Called 'pek tor'. Only seasonal period will you get roe.
Super yummy steamed with chilli and lime. 酸酸辣辣

Aiyoh, I've also started eating CNY goodies.... Never done that before, before CNY! Hope \"snake\" year is not under the influence of the \"yao gui\" star...... already announced its presence by making us binge.

Yes, 白肚鱼. CNY is usually spawning season for this species so they will be fill with roe and milt.

I already started feasting on CNY goodies but in moderation as I’m teaching. I can’t afford to have sore throat after CNY.


So far I only bought cranberry cookies, almond cookies and pineapple tarts. Was thinking of buying some more but not sure what to buy. Recommendations?
