CNY - Part 3

又是一个第一次的经历！

我家第一次捞鱼生！

往年都是在外头捞，跟朋友或同事一起捞，都没跟家人好好捞过一个风生水起的鱼生。今年从Sakae Sushi 买了一盒，佐料都很齐全，生鱼片也不吝啬。

看到那么多生鱼片就让我好感动！

我们就捞个春暖花开，大好前程！

CNY - Part 2

For my family, we would celebration Lunar new year by following the traditional Chinese cultural. On the first day, we would gather in the house of the most senior member of the family, greet them and give blessing, exchange of Mandarin Oranges is also a must, and wearing the auspicious colored Red (at least nothing close to black!) is compulsory.

Without fail, every first day of Lunar new year my whole family will visit my Grandma at Jurong East and will have a steamboat lunch there before we move off to the second designation. Normally my family would split into 2 group, my mum and brother would go to the temple first to make offerings and pray for good health and good fortune, the rest of the family members will proceed to Grandma's house.

CNY 2011 - Part 1

CNY preparation....

Every year top of the list when it come to CNY is......SHOPPING...!!!!!!!! (That's the only part i enjoyed most)

These are loots for this year.

Like previous years, i have to work till eve of CNY and got to rush home to do last minute cleaning and tidying, which would always take me till quite late. As a result, our dinner is never early. :(

Reunion dinner is a tradition for every family, but for the past years, my mum would just chop the 拜拜chicken and other offerings for our dinner. Then whoever hungry just take our own bowl and get our own food, never is there a Reunion dinner. Only till last year, she started this steamboat thingy, finally it's a more 像样的团圆饭. As for this year, she improved the steamboat equipment. :)

Abalone, a must have for new year. There are too many types of abalone, the vegetarian style, the mushroom lookalike kind, big ones, tiny ones, dried ones and fresh (usually preserved) ones. Prices of the abalone is also one thing we have to look out during new year, it would be like stock markets.

Ours..... canned ones of course!

My shy brother trying to escape.... haha... too bad, caught in camara.

Ugly tired me....

揾到食 - 9 Jan 2011

Found another 24hr makan store...!!!


It looks like a rambled old store from the outlook, never been there you never know they serve authentic Hong Kong Dim Sum. They have a outdoor seat and indoor air-conditioned seat, but of cos don't expect a Ding Tai Fong kind of standard there...

The indoor seating are a bit crampy, they also do not cater for big groups of diners, either 4 or 8 person seating. Thus, the 8 person sitting are difficult to get and usually shared with different groups of people.

Outdoor seat are very close to the road side, so for those who are unbearable to vehicle exhaust piping away

My partner in crime...



Scribble of order that can only be understand by the attendant there.


I always find that the "cup" for our drinks are very interesting.


皮蛋粥









一滴也不剩！



The difference of this store is the food variety, they do have their speciality that other restaurant doesn't have, they do make effort to be different from others, and i found that the taste of the food here give me an authentic feel of Hong Kong.


Last but not least, evidence of me getting fatter!

Xmas 2010

I finally have something different for X'mas this year! Unlike previous years, we usually stay home have fried chicken and watch tv together, no special count down programs for me since donkey years ago. But this year, my polymates organised a BBQ event.

BBQ my love
I fav BBQ, love the meat, love the crisp bite, love the smell and the seasoning tastes.
BBQ allows me to catch up with each other, joke around and have fun!

This hyper active fellow is Bryan's Prince, to capture a picture of him is 超级高难度！

X'mas is also month of giving (means spend money), i will usually prepare gifts for my close friends and colleagues. Some pictures of the presents, but i could only remember to take photo after i am half way through.
