Is the taro basket dough/batter the same as used for the deep fried stuffed dim sum wu gok?
Yes, the same, but made thicker, so the inside is moister.

Our annual family Chinese New Year dinner - and it just has to be Maple Palace, the only Chinese fine dining restaurant of note in Penang. There were 31 of us, divided into 3 tables of roughly10 each.
- Any CNY dinner will start off with the raucous. traditional lo hei (communal tossing) of the Yee Sang (raw fish salad).
The rest of the dinner deviated very little from the spread we had from previous years:
2) Braised Golden Sharks-fin with Dried Seafood
- Poached Corn-fed Chicken with Shallot-Ginger- Scallion Sauce
-
Steamed Marble Goby with Two-Types of Chili Sauce, served with Cuttlefish Balls
-
Braised Two-Head Australian Abalone, Sea Cucumber, Dried Oysters, Black Moss Fungus, and Broccoli
-
Claypot Rice with Assorted Dried Meats & Sausages
Desserts
7) Nian Gao (New Year Cake) with Grated Coconut & Crushed Peanuts
- Longan, Lotus Seeds, Sea Coconut & Snow Fungus Dessert
