  I am looking forward to the coming Chinese New Year festival. Yeah I will be going back to my mom’s place and enjoy her cooking! That is one thing I missed.

  I have started to make Chinese New Year lanterns for decorating my home. I saw one post from my pool of bloggers blogging about it. It has some good tutorials in it. Here are my lanterns and below are instructions to make these lanterns. Have fun with it.

• Birthday Treat

  06.07.09 |Special Day Event| Permalink | 3 Comments

  I had maggi noodle for lunch so that I can enjoy my birthday treat at TGIF. However the food at TGIF was not good. My chicken was overcooked and my hubby’s pasta was too cheesy.

  
  
  

  By the way, children eat for free but only 2 children eat for 1 family. If a family has more than 2 kids, the third one has to pay. Hrmm, I wonder what it is trying to tell us. Not to have too many children? I don’t have 3 children but I did bring a 3rd child, my nephew. He got his meal free because my in laws were there to satisfy their silly criteria. Ooh, another thing, they charged for RM2 for BBQ sauce. Oh men!

  
  

  

  That’s it, I will not go back there again!

  However the best is still the free ice-cream mud pie. It was simply delicious.

  
  
  

• CNY Reunion Dinner

  Chinese New Year Reunion Dinner is very important to a Chinese family. It is a time where every one from the family gathered to have a peaceful dinner together. We come together to catch up with one another. My mom always prepared great dishes for the occasion. I always looked forward to go back to taste my mom’s cooking.

  However being married, I have to go to my in-laws home for reunion dinner. Thanks to my hubby and his family, I can have reunion dinner in my parent’s home every alternate year.

  As usual, my mom will have lots of dishes until it covers the entire table. The meals are eaten over a few days. A few of my favorite dishes is the Mushroom Stew, Fatt Choy Abalone and the Sourish Vegetables (Asam Chai Boi). It is certainly a scrumptious meal.

• Boxing Day

  Today is Boxing Day and it is celebrated by most Commonwealth country such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada and UK. I am not sure why Malaysia is left out. No it is not a day to wrestle. Traditionally it is a day where the bosses give out gifts to the employees and the poor. Box as in Christmas box.

  In some places, some families will receive a box full of goodies after Christmas Day. Boxes are given out. Some people will box up all the Christmas decoration.

  For me, I have to work on Boxing Day. Sigh.

• The View Buffet Lunch

  My department has a mini celebration and we had a scrumptious meal at Equatorial TheView. It has a view of the BJ Golf Course and part of Penang. We had limited choice in Penang for Lunch Buffet, not as many as KL. We also need to choose somewhere nearby. The meal, no words can express. You have to see it yourself. I love Oysters, look at those oysters on the bar. Someone joked that we have to calculate how many oysters we consume to breakeven the cost of the meal. The buffet had different salads, soup, different seafood, smoked salmon, lots of delicious dessert. Then there is the main course. After the meal, it was so difficult to concentrate with my work. Fortunately time flies through and it was 5:30pm.

• Happy Belated Dumpling Day!!

  Yesterday was Dumpling Day. My neighbor made dumpling. My house was filled with the delicious aroma of those dumplings. They gave some to me. It was so good, wanted to ask for more. :giggles: I have been having dumpling for breakfast these few days.

  I always wonder how they make it. Usually in the wet market here, they will have a special section that sells all the dumpling ingredients. I am always so tempted to buy and try it at home. If any of you know how to do it, please contribute your recipe on http://cookblog.mybabybay.com
