Keong Hee Huat Chai!
It’s Chinese New Year again! Woohoo.. New clothes shoes, lotsa snacking, visiting, meeting old/long-lost/never-knew-existed relatives and not to forget ANGPAO!!
As some of you may be wondering.. Why “Keong Hee Huat Chai” and not “Gong Xi Fatt Chai”.. Well, Gong Xi Fatt Chai is in mandarin.. And I don’t know mandarin (well at least I’m learning bit by bit..) “Keong Hee Huat Chai” is in Hokkien, one of the many dialects in Chinese language… My family is Hokkien, so yea that’s why I’m wishing everyone a Happy Chinese New Year in Hokkien.. Okay I shall cut the crap..
I shall start with the reunion dinner on Chinese New Year’s eve..
This time around, I do not have as much photos of food compared to last year’s reunion dinner.. As some of my friends said, “Photography is not a very healthy ‘SPORT‘..” (note ‘SPORT’ NOT hobby…) So yea.. That was a phrase from a not so influential joker.. He said that because, when we were on our holiday trip to Malacca & Port Dickson (last month), I stalled a bunch of hungry ghost from eating, just to snap some photos of the food.. So this time, in order not to stall anyone during a very special dinner, I decided not to take much photos..
Here are some of my mummy’s delicious-troublesome-spentmuchtimepreparing dinner.. Home cooked 9 dishes..
The fish..
The abalone and clams..
And the best soup ever!
Soup with clams and scallops..
There were more dishes.. But as I said, I didn’t take much photos…
Day 1 of Chinese New Year was a lot of sleeping! Hahaha. I woke up at 2pm, some visitors came and go, and at 4pm I crashed on the bed.. Woke up at 6pm and headed out for another dinner with some relatives.. That’s all for updates on Day 1..
Day 2 will be great! Looking forward for it.. I just started Day 2 of Chinese New Year by watchin TV from 12am till now 6am.. Hahahah.. Good shot aye! Will be heading to my “hometown” (actually, it’s my mum’s hometown) Cheras the next morning.. I shall go get my rest.. Long day ahead!
See ya! and Happy Chinese New Year!
