Chinese paper Cutting Preperation

Just came across the date for next year's 2019 Chinese Lunar new Year 1st day was fall on 6 Feb, which is before western's Valentine Day (14 Feb).

Time flight as arrow, so I have to push myself to begin my new batch Chinese paper pre-made cutting  preparation.

Yup, Chinese paper cutting required much longer time to do by hand cutting, therefore to produce a better quality Chinese paper cutting meed to spend almost 10  or more months time.

Chinese New Year Fringe Activities

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
