Muah Chee

小时候，逢年过节，母亲都会亲手做一些麻糍粑来酬神祭祖。虽然麻糍粑是母亲从中国学到的少数糕点之一，它却是受我们街坊邻居们所欢迎及期待的食物，因为这类糕点在当时当地市面上买不到的。

When I was a kid, my mother used to prepare muah chee as one of the offerings to the gods and ancestors during the Chinese festival.

My neighbours were very delighted to be offered the snack as this was the only chance they could taste it as it wasn't available in the local market then.

酬神祭祖后，母亲都会叫我去派送麻糍粑给邻居街坊们分享。

My mother would delegate me to deliver bowls of muah chee to our neighbours after the prayer  was over.

同样的，邻居们如果有任何好吃的食物也会拿给我们一起分享。这种互利互惠的精神如今已经是很少见了。

Similarly, our neighbours would share their delicacies with us whenever they had prepared extra portions. Unfortunately, this type of practice has become less common nowadays as most of us are getting more intimate with modern gadgets at the expense of preserving the inter-human relationship.
