Chiu Chow kid Steven Ma's family does not have the tradition of visiting at the new year, so he has always had a lot of freedom at the new year. When he was younger, after eating the family meal on New Year's Eve, his parents would take him to an aunt's to eat 'Ham Cha' (Salty Tea) until this aunt passed away and he was no longer able to eat it any more. However, he has sorely missed this traditional food from his origins.
Last year, when Steven mentioned this story to TVB's hair stylist 'big sister' Tai Kuen, he found out that her sister-in-law knows how to make 'Ham Cha' and offered to make some for him. This year, Steven remembered the recipe to make this dish and tried to prepare it for himself to relive the feeling of the past. As the put a spoonful of Ham Cha into his mouth, he could only say: "I am speechless, it is too delicious!"
As Steven cooked the dish, he seemed very au fait with it and it turns out that his father looks after the cooking at home, but he has managed to absorb some of his skills and cooking is no challenge to him. He still remembers that in the early hours of bygone New Years, his parents would fry up some prawn crackers, but he didn't know the meaning behind it. Also, every year, his father would stew a big pot of squid and pork that they could go and eat at any time during the new year. "My father made a pot this year too, when he went to buy the squid, the stall owner was curious as to what he was making. As well as squid and pork, the other ingredients are winter mushrooms and lettuce." With his father doing the cooking, as well as watching, Steven's other use was to make soup dumplings. His favourite food is savoury soup dumplings that are filled with winter mushrooms, pork and dried shrimp, then put into boiling soup. he feels that this soup is the most delicious.
"In the past, in the morning of the new year when I woke up, I would kneel and present tea to my mother and father to greet them. On the second day, we would eat Muli cake and New Year cake, but now we are all grown up, when we see it at home, we will already go and eat it a few days before the new year." Steven then suddenly adds: "As we are Chiu Chow people, my father would put a cup of strong Kung Fu Tea down to drink, but now he does not do that because they are busy and we have not learned how to do it and the tradition will be lost. However, my father does buy flowers to decorate the home. This year we did not buy any peach blossom because the petals fall all over the floor. We did buy some narcissus and in the past we have bought chrysanthemums and gladioli, but now my family are not interested."
As Steven does not want his father to work too hard, they ordered a 'basin banquet' for the end of year meal together with a couple of extra dishes that his father likes such as chicken and squid. After six months of working away, Steven is happy to be able to spend the occasion in Hong Kong with his family.

Hey, my uncle's chui chow! Ya, you're right Bich Nga, he do look cute in those two pix. You know what? I think when Steven cries in that serie, is really good, I mean, it made me cry at times too!
"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail".
lol well of course he made ppl cry!! taht's the whole point! but i'd rather have him not cry.. duh.. who doesn't? i'd rather have him peppy!! lol.. i guess that's what makes him a good actor huh? doing all kinds of roles.
hey, i bought one of steven's books in yesasia! i just got it a while ago the title is ma tzai yen zhong de nu ren. it looks good! im planning to buy his other book also, but the peso-$ rate is too high!

it's actually his interviews with several (30) females from the industry. includes maggie cheung, jessica hsuan, joyce tang, cerina de garca, lisa wang, fei jie, luo mei chuen, nadia chan, kai ming hwey, angie chiu, etc. (can't remember the others now) it includes his views on them and his actual interview. it's quite inspirational. the interviewees opened up their dreams and expectations, their failures and struggles....so many things.

Steven Ma also appeared at the show as a guest star and received his lucky packet and some real gold. Of course he was pleased, but as the temperature at the venue was quite high, he only wore a thin top, but even without dancing, he was sweating a lot. Even his contact lens had moved out of position and this made him rather uncomfortable. In the new year, he visited Macau with his family for a day and although he did not try his luck in the casino, for the first time in over ten years, he played Mah Jong to fill the space on the table and lost a few thousand dollars. Luckily, he received $10,000 in lucky packets, the largest being from his publishing boss who gave him $5000. Steven has recently renewed his contract with TVB for another 18 months and will begin filming series again on 1st April. Also, he hopes to be able to move to the variety show artistes department and admits he would very much like to be an MC.

Yeah! Steven renewed his contract with TVB!!!!!!! But I find that it's a short period of time. I mean, only one and a half year? Anyways, if he's happy, I'm happy.....I think. LOL
"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail".
uh, is that really steven's picture? b/c it...is...really...UGLY...lol
i agree w/ bich nga's comment. really ugly pic there he looks stuffed up and i don't think what he wore was a THIN top, it looks rather thick to me
yay! i finished reading steven's book in 2 nights! it's a great book. it featured several success stories of the women he interviewed, and it actually changed my views on some of the ppl there. it's only now that i found out that luo mei chuen (leading lady of leon lai in cheung man kung chun kei) had gone deaf from a scuba diving accident! steven interviewed her and she narrated how she managed to stand up again to become an emcee for tvb. in the book, steven included his observations, the actual interview, and his comments after each interview.
