#Lunar New Year Eve

[buffetlicious]

I have shown you the Reunion Dinner (团圆饭) we had two weeks earlier due to my brother having to go oversea for his company’s training trip. Behold, here is another of our reunion dinner, albeit the home-cooked version. You saw the char siu, roasted chicken and roasted pork mum bought for the prayer earlier in the day so naturally those appeared on the dinner table. As one of my brother and his family plus my sister’s friend will be coming over, mum added extra dishes to the menu. It is not as luscious as the feast we had at the restaurant but nonetheless, it is still a scrumptious and delectable meal.

A simple Cabbage Stir-Fry with premium ingredients of canned baby abalones and scallops. Sis-in-law was commenting on the cabbage being sweet tasting. Ended up this dish emptied of the food saved for a few pieces of the abalones.

Sis was saying mum sliced the Char Siu too thickly but I on the other hand found them just nice as it offered a better texture. Sweet, charred with a smoky taste and just fatty enough to make it a wonderful eat. The Roasted Chicken (deep-fried actually) was well seasoned and succulent to go with the steamed white rice.

These extra-large Steamed Tiger Prawns were bought in Batam and delivered to our house. As the prawns were fresh, mum just steamed it without any condiment. After deshelling, we added some minced ginger sauce before sending it straight into the mouth.

Another seafood that brother order for us from Batam is this large Red Snapper which is done in a spicy style. Mum only made used of the tail portion as the fish is too big to cook properly in the wok she is using. Fresh and sweet tasting with a little spiciness made this a good dish.

Mum also prepared one of her specialties, Braised Five-Spice Pork Belly with shiitake mushrooms and hardboiled eggs. For the soup, it is Pork Ribs Soup with fried pig tendons, fish balls, corn, lettuces and dried scallops to sweeten it.

The side dishes are Pickled Daikon and spicy Nyonya Achar which is a South Asian pickled food made from a variety of vegetables and fruits preserved in brine, vinegar, edible oils and various South Asian spices.

Even though I took a little of everything, I still ended up with a Full Plate. As I slowly tucked into my meal, are you also enjoying your reunion dinner?

Happy lunar New year 🥳🥳

I know this post is now several weeks late, but I just wanted to say: if the holidays are hard for you, it's ok.

Just because there's a societal celebration doesn't mean you have to suppress your feelings.

You're not required to be happy during Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Yule, Saturnalia, Boxing Day, Las Posadas, Ōmisoka, New Year's Eve/Day, Lunar New Year, or any other holiday. Your grief, your stress, your pain is real. And it deserves to be recognized. It doesn't magically go away just because of the time of year; you're allowed to need help!

Winter is actually pretty hard for a lot of people! Seasonal depression is real, and even if you don't experience that, I think everyone gets a little tired of the cold after the first few weeks.

The point is: it gets better. Springtime is just around the corner, and you won't have to deal with any of this for another 12 months. That in and of itself is worth celebrating!!You're doing amazing!

🖤💜💙💚💛
