Ang Ku Kueh


Ang Ku Kueh
Swiped from williamnyk.
On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, I get to eat ang ku kueh. A treat from my colleague. He would bring at least ten pieces! Wondering why? The food's from his altar! It's a rarity for young people to have an altar in their homes. Most would be clueless about the rituals and couldn't care less about putting incense and being mindful of the important dates. My colleague does. He prays to Guan Yin. I have no qualms about eating it as to me it is just food (I'm Catholic in case you don't know). But having it every two weeks does make it kinda scary! Haha. I told him that Guan Yin is probably bored of ang ku kueh, so better buy something else!

I love Ang Ku Kueh! I only do the prayers during big occasions only, eg. CNY, Qing Ming, Ancestors Death Anniversary, Ba-Zhang, Mooncake, WInter Solstice!

Could never get bored of it. I suppose you get tired of eating rice since it is certainly a more frequent ritual ;P
