Last night Auntie Ha and her daughter Ee arrived to stay with us a few days. Poly's mom, Lau, usually invites Ha over when either we're staying here in Judy's place or Judy herself is here in the summer. We plan to visit Wan Dai Shin temple today or tomorrow, depending on the weather. It's Poly's family's usual temple to go for fortunes and other chinese buddhist things. We also are planning a trip to a temple with 10,000 buddha statues somewhere in HK.
Auntie Ha brought some of my favorite steam cake from the village. It's a desert, sort of the texture of a twinkie, made with simple local ingredients. It's mildly sweet, and cooked between large leaves of some type. Peel the leaves away and dig in! MMM.
Ha and Ee live in the village of Shintong, which is near HK in Guandong province. I was there years ago, in the 90s.
Pictured above is a slice of that delicious steam cake!
