'Qing Ming' falls on 5th day of April yearly. This is an important festival for most chinese families, to visit and clean up the ancestors' graves and perform ancestral worship. This year I Specially prepared some 'Fatt Koh' and some 'Ang Ku' 0r we call it 'Red Tortoise' cake for this occation.
'Fatt Koh' is a Chinese Smiling Steam Cup Cake. Among Malaysian Chinese culinary, 'Fatt' could mean 'prosper' or 'expanding in volume' . To me the fun of making 'Fatt 'Koh' is to see them 'Smiling' !! which is rewarding.
'Ang Ku' bean paste fillings
'Ang Ku' coconut with gula Malacca fillings
'Ang ku' or 'Red Tortoise' cake is another traditional chinese cake made from glutinous rice flour. I have choosen the coconut and bean paste for fillings, it was cast out of the mold which looks like the shell of the tortoise. Traditionally 'Ang Ku' or 'Red Tortoise is coloured red to signify prosperity. To avoid artificial colouring I have choosen sweet pototoes for the dough.
