Want Some Butterscotch Tikoy?

Home sweet home

February 1, 2010

This was my little contribution in attracting good luck and prosperity in the Year of the Metal Rabbit.

Butterscotch tikoy (Php 140) we bought in Eng Bee Tin - Quentin Paredes branch

A whiff of butterscotch filled my nostrils as I lifted this glutinous rice cake from the box. Then I started chopping it to small slices. Hmmm. If only I could omit the egg from this process, I would. I'm not a big fan of egg-coated tikoy.

 

Beat it, baby, then dip!

 

Tell me, will this help me attract good luck? Hope so.

Gong Xi Fa Cai!
