All things reunion-ny

Feeling hungry?? haha.. cos now that its the last day of Chinese New Year, i finally have the time to sit down and talk about the food i had for my reunion dinner.. oh, please.. i'm just 2 weeks late only.. :D

Well, this year we made some little changes and decided not to travel anywhere for our new year (we usually go to either KL or Penang).. but before that, approximately3 days before chinese new year eve, my dad's side of the family had a sit down dinner at a proper restaurant as a sort of symbolic reunion

Uncles and aunts on my dad's side..

we tossed this!

giant fish..

All i have to say regarding that lunch is that the portions were all humongous! there were only 6 dishes for 9 people, but it seemed enough to feed 2 tables, hahahaha.. and anyway, the food wasn't that great either, beware of yau kee restaurant in Rawang.. not nice food for not nice prices.. and the funny thing was that my aunt complained to the manager about the portions, she must have thought that we were weird, cos dont people usually only complain if the portions are too small??! Didnt take pictures of the chicken, prawns and other things tho, cos older people kind of think it weird if you take pictures of your food, haha...

Our own reunion dinner

only 4 people this year but anyway the food was great.. home-cooked meals are always the best! Not that i don't miss having reunion dinner with my cousins and relatives in Penang, but its always nice to have a change, and a warm cosy dinner with only your own family isn't a bad thing..

My favourite leek and tofu and 烧肉..

Steamed prawns

5 dishes for 4 people! :)

Ate a lot this chinese new year, lots of cooking by mum and dad *yums*, until i cant really remember what i ate.. Too bad that i've been having this irritating cough that won't go away, cos i missed out on the mandarin oranges this year.. sob sob.. Wish me well people, cos i feel like my ribs are about to crack from too much coughing.. Well, if i'm lucky, maybe my ab muscles will appear soon enough from the strain.. >.<..

oh yea and last but not least, something i liked a lot, prosperity yee sang with salmon slices, tossed in th comfort of our own dining table, very nice~

PS: supposed to make prints of my dad's family photo, but kind of in the lazy mood right now.. and tired too, from coughing.. :(
