This year, I cooked reunion dinner for the family.
Planned for 6pm dinner, so I started to cook at 4pm. Preparation took longer time than actual cooking!
We received this big white pomfret (or is it silver pomfret) from hubby's friend last week. So we had it steamed with garlic, ginger, tomato and tamarind.
Another gift from hubby's colleague, shark fin!! She also bought us a container of frozen crab meats and clams to go with the shark fin, so I cooked shark fin soup that evening.
I followed Rasa Malaysia's Chinese roast chicken for my chicken dish and it turned out great although mine wasn't properly glazed. Taste-wise, it was nice.
Hubby's favourite childhood food during CNY. Breaded scallop! We got a pack of 15 breaded surimi scallop last December from Jakar when we bought the sio bee. Everyone enjoyed this pan-fried scallop very much.
Leek is one of the must-have during CNY, so I made this leek with fish maw and carrot. Not the kids' favourite dish apparently as it mostly went into my and hubby's tummies. Lol.
My homemade pork ngoh hiang. I made and freeze few ngoh hiang a couple days prior to the eve. I took out 2 ngoh hiang and fried it for our dinner.
Lastly was abalones in brown sauce. Rare dish on our table. I will blog about this delicacy more in my next post.
Wahhhhh!!!! Abalone!!! Oh no!!! Save the sharks!!! My missus made ngor hiang every year but not this year - guess we got a bit bored with it.
ReplyDeleteThe dishes in my Reunion Dinner in my blogpost tomorrow...and since then we have been eating the leftovers, still a lot to go!!!
Wow! That is a lot of food for 3 children and 2 adults. Guess you have a lot remaining also unless you and your husband turn on pacman mode and stuff everything into the tummy. Hhhmmm, guess your husband's colleague is not enlightened yet. Even famous and big restaurants do not cook and do not serve sharks' fins anymore. Save the sharks! Like stp says.
ReplyDeleteBreaded scallop looks interesting. My favourite would be the pork ngoh hiang. That's a lot of dishes for you to prepare.
ReplyDeleteMy mom used to make Ngoh Hiang, not making any more as it needs a lot of effort and quite tedious. Wow! You are a fast cooker, 2 hours settle everything and so many dishes. My favourites here would be the ngoh hiang, the breaded scallop and the fish maws! Yums. I am sure your family enjoyed this reunion dinner, they are so blesssed. Happy Niu Year to you and your family Rose.
ReplyDeleteI also like the White Pomfret yums!
ReplyDeleteA scrumptious feast!! One day I would like to try making or hiang, I tried once but with the wrong beancurd skin... hahaha..
