Seems like Chinese New Year is just round the corner, it's the time where people seem to eat different kinds of food for this celebration.. Therefore.. Post pictures up on what you have around the Chinese New Year celebration period As some people don't keep traditions and some do -innocent
awww....too late to take pics as my cousins and I finished almost everthing. =P But, I think we generally have 9 dishes each year. I'll go to the market and buy roast pork and salt water chicken for CNY. My mom will use these two items to "bai sun" before we can have dinner.
oooh i woulda spelt is has joung lol but i never knew you eat that in CNY? i thouhgt it was "dune ng" festival?
hmm yeah i didnt u'll eat zhong/joung in CNY stuff i made 1st day (not the cakes ha) second day went over somewhere, too busy no pics XD but we ate rice cakes again, my grandma did it so much better ahhhh, & sweet rice cakes, those rib thing, veggies, & definitely steamed fish
Phoenixgirl had a feast, some similar stuff that I had too. Kay with her international style going on, I like your tofu mango cake...mmm I was busy eating, I had big crabs, mixed seafood stir fried, veg/mushrooms stir fried, Fu jook soup, the very tine rice noodles mixed with half dried squid and dried shrimp with some green onion, Chicken (of course), roasted pork, there was another dish but I don't remember...lol
Rawrs I shoulda gone home for the nice foods :( All i had at 1 in the morning was rice, chicken and a steamed egg lol Not very 9 big dishes isit? lol
It wasn't even a whole chicken.. lol it was like 7 pieces of drumsticks and thighs that i had to make myself :(
I didn't have anything between instant noodle and kimchi so yeah .. BBGirl .. you were a lot better off than me. There are just too many thing going on in the house and we just don't have the time and energy to make it big.
but you had your family, whereas i'm not with my family only my BF who doesn't celebrate CNY :( but then he did take me out to see a show and that celebrated CNY ^__^
No pics but there was Shark Finning soup, roast duck,Lobster in red sauce,steam fish,chicken,vegetables,mui choi yuk, hoisem
seems most people had similar dishes an some fusion things going on... we should so get together an a do a PA feast :eat:
you can get together w/ you bf and make a family .. lol @ phoenix .. PA feast .. who's cooking? you?? @ mj9 .. damn .. that's a lot of food there .. how many members are in your family? gee .. if ya'll don't finish it and food spoiled .. wouldn't it be a waste.
HAH! My family planning ain't gonna happen then I have a stable job which means after I have graduated haha
one thing i learned from experience .. don't plan everything ..let nature takes its course. life is too short to wait for things to happen .. we all say .. wait till i grad ... then stable job .. finish grad school .. get mngt job .. then you know what .. 10 yrs have passed you by ...your bf prob moves on .. lol yes, financially ready is important but i think physically, emotionally, and mentally ready is even more important.
