Happy CNY!

I hardly have time to blog..and when its time to update any post, its usually done during at nites when my mind is half awake. =_=''' So i dun feel like penning down my thoughts.. too tired to think. If i were to leave it to some other days.. my post will be terribly outdated. Anyway here are some happenings during my CNY.. well, the same thing goes on again but this is my 1st yr taking down e scenes on my cammy..=)

Its good to have sth 'red' in e house..my dad is very particular over such things. Here are some typical cny decorations..


my plants are all tied with RED ribbons.



Lotus bamboo..2 baskets of mandarin oranges (more in e fridge!) and RED table runner.



Decorations on my door..haha we are not alone~



my dad bought this pretty orchid..with dark purple blots..guess he got influenced by me. =_='''



its nearly full bloom!


Let's start with renuion dinner. No one is cooking at home, so we head down to Szechuan Court @ Raffles The Plaza. Again, e same place at Prego's so u can roughly estimate our total cost. I chose this place cos all our favourite restaurants were fully booked...bo bianz..cant afford to be choosy else we may have to eat indian rojak.

Soya Sauce Chicken
Its so well marinated tt you can even taste the richness of soya sauce in its meat! So tender that u cant stop eating! Another thing i like is, 60% of this portion is breast meat.. lolz




Homemade beancurd with shredded chicken in spicy sauce
This serving is only meant for one person. Since its homemade beancurd.. it certainly taste truly like a homemade dish. Great!




Braised bai ling mushrooms with seasonal vegetables
Abalones are darn expensive on the menu..this is a subsitute. Have you tried mushrooms tat have the texture of a high grade abalone? Of cos it does taste like mushroom but unlike the usual ones we eat..tough and rubbery. This is e opposite.




Steamed cod fillet with fermented soy bean crumbs
You can compare it with e one i had at Prego's..both equal in its freshness and quality. I love the sauce..it enhances the taste of e codfish..I dont quite like those crumbs onto..taste like peanuts.




Braised Eefu noodle with golden mushroom and dried scallop
Looks so plain and tasteless but you cant imagine how wonderful this is. Aawwwww...i cant describe..it jus taste perfect.




Vegetarian Fried Rice
Very light and its a good choice if you are having side dishes tt are rich in flavour.

Its CNY day 1.. and i gotta wake up freaking early to prep myself to get ready to head down to my grandparents' place.


my granny love decorating e house for cny.. i think all elders behave e same way..


cny goodies i cant resist...


according to tradition...young generation have to kneel infront of e elders when comes to cny greetings. My cousin is e 'victim' here...he looks reluctant =p Well, in our family we aint particular over such things so its understandable tt he feels uneasy..his 1st time mah~


next is my granny's turn.. lolz

After tt, we headed down to the kaikan and i got a mini rice pack as a welcome gift. Seems like its been e same for e past few yrs.. =x



Next i acc my dad to the famous temple at waterloo street..this place is forever crowded esp on CNY. I cant imagine how pple manage to squeeeeeeze in with all tt joss stick ashes falling on ur head. The weather is scorching hot, mind you. Well, when comes to visiting religious places, you wont feel satisfied till u make ur way in. =x



The end of my cny celebn..
okies.. tat's all folks..
