CNY Reunion Dinner 2013

Part #1
We had an early reunion dinner today with my in-laws, DinoPapa decides to cook up some special dishes for the occasion.  Look at the spread!  There are special names for each of the dishes but its in Chinese, I tried to translate but give up after some tries.  That bowl of creamy soup is our favourite pig stomach's soup~  Hungry!

We had a great time eating these beautiful and delicious food.

Part #2
We had our reunion dinner with my mum & siblings on chuxi or lunar new year's eve. As mum have to pray to dad in the afternoon, she cooked all the dishes earlier that day and she heat up the dishes when all of us arrived at her house. It was a simple home cooked dishes with a few of dad's favourite dishes.  We enjoy the dishes very much, mum's cooking is still the best!


These are dad's favourite food when he was around. I specially made the roast pork today for mum & the rest of the family to taste and was so happy as they say its very good. Taste as good as those sold outside at the roast pork stall. Even Bro & SIL who seldom eat roast pork give me the thumbs up!

    1. Adora, nope, definitely not a professional chef but he does love to cook =) We usually follow recipe found from books or web, the CNY dishes are from the web and we have peekture to "copy" hahha~ Its not every day we have such sumptuous meals thus no chance to balloon up.

    1. Reunion dinner is once a year affair so must put in a little bit effort.
