It's Chap Goh Meh and I have to work and miss out on the traditional dinner so I made a modernised version of a Nyonya dish/snack called pie tee/pai tee/top hat, where you painstakingly deep fry the shells one by one because the mold only ever comes in just, well one.
The traditional filling involves carrots jicama or turnips cooked together with optional shrimp, dried fried shrimp and some do green beans as well.Â
Well, my cousin made the shells this year and we've finished an entire container of the traditional filling already (at fucking last) so I went with smoked salmon with unsweetened yogurt on a bed carrots and edamame, and spicy fried potatoes with havarti and some carrots (one carrot is a lot okay?).
Oh, and some dark chocolate just to keep the compartments from rattling around.
