Eve of CNY
Unlike the previous years, where Mom will cook up a storm in the kitchen... this year, we had our reunion dinner at a restaurant instead. It's really tiring to prepare food for so many people.. so, I think it's time for Mom to have a break :)
We went to our usual 'Sun Seng' Restaurant but we can only order the set dinner as per their CNY menu.
After dinner... also had pizza for supper... @_@
1st Day of CNY
Mom cooked a vegetarian dish for today. Every year, we'll be vegetarian for a day. The thing is, I have something pending that I need to do at the office.. so er.. I actually went to my office on the 1st day of CNY to settle everything. Nel sent me to office and YH and HL also tag along.. hoping to have durian smoothie (we were lucky as the cafe was opened even on public holiday).
I spent the whole day at Mom's. Hayley got this pack of 'stuff' that I find so familiar..... it's something that I played a lot as a kid....
Blowing bubbles!
Again, usual Mom will also cook up a storm for lunch on the 2nd day of CNY. This year.. instead of all the hassle, we ordered pizza for lunch :p
3 large + 3 regular pizzas for the price of 3 large pizzas... for the 11 of us
Dinner at home...
After dinner, played a round of Monopoly with Nel and Yuen... I won 3.4k in cash... (not including all the properties :p)
3rd Day of CNY
I tried to bake chocolate lava again (after the first failed attempt - being over cooked without the lava effect). But this time around... it's just perfect! :) The chocolate just ooze out nicely from the centre... yums!
We had vegetarian food for dinner at Nanking Restaurant.
Vegetarian Yee Sang
4th Day of CNY
Had a 'small' Yee Sang at home... it's from those yee sang in a box that someone gave us...
Again.. in the mood to bake, I tried to bake vanilla cupcakes again (after the 1st failed attempt - being undercooked). And this time.. success!! and tastes really good. Li San and family came and we've actually finished the first round of cupcakes :p Since it's quite easy to make, I baked another round of cupcakes :p
Then brought some over to my Mom's.... as we'll be having dinner there. Had this huge portion of yee sang that KC prepared...
Then had some fried noodles prepared by KC.
10th Day of CNY
Met up with some friends for yet another Yee Sang session / lunch at Esquire Kitchen. We ordered their set meal for RM118.. excluding the Yee Sang.
On the same day, we have another dinner at Sun Seng again with Li San's family.
Now that I realise.. I had 6 sessions of Yee Sang this year.. :p With great food most of the time.. comes this big tummy too... :s how ar?
