Why I Love Making this Recipe: This is my family & my favourite dish where we usually have it during Chinese New Year / celebrations. My mum have learnt this amazing recipe from my grandma. But as you can see, the recipe is complicated (with too many ingredients) so I can only cook it when my mum is around to direct me. Hope that one day I’m able to master this dish and make it myself so I can cook this amazing dish for my friends in SG! 
