No fancy meal for New Year celebration. Just stayed at home, cooked meals and relaxed with family.
On the eve night, hubby bought home some chicken satay for supper. The kids stayed up till midnight, so they requested supper when the dad went out earlier.
RM0.80 each, hubby ordered 30 sticks of satay chicken. Initially we wanted its pork satay but they were all sold out!! So, chicken satay would do. The strong lemongrass and marinade were so tasty and flavourful. The kids preferred pork more but they did enjoyed the chicken satay.
No, we didn't finished the whole 30 sticks. Left some for the next day.
On New Year morning, hubby and I went here for breakfast. Initially we wanted to bring MIL to 3rd Mile Bazaar for wet market and breakfast but she didn't want to go so we ended up just stayed within MJC.
We had our usual breakfast of kolo mee and pork liver soup. After that, we went to nearby mini mart to get our vegetables and meat.
Just when we reached home, a friend called and asked whether we were interested to buy duck bak kwa!!! Oh yes, duck. That was the first we ever heard and seen.
RM55 per pack. Imported from Johor, arrived on the New Year eve. We bought a pack from her; will taste this dried meat delicacy during CNY.
Our New Year lunch was like this. Fried chicken wings, satay chicken, stir fried eggplants with minced meats and stir fried kangkong with pig's blood cubes.
In the afternoon, hubby, mil and I shared this mussels and scallop pillow dumpling that we bought from Grandma Bak Kut Teh.
Big dumpling with a lot of fillings, so it called for sharing. Definitely 1 person cannot finish it all without feeling bloated. Lol.
I also made a bowl of rojak for everyone. We used the rojak paste and crushed nuts bought from Sri Aman.
Dinner was more or less the same. Hubby went for his overnight fishing trip in Santubong around 4pm. The kids and I spent the evening talking with mil before calling it a night at around 9pm. The next morning slightly after 6am, I sent my mil to my BIL's house, as they drove back to Kapit that same day.
That was how we spent our New Year!!
DUCK??? So this is ark kua lah? Muahahahahahahahaha!!! You know ark kua? Gosh! That's funny! LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteThe pork liver soup looks really thick - must be so very nice.
Haven't had satay for some time. Heard of a good one here but I hear there are long queues every day so never mind! I will just buy the frozen ones from CCK and grill myself, very nice! The chicken ones, that is. The beef is just so so, if you ask me.
Oooh! I miss satay. Since pandemic started, have not had satay. Duck bak kwa is new to me. Do share with us how the duck bak kwa tastes like after you have tasted it.
ReplyDeletei had satays during the weekend as there were leftovers from the office party on last Friday evening...still taste as good after reheat.
ReplyDeleteThat's lots of yummy food, Rose. Those chicken satays look really tempting and I love the sound of duck bak kwa!
ReplyDeleteOh! Duck bak kwa, that's something new to me. Please blog about it after you have tried. LOL!
ReplyDeleteDuck bak kwa! I am curious on how it taste like.
