Sweet smell of CNY is here

GEORGE TOWN: Just before Chinese New Year each year for the past 28 years, residents and passers-by at Lengkok Burma are carried away by the aroma of tnee kuih, a sweet and sticky glutinous rice cake, wafting in the air.

Tnee kuih maker Neoh Aun Kean, 48, has been making the traditional delicacy at his house over the years with the help of his wife, relatives and even neighbours.
