Cindy,
The Chinese full moon celebration is for all Chinese babies, not just for girls. When the baby is a boy, the ang koo kuih has a different pattern on it. My brother and sis-in-law are now expecting baby #3 so if it’s a boy, no doubt you will get to see the boy version of ang koo kuih! Having said that, girls seem to run in the family! :)

Very late on replying, but I hadn’t known about Ruby’s celebration until recently. She is a doll, just like Zoe. Once again it all looks fantastic. I’m going to make curry chicken and potatoes soon; have a recipe. “Juji had also made kuih bulu.” Beautiful! The little cakes look so delicate, and the soft pink and yellow colours within are perfect for a baby girl’s party. The cake K made/decorated is lovely too; I can almost taste the frosting, yum! Red eggs are eye catching, and you mention their texture/taste; by chance I managed to boil my breakfast eggs this a.m. the same way. Delish. You know how fortunate you are to have a large family and all these feasts. I think the Chinese Full Moon Celebration is a beautiful tradition; is it only for girls? Wish we observed them! Thanks for the pics; always a pleasure seeing and reading.

juicyjuicymangoes,
Thank you for your comment! This was a particularly fantastic meal for a great family celebration. Agreed, death by curry sounds so much more appealing to me than, say, death by chocolate. :)

OK, I’ve been lurking around your blog for ages, and despite the fact that this is quite an old post, I felt compelled to make it my first comment. :)

Why? It’s just something about family gatherings, with family foods, regardless of cultural background, that grabs me. It looks like a wonderful day, Ruby is gorgeous (love her name!) – and death by curry? What a way to go! :D

I only got married a few months ago and my relatives are already asking me when they’ll get to throw a red egg and ginger party. *sigh*

flower,
You would think I would be of tired of curry and nasi kunyit by now, but I’d eat it again this week. :)

Nicole,
Heh. Nah, we don’t want kids. Just more pets.

laundrydays,
Yeah I couldn’t resist putting a few pics of her as I do think she’s a cutie. We do have an enormous amount of food every time the family gets together. I like it as you can eat your fill without worrying that there won’t be enough for everybody.

Wow,sedapnya, just like Malaysia. We had some nasi kunyit and curry too last week. I make some for our Hari Raya. I missed Ang koo kuih too.
