Happy Chinese New Year! This week, Denise has something deliciously festive to recommend - suan pan zi (算盘子), or Abacus seeds, which get their name from the ancient calculating tool, the abacus (also called a counting frame).

Madam Yam is available for delivery or pickup and ordered via instagram or facebook. It looked so good, she just had to give it a try and she was not disappointed...
