Mr. & Mrs. Tan Fried Nian Gao @ Taman OUG, KL

 
Mr. & Mrs. Tan Fried Nian Gao
Outside Restoran Double Nine
18, Jalan Hujan Emas 4,
Taman Overseas Union,
58200 Kuala Lumpur.
Business hour: 11:30am to 5:30pm (Close on Thursday)

This is one of my colleague family run stall 30+ years back. The nian gao is handmade by themselves on daily basis. If you happen to come here, remember to try as the nian gao melts on every bite. Serve while hot.

Niangao (nin gou in Cantonese), sometimes translated as year cake or Chinese New Year's cake, is a food prepared from glutinous rice and consumed in Chinese cuisine. While it can be eaten all year round, traditionally it is most popular during Chinese New Year. It is also traditionally eaten during the Duanwu Festival. It is considered good luck to eat nian gao during this time, because "nian gao" is a homonym for "higher year." The Chinese word 粘 (nián), meaning "sticky", is identical in sound to 年, meaning "year", and the word 糕 (gāo), meaning "cake" is identical in sound to 高, meaning "high or tall". As such, eating nian gao has the symbolism of raising oneself taller in each coming year (年年高升 niánnián gāoshēng). It is also known as a rice cake. This sticky sweet snack was believed to be an offering to the Kitchen God, with the aim that his mouth will be stuck with the sticky cake, so that he can't badmouth the human family in front of the Jade Emperor. - extracted from Wikipedia.
