JOHOR BARU: Many people are now using bamboo charcoal to make the Chinese New Year staple called love letters, or eggrolls.

Black is not usually associated with the auspicious occasion but in the name of health, customers are preferring bamboo charcoal love letters as treats for their family and friends because the dark-coloured titbits are less sweet.
