A bit of this and that

Most of the time during CNY, we took it easy and I did not cooked much other than on the Eve.

On 1st day of CNY, we stayed at home, catching up on Chinese dramas. We had mee suah chicken soup for breakfast and then lunch and dinner consisted of these below.


I heated up the leftover from the Eve, ie roasted chicken.  


I bought some braised pork trotter before the CNY, so we had that too. 

I took out a pack of big prawns and steamed them with just ginger, garlic and Chinese wine. Very fresh and sweet. 


I got this ready-to-eat jellyfish from my mom. 2 packs given by her during our reunion lunch and I used up 1 pack on 2nd day of CNY lunch. 



Product of Sarawak. The jellyfish was nice, very crunchy. Just add in the seasoning and dressing that packed in the pack and toss in some crushed peanuts, it is ready to be consumed! 


Of course that was our appetizer! Our main course was steamboat on the 2nd day. 


CNY snacking was unavoidable during holiday. Everyone was busy snacking on this and that. 



I fried prawns and fish keropok this year, so the kids had been busy digging into the tin and most of the keropok was gone by 2nd day!! 

It has been very warm this CNY. Plus with our air-con was switched on almost the whole day, we tried keep cool with some mung bean soup. Too much of snacking and eating, so a nice, cool dessert to cool ourselves.

Yes, love all the CNY snacks especially the fish and prawn crackers. This year I didn't prepare much because our boys are not able to celebrate with us because of the lockdown.

Keropok and acar - the best combination.

Hi, long time reader of your blog. I read one of your older entries about having a great tuition teacher in Chinese while you were living in Sibu.

Keropok and acar is a must for CNY here in Sarawak.

I am sure the prawns are tasty, fresh and sweet with the Chinese Wine. Oh steamboat, we had that on the first day of CNY at my uncle's house.
