Year of the Rabbit 2011
Kung Hei Fat Choi! Wishing everyone Good Health and a ver prosperous New Year!
It was a busy day for me on the first day of the CNY, though I woke up late at 1330 in the afternoon because of the CNY Eve’s party the night before.
Started at 1500 for my 3 New Year Visits (拜年)
Quite a lot of snacks prepared
Steamed egg custard, fried taro nest, banana cake and the most insteresting New Year Cake Spring Roll, it was a pan fried brown sugar rice cake wrapped with rice paper, yum!
my first dinner at 1730, inside the clay pot was one of the new year dishes braised seaweed with Chinese Mushroom and dried oyster
Second visit at 1830
Second dinner at 1915
a New Year mixed vegatable dish and the braised Fresh Mexican Abalone
Third visit at 2100…hm…actually I was the one who’re receiving the ‘Lai See’ red packet!
Poon Choi and the home made osmanthus jelly (桂花糕)
What a Full Day!!

Nice! All of the dishes symbolized good luck and fortune throughout the Rabbit Year! Lucky you, still getting “lai See”!!
Looks like you ate very, very well for CNY!
3 dinners? Wow… and I thought I ate a lot. lol… Happy New Year!
@stevew918 - @CurryPuffy - @christao408 - @ElusiveWords -hahaha… luckily I only had 2 days off during the CNY, and only took a bit on each meal……enjoying the taste rather than the quantity……and went to the gym the following day
Happy New Year – I was in Singapore for the run up to Chinese New Year and everything was so colourful. Everyone was buying decorations for their homes. Also got to try some real Chinese food. Completely different to western food.
@Umnenga - HNY to you too, good to know that u had a good time in Singapore, oh yes CNY for the Chinese just like most of the Westerners celebrating the x’mas!
