A modest CNY eve get together dinner for our small family of 4. For the chinese community, those steeped in tradition & the more contemporary ones alike, this is the one most important dinner of the year- reuniting families together for the joyous celebration of ushering the new year with renewed hope & everything good. For the auspicious dinner we had the best of mom's traditional homey dishes:
1. Ngo hiang - minced meat wrapped in rolls; think poh-piah dipped in belachan -yummy!
2. Hai som t'ng - sea cucumber soup; think shark's fin soup

3. Hu pio t'ng - fish maw soup with meat/prawn balls
4. Succulent fried prawns - tempura style
5. Suan na chai with prawns -think Lucky vege
6. Steamed Fukui fish - another auspicous dish

Though i'm not as aptly desriptive when it comes to food, but enjoying good food has always been a passionate endeavor for me. Now that it's past dinner time, the onslaught of fireworks are slowly picking up despite the rain.

Well, Chinese people always believe in starting everything new with a big Bang. On an ending note, wishing all you fellas out there a Happy & Prosperous CNY 2007! =)
