Nian gao (also niangao; nin gou in Cantonese), sometimes translated as year cake or Chinese New Year's cake, is a food prepared from glutinous rice and consumed in Chinese cuisine.
 While it can be eaten all year round, traditionally it is most popular during Chinese New Year.
 It is also traditionally eaten during the Duanwu Festival.
 It is considered good luck to eat nian gao during this time, because "nian gao" is a homonym for "higher year."
 The Chinese word 粘 ("nián"), meaning "sticky", is identical in sound to 年, meaning "year", and the word 糕 ("gāo"), meaning "cake" is identical in sound to 高, meaning "high or tall".
 As such, eating nian gao has the symbolism of raising oneself taller in each coming year (年年高升 "niánnián gāoshēng").
 It is also known as a rice cake.
 This sticky sweet snack was believed to be an offering to the Kitchen God, with the aim that his mouth will be stuck with the sticky cake, so that he can't badmouth the human family in front of the Jade Emperor.
A fishcake (sometimes written as fish cake) is a food item similar to a croquette, consisting of filleted fish or other seafood with potato patty, sometimes coated in breadcrumbs or batter, and fried.
East Dawning (, Dongfang Cibai) is Yum China's fusion of the KFC business model with Chinese cuisine.
 Chinese food is served exclusively, but the chain focuses on the elements of Chinese cuisine that are more quickly and easily prepared.
 This excludes some dishes, such as boiled dumplings ("jiaozi"), but includes steamed pastries such as steamed buns, including the popular "xiaolongbao".
 Soft drinks are eschewed in favor of traditional and modern Chinese drinks such as teas (including milk tea), juices, and soy milk.
 However, unlike most Chinese fast food, East Dawning uses consistent recipes and preparation methods between restaurants.
 The restaurants are designed to resemble Chinese homes; for instance, the dining tables are similar to offering tables found in many homes.
Kalamay (also spelled Calamay), which means "sugar", is a sticky sweet delicacy that is popular in many regions of the Philippines.
 It is made of coconut milk, brown sugar, and ground glutinous rice.
 They can also be flavored with margarine, peanut butter, or vanilla.
 "Kalamay" can be eaten alone but is usually used as a sweetener for a number of Filipino desserts and beverages.
 It is similar to the Chinese "Nian gao" (also known as "tikoy" in the Philippines) but is sweeter and more viscous.
 A cousin of kalamay is "dodol", found in Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore and in some parts of the Philippines.
Maccu, (also known as maccu di fave, and sometimes referred to as macco), is a Sicilian soup and also a foodstuff that is prepared with dried and crushed fava beans (also known as broad beans) and fennel as primary ingredients.
 It dates back to ancient history.
 The dish is now rare in Sicily, but it occasionally appears on restaurant menus there.
 Several dishes exist using maccu as a foodstuff, such as "Bruschetta al maccú" and "Maccu di San Giuseppe", the latter of which may be served on Saint Joseph's Day in Sicily.
Howard Cai is a Chinese food critic, whisky expert and international food judge.
 Founder of the restaurant 好酒好蔡, he devotes himself to the internationalization of Chinese food and the blending of Chinese cuisine and Western wine.
 He is known as a "taste designer."
A garnish is an item or substance used as a decoration or embellishment accompanying a prepared food dish or drink.
 In many cases, it may give added or contrasting flavor.
 Some garnishes are selected mainly to augment the visual impact of the plate, while others are selected specifically for the flavor they may impart.
 This is in contrast to a condiment, a prepared sauce added to another food item primarily for its flavor.
 A food item which is served with garnish may be described as being garni, the French term for 'garnished.'
Road food is a cuisine concerning food prepared especially for hungry travelers who arrive by road.
 Most road food establishments are casual dining restaurants. American road food is associated with "comfort food" such as the hamburger, hot dog, fried chicken, barbecue, and pizza.
 Road food establishments can include fast food, cafes and barbecue shacks.

 Chun King was sold to the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, in 1966 for $63 million.
