Happy 元宵节 or Chinese Valentine Day!

Today is the fifteenth day of Chinese or Lunar New Year. My family, a traditional Teochew family had a sumptuous dinner together. I must say the dishes are so much better compared to the reunion day on Chinese New Year Eve as my brother ordered from a caterer. 

We had a lavish home-cooked dinner which include abalone,shark fins, fried tiger prawns, stir-fried chili tomato prawns prepare by my elder brother who is talented in cooking just like my mum, rich fragrant soup with many dishes like abalone, quail eggs, fish maw, fish and pork balls. Maybe its a Teochew thing. We love to eat fish and pork balls. :) 

 8 dishes prepared by my mum and elder brother.  Yummy dinner today!

Happy Lunar New Year!

Happy Lunar New Year to all my lovely readers! To all my Chinese readers, I wish you all a Joyous and Prosperous New Year! This festival is great time for catching up and bonding with relatives. As a single, I can still receive red packets (with $$$ inside) , as shown below. Thankfully my relatives never ask me when I'm getting married as they know I'll be unhappy. 

With all the feasting on new year goodies, I must exercise more.
