Tikoy (Nian Gao / Chinese New Year's Cake)




Tikoy or Nian Gao in Chinese is prevalently given as a blessing and consumed amid Chinese New Year festivals on the grounds that in Chinese people religion/mythology, it is accepted that the Kitchen God makes his yearly excursion to paradise just before the first day of the new year to give his report to the Jade Emperor, ruler of the sky, on the exercises of each family unit for as far back as year.

Offerings of tikoy to the Kitchen God makes his mouth sticky so he won't have the capacity to report negative things about the family that offered him tikoy.

This is not really a Pinoy recipe but if you like traveling especially in asian countries like Hong-Kong where Chinese New Year is celebrated, you probably had this one before.
