We are on the 3rd day of Chinese New Year today. Hope everyone had a great and joyful CNY holiday with family and friends over the weekend.
For reunion dinner, we went to my in-laws' house as my BIL cooked the dinner. Sorry, I did not take photos of all the food on the table. We stayed for a while before headed home and waited for midnight.
We stayed pretty late to lit up the firecrackers at 12midnight. We were joined by hubby's young cousin and Jan's cousin to witness the firecrackers and fireworks display.
So, we slept and woke up late the next morning. By the time we reached my in-laws' house it was after 9am.
Mother-in-laws cooked chicken mee suah and we had that for breakfast on the first day of CNY.
Then we went to my parents' house for lunch. My mum's Hakka specialties that day. How I missed my mum's cooking!!
Chicken Kacangma
Bamboo shoot soup
Pak lo duck (braised duck)
On the 2nd day, we visited 2 houses of relatives. In the evening, we invited hubby's side of family and relatives for a steamboat dinner.
BIL cooked and brought some wild boar meat over. A true Sarawak's exotic dish!!
The house was very noisy and merry. So many young kids, so that was expected. Lol.
On the 3rd day (today), we stay at home, welcoming anyone who cares to visit us. Not many guests; my half sisters, half-brother and bil came over. We had few good hours of chatting and drinking.
Some goodies waiting for guests. Some we bought locally, some were gifts and some were goodies we bought from China.
These packed goodies were from China. Dried crunchy red dates, tasty sunflower seeds, black sesame cookies and others. I liked that they were individually packed, easy to store and eat.
These cookies were from a friend. Tom yum goong cookies and Kopi Boy cookies from Breadsman. Not the usual cookies I would buy or taste.
Hubby is going to work tomorrow. He only took few days leave before CNY. All my kids will enjoy extra few days of holiday before schools reopen on Thursday.
