Another GREAT :D New Year

Family reunion-foods-joy-laughter-eat till stomach is full-what a great week

The Lunar Year is celebrated by all the Chinese in Malaysia. Now, with the concept of 1 Malaysia, everyone regardless of races celebrate the new year by visiting families back in kampung or in the city. Family reunion dinner is the most important where everyone will go back home and have a feast together with the family. 

We worked in the morning in the shop and closed early in the noon. Then, we went back home to prepare dinner. :D My father's customers will always asked for the same thing : 'Ada limau ke?' Never ending questions. Then, we will always say, 'belum celebrate lagi..next week k'. :D 

This year, we received 3 hampers and quite a number of boxes of mandarin oranges. All were given by my parents and brother's suppliers. :D So, we actually saved up a bit and no need to get mandarin oranges for all the customers. My mum, sister-in-law, my nephew and I had a fun time opening all the hampers. :D This year my brother became the chef of the house with the help of my sister and mum. I was playing with my little nephew. hehe.. But, I have began to developed interests for cooking. Due to my laziness, I still rarely cook. 

:D The yummy dishes for the night:

 prawns with tomato sauce gravy

Fried fish

Stirred fried asparagus

The foods looks good right? Thinking back of all the dishes and looking at the photos, I am already salivating. haha. It was definitely a prosperous new year to feed the stomach. :D A year like this made me put on weight just within 1 week. :D haha..This comes with a package of laughter and joy shared together.

During the first day of new year, we travelled back to Singapore to visit the extended family on my mummy's side. :D We had lots of joy and laughters. AND A WHOLE LOT OF GOOD FOODS!! :D Grandma's cooking. :D We eat and eat and eat before our food can be digested.. :D Spending time with my grandma and relatives is the best angpow I can ever received.

  2. haha.. okie.. for the prawn recipe: you need onions, garlics, spring onions(if u want), tomato sauce, chilli sauce, and PRAWNS!!

    prawns need to marinated first with salt and sugar and a bit of corn flour.

    then, u fry the garlic, onions, spring onions. Once it smells good then put in generous amount of tomato sauce and maybe a quarter of chilli sauce.

    the prawns then can be add in.. :D just cook it till the prawns are fully cook.

    the sambal belacan egg taste good!!! spicy and eggy.. :D hahaa
