Full Moon Give Away

full moon give away set!

we ordered this set to be given away on our babies full moon.

on the real day, we have to be in inlaw's house so this was ordered in my house and they were distributed by hubs and dad to friends and family on our side.

whereas in hub's home, we had a party so there were no such give aways :)

the set comprises of red hard boiled eggs, nasi kunyit (yellow glutinous rice), curry chicken, and ang ku (red tortoise cake)

the Ang Ku Kueh is special in this case.

it symbolizes the gender of your baby.

if you have a baby boy, this kueh will be round.

if u have a baby girl, they will be in the shape of a peach.

i am a Hokkien by the way.

eat the curry chicken with the glutinous rice.

these days, modern parents would prefer to give away Ayamas or pizza hut or kfc voucher, or cakes or other not perishable items.

with this type of meal set, you need to distribute them fast!

knowing me, i'm a traditional lady.

hence i opt for this, to keep the tradition alive. :p

chinese usually has their confinement for 30 days,

whereas some do it for 40 days.

i opt for 40 days.

malays do it for 44 days.

after full moon (30 days), im still watchful over my diet.

that photo shows what i ate.

MUST NOT eat 'cooling' food.

can begin to eat 'neutral' food :)
