Fish Nian Gao

This Fish Nian Gao, "Nian Nian You Yu" will be the last item in my CNY cookout. I have been too busy to post the other CNY cookout recipes thus I will share the rest of the CNY recipes the next CNY. Phew! Got to have a long neck...to look forward to the next CNY!
I really like this fish nian gao mould. The end product is very pretty. The gold and creamy white color of this nian gao is really striking and has a great resemblance to the real carp fish.
What's more the auspicious meaning behind this fish nian gao is "having extras every year". Wow! Extras in everything...especially gold, cash and health every year - isn't that everybody's dream!
