Chinese New Year foodies

Ah, the start to every meal during CNY :



Tossing of the Yee Sang.
Usually people of the same age group (19-30) tend to act like barbarians.
We usually end up having Yee Sang in our drinks and all over the table.

But it was nice.

So during CNY eve, me and my mum cooked up a storm for the family.
There was so much food, it was unbelievable.

Sigh.



My brother enjoying his really womanly Choya drink.


Fried White Pomfret.
Keith's favourite.


Mum's really herbal chicken herbal soup.
haaaaaa.


Stir fry brocolli mushrooms and shredded scallops.


Mum's very own sharkfin soup with scallops and mushrooms.




Suan Na, after eating this, it is believed that you can count LOADS of money.


Sea cucumber with porks leg.
YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMY!


Salted Chicken :D


Something something.
It tasted amazing though.



Ah, my very own homemade charsiew that I'm really famous for.
It was the most popular dish that day.

It tasted SO AMAZING.

Shean, you'd have killed to be here :D




My very own homemade coconut pandan agar agar.

YUMMMMMMMMMY!

And because we had an overload of food during lunch (and a long nap after),
we werent very hungry for dinner (as we were supposed to be).


So we had an extremely light steamboat dinner, as compared to the previous years when dinner was also another food overload.

Notice how Alex's tummy is bulging.
Fooooooooooooooood.

The next day of cos was CNY, we went Singapore visiting my 6th Aunt.

There, was a mini casino, and MORE FOOD!



Me being the stingy one, only betted s$1.00 each time and I only took out s$10.00 to play.

In the end I didnt win or lose.
Which was quite a good thing.


It's never a good thing when a parent is teaching his kids on how to bet at gambling at a young age!

Look at how serious the kids are!


Then, the kids and I got bored and decided to go to the playground!

I hope everyone had an amazing CNY.

I hope this year is good for you!!!!!
