This is the season to get ready for the lunar year of the dog ! Manaweblife ventured into the cottage enterprise in the old Serdang new village to unveil the making of the must-have Chinese New Year "nian gao" cake. Here is the video that shows some of the steps how it is made in firewood steamers the good old way. In fact, the work takes long hours and usually starts early in the day when the glutinous rice are prepared and steamed for almost a day overnight. The glutinous rice is soaked and dried before they are mixed with other ingredients in big plates and steamed. This type of cottage industry is fast disappearing in the modern city and this operator inherited the trade from his mother for over two decades. He started his experience since he was a teen. Indeed, he, his wife, brother and daughter are keepers of this traditional must-have cake that is used for prayers, as a dessert and fried with yam .
