In case you're wondering, we're still within the Chinese New Year period for it lasts 15 days. Too bad that isn't translated to 15 days of holiday for us. Sigh.
Anyway, we have interesting ways to represent prosperity and one of them is a type of cake called the 'huat kueh', which means cake of growth or prosperity. This muffin-like cake rises and the top cracks open as it is steamed, thus the 'growth' process.
I made some just a while ago and it's really easy to make (the recipe can be found here! I've used the modified version instead. I would love the top of the kuehs to open up more though.. Perhaps a little baking powder would have helped!)
