To usher in The Year Of The Rat is truly oriental style. So I decided to share this recipe with the concoction of lotus root and black raisin.
My mother (a typical Cantonese) will definitely make lotus root soup for our reunion dinner because to her lotus root in Cantonese is 'lin ngo'the auspicious phrase is ' lin lin yao' meaning A Abundance or A bountiful. So I will name this cake..."A Bountiful Of Golden Blessing Cake".
She can slice, chop, grate, knead, whisk, juice, blend, and as a result, you can make bread, cake, soya bean milk, fish paste, mayonnaise, rojak .....the list goes on, but we were only shown those few items for starters.... almost as good as a wife, except it doesn't perform conjugal duties, and if Teckiee was grossed out by grated flesh from fingers on a blood coulis....well, .....doing it with the magimix will certainly be a lot more colorful....like these bottles of colorings and essences.
