is just few days away. Ready for it??
