Sorry that I didn't update my blog last night, since I was struggling in the statistic courses...
Well, this is what I wanted to share with u, a kind of Chinese snack called "La-Ba Porridge".
In Lunar calendar, the dates are divided into 48 seasons with different names, and many customs and traditions are attached to them, so does "La-Ba Festival", the day to memorize the harvest of the year as well as memorize our ancestors.
So the porridge contains 8 kinds of ingredients literally, since "ba" in Chinese means eight, showing that we've archived so much t from the whole year's hard working.
Since I don't have so many ingredients here, I just put everything sweet into the pot - red beans, dried coconut slices, black rice, almonds, peanuts, raisins, black eyed peas, red dates and brown sugar of course.
After half an hour's cooking, i enjoyed it when video chatting with my parents, and it's quite amazing that we can enjoy the same food in two totally different countries, haha!
