Rather than the traditional way of eating 年糕 that is by pan frying with egg, why not try to sandwich the  年糕 with a slice of sweet potato and yam.

How about a al fresco dining, unique food and most importantly the price is not expensive(less than S$10 per dish). Yup, came across a moroccan restaurant @ bussorah street servicing tagine food (stews cooked in tagine earthenware).

Just put up some of the food trial @ Yuen Long, take the west rail line to 元朗 (yuen long) station then transfer to light rail to 大堂道 (tai tong road). Do email to me if you need a copy of this food trail map.

In Singapore during the chinese new year time, you must go to restaurants to eat this dish "Lo Hei/Yusheng" (撈起/鱼生). To me this is like a salad with salmon,radish,carrot,giner,chinese parsley,peanuts,sesame seeds, crackers, five spice powder ...etc the ingredients may vary with restaurant. Before you eat, you have to say some auspicious words to do the tossing and to mark the start of new year, higher you toss, higher is your fortunes.

Went with my friend to this place for dinner, a 煮抄 (zhi-char) stall which is nice and reasonable. Actually I am quite surprised to find this zhi-char tucked inside the coffeeshop/hokkien association. You will be surprised to find many people eating there once you go to the back of the coffeeshop. They served dinner starting from 4 pm onwards and do come early, the parking space is limited.
