34th Bon Odori Festival in Shah Alam

Bon is a Japanese Buddhist custom to honor the departed (deceased) spirits of one's ancestors. This Buddhist custom has evolved into a family reunion holiday during which people return to ancestral family places and visit and clean their ancestors' graves, and when the spirits of ancestors are supposed to revisit the household altars. It has been celebrated in Japan for more than 500 years and traditionally includes a dance, known as Bon-Odori. In Malaysia, it is celebrated on a smaller scale when compared to those in Japan. The main venue are Panasonic sports complex in Shah Alam.

Nian Kao

Nowadays, I find that it is hard to get good tasting traditional made nian kao. Traditional nian kao wrap using banana leaf which made it taste good. But for what I see now (since many years ago), many manufacturer start using plastic bag to wrap the nian kao. I found it less appealing & afraid that the nian kao probably polluted by plastic toxic. Some even wrap the whole nian kao in a plastic container which have gold bar or cartoon character shape. Who knows if they heat the nian kao in the container itself!

Hard to find nian kao which is traditionally wrap in banana leaf
