Nian Gao

I went to learn making nian gao from Gina, at Kitchen Capers. So made use of what I learnt for this year's Chinese New Year.

I bought 2 sizes of boxes to pack the nian gao as gifts for relatives and friends. This is the small box. Forgot to paste the 'fu' sticker in the center of the box before I take pic.

This is the larger box. Somehow the colors look lighter in pic, the actual thing look brighter colors.
