These are pictures of what Chinatown looks like during Chinese New Year.
The streets were so crowded that even the Lions were stuck in traffic. Hehehe..
Tikoy (sticky rice cake that symbolizes unity), a staple every Chinese New Year has undergone many changes. From the plain white to brown to various flavored versions
Red = Strawberry
Violet = Ube
Yellow = Banana/Pineapple/Corn
Green = Pandan
Now, tikoy comes in different forms. (Pig, Fish & Gold Bar shaped)

You sure did have fun during the Chinese New Year. Speaking of foods, I have been thinking of eating in an authentic Chinese restaurant for so long. The only restaurant I know is Ma Mon Luk, and I really love the food there. I'd like to try out authentic Chinese restaurants because I'd like to know how real Chinese food tastes. I do like eating at Chowking but I know it's not authentic and it has a Filipino touch. Anyway, the pictures are really nice. Later! =D
mukhang masarap nga yung tikoy. namigay ako sa ospital nung friday and since then i have been wanting to eat some myself. hindi pala nakakahon yung mga kinukwento mo...
Great photos. It must be wonderful to witness the Chinese New Year right at the heart of China Town. I'm sure it was a great experience.
I tried the ube and padan flavored tikoy. It was good but I still prefer the unflavored one. How nice that tikoy now comes in various shapes and sizes.
Thanks for visiting my blog. It's always nice to have new visitors.
