CNY is this Friday! Are you ready for it?
This year would be a very different affair at home for us. No big celebration, and my mum-in-law is not coming over to Kuching due to MCO in Kapit.
This year I will be cooking something for the reunion dinner at home. However we will be having a reunion lunch on the eve at my parents' house.
Hubby bought 2 kg of big prawns home the other day and I had done cleaning and deveining them. If you ask what would be my menu for reunion dinner, I have a menu in my mind. Maybe I will stick to it or maybe not. We will see when the day comes. I promise that I will blog about it then.
No malls hopping and shopping for new attires this year. All our CNY clothings were bought online. I even got myself and Jan few footwear from online shop.
And no, we would not be overloaded ourselves with snacks, cookies and canned drinks this year. We only bought the stuff that we enjoy.
We received gift of butter cookies and pineapple rolls from a friend last month. I have been enjoying the pineapple rolls since then as I could not resist it.
I have a thing for pineapple tarts or rolls and I only buy them on CNY so it is an indulgence for me once a year. I bought this (RM30), snowy milk balls (RM28) and cornflake with raisin and cranberry cookies (RM25) from a friend, to show a little support to her.
Not much spring cleaning as I am busy with kids' homeschooling and they themselves have their hands full every weekdays.
For the coming festive season, we will be staying as much as indoor as possible. Strict SOP on house visiting so we would not be visiting or inviting anyone over. Psst, can save a lot on ang pow money too!! Lol!
Hope everyone has a safe and as happy as possible a holiday season!
So many gifts!!! We have to make our own or else we would hardly have much to enjoy. I also bought 2 kg of prawns - pek hay, the seawater ones (not the freshwater udang galah) - that day, it was RM38 a kg. Yes, cleaning and preparing it is such a chore!!!
ReplyDeleteyay! cookies!!!
ReplyDeleteI also just got prawn too for this coming CNY.
ReplyDeleteJust like you, I will eat pineapple tarts on CNY only and this year, mom baked herself instead of buying.
Looking forward for your reunion dinner post.
Wise decision to just stay home and no visiting except for the reunion lunch. Wow! So many cookies received. Enjoy them!
ReplyDeleteI like tarts too... finished one tub already... hahaha.. don't want to buy anymore, still got other snacks to eat until gain weight.. hahaha
ReplyDeleteYes, stay safe!!
Looks like you have received plenty of CNY goodies to enjoy even though you didn't buy much. This CNY will be more of a close family affair due to SOP. Happy CNY and stay safe.
ReplyDeleteI like pineapple tarts too, one container almost finished. We also received CNY goodies and snacks from family and friends. LOL on saving on Ang Pow money! Happy Niu Year to you and your family Rose!
