Lo Bak Gou (萝卜糕, Luó Bo Gāo) or daikon cake or turnip cake is a must-have dish for some families (like mine) during Lunar New Year. In this festive celebration, different families have their own auspicious dish based on where they are from. My mom is Cantonese so lo bak gou is a dish we often eat for celebrations. This is because the word cake - 糕 in Chinese character sounds like 高 (Gāo) which means high, rise, or up. Normally, we like to wish someone 步步高升 (Bou Bou Gou Sing in Cantonese) or Bù bù gāo shēng (in Mandarin) when celebrating with this dish. So, I want to wish you the same - May you rise a step higher in everything you do!
