Traditional Sweet Finger Food - Chinese Nien Gau

Traditional Chinese have to have a slice of traditional sweet finger food called 'Nien Gau' or 'Sticky Cake' during the New Year festive seasons. It symbolizes growth and fortune as in Chinese pronunciation, it is the same as growing taller every year.

In most Asian countries, what we find in store were mostly dark brown in color and family folks would usually fry them under egg dips or simply cut them into slices before serve. Others were green in color as they are Pandan leaf flavored. 

Nowadays, in China, we are going to taste and experience a new type of 'Nien Gau' which is purple in color and coated with icing sugar. They look nice and the taste is sweet as well as children would be tempted to grab them by the minute they are served onto the table.

Now, lets vote? Which one is more popular? :) :)
