sticky rice is my favotite~~but actually, not all the people in china have it for chinese new year, only the people in south of china. in the north, they have dumpling for the new year. moon cake~ is for mid-autumn day, sometimes it's too sweet for me to have a lot. back to sticky rice, it can be pan-fried and eaten up with suger. or cut the large one into little dollops, boil with red bean paste and water, suger if you really like sweet, it's the dessert i really like and often had when i studied in japan.

Kong Hee Fatt Chai! Cheiyen, Well, so far, we have been having the sticky rice cakes but not moon cakes. I do not know how you have it at your end where at my end we had it by barbecuing it or coating it with a batter of eggs and flour, then deep fry it till golden brown. Both are equally nice and delicious. I must admit that every Spring Festival is a time where we really have plenty to overindulge. Better watch that waistline if you do not want to have a "torturous" slimming exercise. Have a nice day.
