Steamed Rice Cake/ Fatt Koh

I would like to wish everyone a Happy Chinese New Year. Today i steamed Fatt Koh for the kids, i need to test on the "Chow Peang" that i've made and put in the fridge earlier. Luckily it is still good, so i will be able to have nice and rise high  Fatt Koh this year . When heard my friends mention Fatt or Fat, then reminds me of making this earlier just to make sure the yeast is still good........I've made 13 Fatt Koh today, the kids wacked 8 of it, will make some again on the Chinese New Year Eve. I like making Fatt Koh cause it is so fluffy and it is like smiling to me. "Fatt" means prosperity, once again i  want to wish everyone "Gong Xi Fa Chai"!!!
