@JimboJitsu Thanks - I'm still using my pc for vids- but it just cut off on me about 20 min ago - I need to hurry up and learn this movie maker program :)

[JimboJitsu]

@AsianCookingmadeEasy hehe, learning new programs is become the last thing I want to do these days I feel for you. You will get it down quickly I am sure!

Ahh, the dreaded winter melon candy i didnt like growing up. But the rest I like such as the hawflakes, water chestnuts, lucky candy (one of my fav!), etc...thanks for sharing Lila! 

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@richardchanflex lol - I don't really like the melon too much either - Thank you so much for watching and commenting :)

[Keatzrockz]

Oh I remember when I was small I like that hawcake very much I always ask my grandpa for that and now since I'm 12 years old I hate it....

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@Keatzrockz Oh I still love them - I guess my tastes haven't changed that much since I was young. Thank you so much for watching and commenting :)

I have a request! I was wondering if you know how to make green onion bun, the one you usually see in Chinese bakery. I'm stuck here the U.S Army base and there is no Asian bakery around town. Please make video on how to make this item, you would make my world 3000times better before I die in war and go to Heaven knowing I have this recipe with me:)

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@ArmyHellsKitchen I will definitely put this on my request list. Thank you so much for all that you do!! And for watching and writing this comment :)

[twochicks23]

Can i has? :3

[LTredxawn]

Also, how would one celebrate Chinese New Year? What are some traditions that take place?

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@LTredxawn The days before I mainly clean and cook. Some people hang symbolic decorations, but the main thing on New Year's Eve is to spend time with family. Since my family is a few states away I usually just have some friends over for dinner - This usually has symbolic foods like a whole fish, buddha's delight, ect. Then we watch a movie or play games till midnight -and if we make it till then - we light fire works :)

[LTredxawn]

@AsianCookingmadeEasy thanks for letting me know! Cleaning is definitely something I should do! I think I'll make one of your lovely recipes! <8D

[LTredxawn]

Looks good! <8D

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@LTredxawn Thank you :)
