Did Chinese paper cutting demo at Jurong Bird Park recently
and great to met my old friend Jason Goh doing his Dragon Beard candy in the event as well! Jason Goh is a real Dragon Beard Candy master, not those fake Dragon Beard candy master you seen in some events.
Although we know each others many years, but this is the first time i really got chance to see the process he make the real Dragon Beard Candy!
According Jason, the Dragon Beard Candy made by honey with related recipe, there are 2 types of recipe: one for indoor, one for outdoor, thought those fake master I came across in many events,totally don't know all this!
The color of the end product must be white color, the Dragon Beard Candy must be hard instead of soft, the skin of the candy, which looks like beard, and must be real fine!
This is the work by Master Jason Goh ;p
This and another Chinese New Year fringe activity that came across: Chinese Knot demo and give away, done another old friend
Katherine Mah.
and Angbao lantern making done by her as well ;p
Based on the comments from event companies, she is one of the kind artist that willing to share her art to the guests and willing to give away certain amount samples of her artworks, because according some event companies, there were few Senior Chinese Knotting artist that insisted not to give away any sample during the event.
I know Madam Tang through events, thought about 10 years or even longer, she’s an art and craft teacher as well.
Madam Tang, a local Singaporean was very talented because she can do so many different kinds of art and crafts like Chinese Paper Cutting, Chinese Dough Figurine, Wire Crafts, Chinese Calligraphy and etc. (See http://www.talentsdata.8m.com/tangsart.htm)
Just grab one ‘give away sample’ in the event from her.
