Kapanlagi.com - Chinese New Year or commonly known as Imlek in Indonesia is not just about being together with family. Behind it, there are various traditions that are synonymous with this moment, such as various special Imlek foods that hold many meanings.
About Kue Keranjang, Made from Glutinous Rice and Sugar
One of the typical Imlek foods that many people already know is kue keranjang or in Cantonese called Nian Gao, as reported by Wikipedia. This cake is made from glutinous rice and sugar. Although it can be eaten all year round, traditionally this food is more popular as a special snack for Imlek celebration.
So why in Indonesia, especially in East Java, is this cake called Kue Keranjang? The answer is simple, because this cake is served in small baskets. The taste is indeed sweet because Nian Gao in Hokkien dialect means sweet cake.
The Warm Atmosphere of Imlek
Kue keranjang has a philosophy as a bringer of good luck. In China itself, there is a habit and belief that eating kue keranjang first in the Chinese New Year before eating other foods can make life 'sweet' and lucky throughout the year.
The Warmth of Imlek Moment with Family
Not only that, the term Nian Gao with the syllable 'Nian' which means 'sticky', the pronunciation is similar to the word 'year' and the word 'Gao' which is interpreted as 'high', makes this cake have a philosophical meaning of increasing prosperity and abundant blessings throughout the year. So, it's not surprising that in the past, Chinese people stacked a lot of sticky rice cakes high in hopes of abundant fortune and an improved standard of living.

These sweet and savory sticky rice cakes are perfect when enjoyed with warm beverages.
