Reunion Dinner at Home on Chinese New Year Eve

Although I live with my parents and brothers, we rarely eat together as we rarely have a meal together as my sibling and I are busy with work and we reach home at different time. Therefore, the only time when we can all have a meal together is during reunion dinner on Chinese New Year eve.

As usual, my mum prepared a sumptuous feast which always include a steamed fish, pengcai (盆菜), a hearty soup filled with abalones, prawns, scallops, duck meat, quail eggs, vegetables, meat ball like fish and pork ball. Mum also prepare tomato prawn, steamed chicken, fried wanton (dumpling), fried vegetable, ngoh hiang or Five Spice Meat Roll (five spice pork roll).
