Where To Get Your Tikoy This Year

What I look forward to every Chinese New Year is ube tikoy.

Just because I love the color. :)

I'd rather not tell you how much of the purple thing I've eaten in the last five days (I now look like Barney - in color and in shape!), but I do have a new favorite this year...

Manila Hotel's Almond Tikoy
So soft, so smooth, and not so sweet 
(Besides, I do want to start looking like a mermaid rather than a singing dinosaur :P)

There's also a Chinese ingot-shaped tikoy made with red dates, goji berries, and nuts

Doesn't hurt that it comes in an oh so pretty box!
