Thanks for your friends Liz, Lynn, Chris & Sarah! Gonna wait for your return to Sarawak (and Sabah)! Our main cultural celebration in Sarawak is the Gawai Dayak which is officially on 1st. & 2nd. June. Celebration is basically the whole of June and sometimes until early July. Prep starts on 31st. (sometimes as early as 30th. May). To end the celebration, there is the less significant celebration that is called "Ngiling Bidai" (rolling up the mats). During that whole time, we can conduct open houses to entertain our friends and relatives who might not be able to see on the official celebration itself.
The Chinese calendar is based on the rotation of the moon instead of the sun. Thus the begining of each Chinese new year starts btw late January and mid February of the Gregorian calender. (Modern calender) In ancient times the farmers uses it to know when to plant or harvest their crops as it can tell the coming and going of the seasons. In the west it's called the farmers almanac. It's still used by farmers in China today. Besides that, it is also used for Chinese fortune telling, selecting auspicious dates for events(marriage, giving birth (many will select auspicious dates for cesarean births to ensure their child is born with good fortune), starting a business, moving into a new house etc), thus why it's still in use today. The Chinese calendar is close to 5000 years old . For 2021, it's year 4719 according to the Chinese calendar.
Nian Kaow! you can eat it like the way you eat or cut into 1cm slices and 1 cm slice of yam, coat put them together , dip in batter and deep fry them. or you can just cut into 2 cm slices, steam them and coat with freshly grated coconut
😱"Looks like new You Tube vloggers are coming out of the woodwork in Malaysia" BUT they cannot hold a candle to you guys and Ken Abroad. You guys are a household name now. Your contents are far more interesting and entertaining too🤜🏻🤛🏻✊🏻
Ways to enjoy/eat nian gao :- check out videos of kuih bakul goreng/fried nian gao. Also, you can steam slices of nian gao and then roll them with freshly grated coconut.
The nian gao is made from glutinous rice, sugar and water, there are few ways to eat that, common way is steam it to become softer and add some coconut flakes on it, or cut to slices and fry together with sweet potatoes. And there is a say that during the progress of cooking nian gao, you can't speak bad words or cursing words, or the nian gao won't cook.
We have Chinese calender, the Chinese New year is usually fall in between Mid Jan to end of Feb, every year is different date, cus we follow the chinese calender, even other chinese festival.
The 'kuih bakul' you have to steam it before eating it. When it is soft you can eat it straight away or cover it with grated coconut or fry it with flour similar to pisang goreng.
Steve and Ivana..I loved how both of you made all wishes and hopes while tossing the Yee Sang..so well said..🧡 Dragon and Horse...2 favourite ... haha no.wonder Ivana really special and Steve is so full of energy and galloping.. Chinese New Year celebrated for 15 days..the 15th day is also the Chinese Valentine Day..it's full moon night.. Chinese New Year is not on Feb 13th of every year..the dates differ every year..follow the 1st Day of the Chinese Lunar New Year meaning follow the Chinese calendar..can be between Jan and Feb every year..whole world same for all who celebrate Chinese New Year.. Chinese New Year's Eve is the very important Réunion Dinner for most Chinese.. Tossing Yee Sang is extremely significant not only in Malaysia..Hong Kong and Singapore too Yee Sang is very significant ,more so among Chinese and business meals or companies function and also in family gatherings.. Yee Sang best to have at Chinese restaurants or special home prepared but usually most have it from restaurants..this year with Covid, well surely very toned down
Mandarin Orange is "Kam" in Cantonese... which means gold. And gold represents prosperity for Chinese and basically that is the meaning of mandarin oranges for CNY.
One ingredient that will give the yee sang its special flavor is pomelo. Homemade Nian Guo or Tee Kuih (in the hokkien dialect) is made by kneading ground wet glutinous rice with sugar till it is watery, and then steaming it in a specially made rattan basket laid with banana leaves and inside a large kwali covered by a large cylindrical stainless steel cover. It takes over 8 to 10 hours of steaming over a slow fire. But again the process of making nian guo may be simpler and faster but the result may be slightly less tasty. The best time to get a good test of tasting is right after the Tee kuih comes out of the kwali- hot and sweet. It would still be very delicious for a few days. After that it is harder inside and seldom eaten just as it is but it is usually steamed and coated with lightly salted fresh coconut flakes or deep fried with slices of yam on both sides coated with flour(like tempura). Enjoyed your early yee sang tossing very much. Wish you a safe travel ahead.
NIah Gao or Lin Koh (Cantonese) literally translate to "year high" - if you can get fresh grated coconut flesh, add some salt, cut the lin koh in 5mm slice, layered them with the grated coconut on a plate. Steam them until soft, maybe 5minutes should do. Alternatively you could sandwich it wiht yam slice or tapioca root slice, battered and fried it. Google fried niangao or steam niangao with coconut
Nian gao got to be steamed and coated with shredded coconut sort of like 'ondeh²', or coated with sesame seeds and peanuts. It can be cut and sandwich between yam and sweet potatoes then coated with batter and deep fried. Sandwiched nian gao and banana slices between slices of golden toasts.
@@sarahfoo4359 Yes.... In fact I ve aldy gotten in touch with yr staff... M in d process of finalising my orders for my siblings in PJ n SA. Tq Sarah !
I can guaranty that Sarah will be overwhelmed with purchase orders from all the netizens even after the Chinese New year is over! Having you two, who need the phony advertisements ! 😂😂😂
I'm sure her inbox is packed wif orders now... Sarah might need assistance from santa' elves to help in d kitchen since d elves might be a bit relaxed coz christmas is still a long way to go... Hahahaahah
you guys look cute when you toss the yee sang. you did great. yeah sometimes people toss them really high, but its usually with a bigger plate. usually we just sort of toss them around and mix them (like you guys did) because we still want to eat it. those videos you see where people toss it and the whole thing goes to waste usually receive very negative feed backs for wasting foods.
the Bak Kwa individually packed might be chicken meat instead of pork that both of you received few days ago...anyway Bak Kwa was individually wrapped so in case if both of you want to keep for other days esp maybe bring it along for snack at airport before arrival to Pakistan..Bak Kwa very nice to eat as sandwich..placed in between bread and maybe sliced cucumber or lettuce and add fried eggs ( but not necessary ).. Do enjoy your Bak Kwa with bread and small amount green to have a more balanced and nice on the go meal or like comfort food.. although Bak Kwa is not really healthy food but because it's not cheap either and since it's like Chinese New Year season ..just enjoy it for now.. Do not bring it to Pakistan in case it's not allowed ..but no problem to finish it while waiting for flight. The jelly .. wow amazing ..Ivana rightly said.. zen..yes by looking at it closely I too can feel it .. The kuih bakul, can just slice it up and if no grated coconut available , Ivana can coat the slices in eggs, placed on frying pan and fry ..like making french toast
The Osmanthus Jelly is a very classy dessert where during the Chinese dynasty, it is only be consumed by the royalties... Therefore, it is symbolises as prosperity and luxury...
Hahaha good job with yee sang preparation and tossing it and saying all your wishes. But nian gao omg so sad, please cook with Egg, pan fry cos it is very delicious.
The sticky cake ( nian gao) normally loses its stickiness after a few days. It needs to be re-done before eating, normally steamed and topped with shredded coconut or deep fried with batter coating.
Mandarin oranges....means "kam" in Cantonese, during the 'CNY" 15 days celebrations, the most important items is to bring a couple of "kam" for visiting,be it to relatives or friends. Kam means we bring money or fortunes,the more the merrier,more lucks to our or others.glad to see you guys enjoying the "CNY"delicacies and also thanks the givers.
Chinese used Lunar Year, which means there’s only 28 days per month because that’s the time it takes for a moon to circulate the earth for 1 round. That is why the date is not necessarily February 13th. And to compensate the loss of days per year, as there’s like 2-3 days lesser for a month in lunar year in comparison to a month in western calendar, there will be an extra month in every 4 years. So it’s 12 months per year and 13 months per every four year, with 28 days per month for Lunar Calendar. :)
No it is a lunar calendar and every year it is a different date. But it is always in January and February and once every so many years there are 13 months.
2:26 Year of Ox, Happy Chinese New Year! These are the Chinese zodiac, repeating every 12 years 1. Rat (Last year 2020) 2. Ox (This year 2021) 3. Tiger (Next year 2022) 4. Rabbit 5. Dragon 6. Snake 7. Horse 8. Goat 9. Monkey 10. Chicken 11. Dog 12. Pig
Hi Steve.. the way u pronounced "Gong Hei Fatt Choi" is the same WordPress and same meaning as "Gong Xi Fa Chai". Both means Happy Prosperity! The former is Cantonese and the later is Mandarin.
Toss together!!..make it messy...hahaha!! Steve is so so cute with all resolutions...yeah, me too will probably say the same..every one is safe...the pandemic go away etc etc.good luck.
there is Chinese calendar where I think exist for 3600 years(correct me if I'm wrong). but we don't write and state in any of international documents. however, most Chinese keep a note of their Chinese date of birth, because Chinese calendar somehow show the personality, fortune and etc; Mandarin orange, in mandarin / hokkien we called Kam, Kam = gold, so when visitor visit house in CNY, the owner treat you KAM, means give u a good fortune; why Bak kwa, because in the old Chinese day, CNY happens in spring, and Chinese eat many preservative meat, from Chinese sausages, Chinese preserve duck, chicken and etc; Pineapple, in hokkien we called Ong, Ong = Luck, so when visitor visit house in CNY, the owner treat you Ong Lai , means give u a good Luck comes. Nian Gao, in Chinese, is a wishes wishing you u grow taller and higher every year. all the above have pronunciation of good fortune, prosperities, grow taller every year and etc.
Chinese calendar is still using for traditional matters or events. We have 12 animals a full cycle. These 12 animals also representing 12 hours, 2 full cycles = 24 hrs. Chinese Calendar is based on the moon or lunar. When comes to the traditional part, apparently northern China and Southern China (divided by yangtzi River) entire celebrations also very different. Examples northern eats dumpling (wheat to produce flour) n plays dragon dance. Southern eats reunion mainly rice (reason paddy fields availability) with dishes and plays lion dance.
That "kuih baku" firstly should tear away the banana leaves and cut into thin pcs..steam it and roll it the coconut flakes,,or cut into cube size ,sandwich it with sweet potato and yam ,flour and eggs then deep fried,alas yummy!
Ur question as to whether there is a year attached to the chinese calendar, the answer is no. The Chinese uses a 12- animal rotation for each new year - 2021 being the year of the Ox. I think the Chinese has lost count of the number of years! (But remember that history has recorded their more than 5000 yrs of civilisation)
Chinese New Year is a celebration of Spring or Chuntien or Chun Jie in Chinese according to the Chinese Lunar calendar. So this year of the Ox falls on Feb12, the Festival is celebrated for 15 days. Usually most of Asia comes to a standstill when businesses close for the duration. This year cud possibly be affected by the pandemic. Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan, PRC(China), Malaysia, Singapore, even Japan & Korea (the latter two celebrate Spring festival). Sometime back, I have learnt of a German businessman caught in a fix as businesses closed for the period. He cudn't do any business then ( he was dealing with spectacles frame). This is similar to Xmas/New Year closure.
Chinese New Year does not fall on the same day of the Julian calendar every year as it follows the lunar calendar. It normally falls between late Jan to mid Feb.
In my childhood days, my mom would cook a big pot of curry chicken, and a few other dishes for neighbours (mostly Iban) who came to our open house. they would eat and drink happily and the dishes was left for me to wash.... biiiiiigggggg pile. pls do bear in mind that i am from a kampung, and back then paper plate and plastic spoon and fork are not common. cny was both fun and nightmare for me.. 🤣 the fun part was : kids : getting ang pao from my chinese relatives.. ka-ching~~~~ parents : catching up with relatives and friends. now, i am living in the city, cny is less merry... at least for me.. 😓 but i do go back to my hometown in sarawak for cny every alternate year (1 year in Peninsular, 1 year in Sarawak), so my boy gets to enjoy cny similar to the way i did, minus the dish washing... 🤣🤣🤣
People actually cook the nian gao, like fry it like fritters or steam it and cover it with grated coconut. You can look up some recipes online and maybe try cooking it 😂
I think most Chimese in Canada are from Hong Kong.. And they speaks Cantonese.. Thats why Steve saying it as Kong Hei Fatt Choy.. And Ivana said a Mandarin version Gong Xi Fa Chai..
We ll have a reunion dinner on the eve of CNY. Everyone in the family will be home to enjoy dinner together. My family usually has steamboat but sadly not this year. 😭
i like how you say its dangerous foods. lol. it indeed is. gaining weight during festivals here is really common. imagine those stuff you tried? going to visit your relatives and eat a bunch of them then gain few kgs after CNY. lol
If not for covid restrictions, we subscribers could do yee sang together with JLW around the table!! Imagine the big plate on a round table with whole lot of us..".low low yee sang"!!
Happy Chinese New Year!🏮🎉❤️

Mandarin oranges in Chinese language is 'Kam' means 'Gold'. Sign of prosperity.
Pineapple is 'Ong Lai' meaning 'prosperity comes'

So it’s 12 months per year and 13 months per every four year, with 28 days per month for Lunar Calendar. :)
Thanks for this. This really helped
In the Chinese calendar there are 29 days in certain months and 30 days in some. And the 13 months is every alternate year , not 4 years
U forgot to wish this while tossing Yee sang. 1 million subscribers.. hahaha
No it is a lunar calendar and every year it is a different date. But it is always in January and February and once every so many years there are 13 months.
The date of CNY changes every year based on the Chinese calender. It usually falls in Jan - February.
Yee sang part is very funny. So happy to mix together with family,. 😋

Hi Steve.. the way u pronounced "Gong Hei Fatt Choi" is the same WordPress and same meaning as "Gong Xi Fa Chai". Both means Happy Prosperity! The former is Cantonese and the later is Mandarin.
There is a Chinese calendar. BTW download the Malaysian calendar app and it gives you both calendars.
Cool! Thanks
LOL the both of you looks so high with all the food !!
Happy CNY my fav youtuber Ivana and Steve 🎊❤
Toss together!!..make it messy...hahaha!! Steve is so so cute with all resolutions...yeah, me too will probably say the same..every one is safe...the pandemic go away etc etc.good luck.
There is a routine of "recital" when you toss the Yu Sheng. We call this activity Lo Hei 捞起.
In China they use Gregorian Calendar. Chinese New Year also known as the new lunar new year.
Enjoy your bak kua with cold shandy or beer...
yes..another good idea
I really enjoyed your video. Great channel. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Greetings from Albania. 👋🏼🇦🇱
there is Chinese calendar where I think exist for 3600 years(correct me if I'm wrong). but we don't write and state in any of international documents. however, most Chinese keep a note of their Chinese date of birth, because Chinese calendar somehow show the personality, fortune and etc; Mandarin orange, in mandarin / hokkien we called Kam, Kam = gold, so when visitor visit house in CNY, the owner treat you KAM, means give u a good fortune; why Bak kwa, because in the old Chinese day, CNY happens in spring, and Chinese eat many preservative meat, from Chinese sausages, Chinese preserve duck, chicken and etc; Pineapple, in hokkien we called Ong, Ong = Luck, so when visitor visit house in CNY, the owner treat you Ong Lai , means give u a good Luck comes. Nian Gao, in Chinese, is a wishes wishing you u grow taller and higher every year. all the above have pronunciation of good fortune, prosperities, grow taller every year and etc.
Thanks for sharing these info!👍
Yeaa HAPPY CNY
Chinese calendar is still using for traditional matters or events. We have 12 animals a full cycle. These 12 animals also representing 12 hours, 2 full cycles = 24 hrs.
Chinese Calendar is based on the moon or lunar. When comes to the traditional part, apparently northern China and Southern China (divided by yangtzi River) entire celebrations also very different. Examples northern eats dumpling (wheat to produce flour) n plays dragon dance. Southern eats reunion mainly rice (reason paddy fields availability) with dishes and plays lion dance.
Happy chinese New year
You got all the CNY snacks... i'm gonna buy mine soon!
Ken Abroad you're missing out!
Looks like it yeah 😅

Steam or batter-fry the nian gao so it ll be sticky and gooey. 😋
Bak kaw is pork, they use charcoal to barbecue it.
Nice try Steve. Telling the story of nian gao. There you have it!
That "kuih baku" firstly should tear away the banana leaves and cut into thin pcs..steam it and roll it the coconut flakes,,or cut into cube size ,sandwich it with sweet potato and yam ,flour and eggs then deep fried,alas yummy!
Happy Mooo Year!!
Ur question as to whether there is a year attached to the chinese calendar, the answer is no. The Chinese uses a 12- animal rotation for each new year - 2021 being the year of the Ox. I think the Chinese has lost count of the number of years! (But remember that history has recorded their more than 5000 yrs of civilisation)
Oh celebrating CNY ... nice.
Chinese New Year is a celebration of Spring or Chuntien or Chun Jie in Chinese according to the Chinese Lunar calendar. So this year of the Ox falls on Feb12, the Festival is celebrated for 15 days. Usually most of Asia comes to a standstill when businesses close for the duration. This year cud possibly be affected by the pandemic. Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan, PRC(China), Malaysia, Singapore, even Japan & Korea (the latter two celebrate Spring festival). Sometime back, I have learnt of a German businessman caught in a fix as businesses closed for the period. He cudn't do any business then ( he was dealing with spectacles frame). This is similar to Xmas/New Year closure.
You can fry the nian gao with some sweet potato!
Chinese New Year does not fall on the same day of the Julian calendar every year as it follows the lunar calendar. It normally falls between late Jan to mid Feb.
Guys. Did you tried the McDonald's prosperity burgers. It's only come out during CNY
😍🙃Can't wait hahaha
Early CNY.
In my childhood days, my mom would cook a big pot of curry chicken, and a few other dishes for neighbours (mostly Iban) who came to our open house. they would eat and drink happily and the dishes was left for me to wash.... biiiiiigggggg pile. pls do bear in mind that i am from a kampung, and back then paper plate and plastic spoon and fork are not common.
cny was both fun and nightmare for me.. 🤣
the fun part was :
kids : getting ang pao from my chinese relatives.. ka-ching~~~~
parents : catching up with relatives and friends.
now, i am living in the city, cny is less merry... at least for me.. 😓
but i do go back to my hometown in sarawak for cny every alternate year (1 year in Peninsular, 1 year in Sarawak), so my boy gets to enjoy cny similar to the way i did, minus the dish washing... 🤣🤣🤣
Wow what a fortune!
Chinese New Year in Malaysia is celebrated on different date every year, based on the Chinese calendar. Same goes for Hari Raya and Deepavali.
People actually cook the nian gao, like fry it like fritters or steam it and cover it with grated coconut. You can look up some recipes online and maybe try cooking it 😂
Another Chinese New year Malaysia special would be new year song... New songs every year...
Chinese calendar system is base on solar and lunar combination complex calculation
35:20 Ivana's Gong Xi Fa Cai is the same as Steve's Gong Hei Fatt Choy. Just in different dialects, one is Mandarin and they other Cantonese
I think most Chimese in Canada are from Hong Kong.. And they speaks Cantonese.. Thats why Steve saying it as Kong Hei Fatt Choy.. And Ivana said a Mandarin version Gong Xi Fa Chai..
@@mohammadirwan8977 There's Hokkien, Hakka, TeoChew and others too! Haha. But they're less common. Chinese is such a complex language to master
Pat on the back for this one
We ll have a reunion dinner on the eve of CNY. Everyone in the family will be home to enjoy dinner together. My family usually has steamboat but sadly not this year. 😭

i like how you say its dangerous foods. lol. it indeed is. gaining weight during festivals here is really common. imagine those stuff you tried? going to visit your relatives and eat a bunch of them then gain few kgs after CNY. lol
It is much nicer with fresh fruit and vegetables. It is about the fresh salmon, a homonym for plentiful
Chinese celebrate Chinese New Year's for 15 days. Hari Raya was celebrated for 1 month. Chinese & Muslim people have their own calendar.
