Simpler dinner

First of all, Gong Xi Fa Cai and Happy Chinese New Year to all!!

A pause to my holiday post, it is time to usher the Year of the Rabbit. It was simpler affair this year, unlike what we had for reunion dinner last year.

Thanks to my mil, she helped me with the cooking. And hubby's niece who is staying with us for few nights; she helped with the reunion dinner yesterday. 




This year we had yee sang. We bought this prepacked yee sang and hubby did the preparation. 

The yee sang after he had done with it. Pretty nice and appetizing; we enjoyed it very much.
 
 

We bought one roasted chicken and 300g of roasted pork belly from Old Bank Cafe in the afternoon. 



My mil did most of the cooking with the help of our niece while I was busy cleaning with hubby and the kids. 

Her fish maw with 'tai ping'(peace) egg soup was very good and nostalgic as my late fil loved this dish. 


One of hubby's catch last year was used up for the reunion dinner. We can't finish the whole fish so cut it into half and steamed the head for the dinner.



Beef rendang cooked by my mil few days earlier; she heated it up for the dinner. 

Stir fried plum sauce prawns also made onto the table. 

Marinated chicken wings from previous dinner; my mil fried them up. 

This Pacific clam was cooked and gave by a friend of hubby.  Very spicy and I only took one bite. 

And that completed our reunion dinner. And as for this morning, a must to have chicken mee suah soup for breakfast. 


Wishing everyone good health, prosperity and joy in the Year of the Rabbit.

Initially wanted a whole but too big. My mil said it is ok to have the fish head.
