CNY Reunion At Aunt’s Place

This is a yearly affair that we will hold our family’s CNY reunion dinner at my Gu-Jie’s place and we, as the younger generation will prepare the food.

We headed out to lunch and then went to get Lo Hei from Chinatown which is known for the best Yu Sheng. When we arrived, I was shocked to see a SUPER LONG queue and I continued to queue as I want my family to have the best Yu Sheng. Finally after queuing for an hour, we finally got our Yu Sheng.

In the evening, we headed down to Gu-Jie’s place and as the elderly sat to chat, we, the younger ones prepared the table, the food etc… While most of us were in the midst of preparing, some of us had to tend to the kiddos too. Zoe and Faith were happy to see each other and they can’t seem to let go of each other. It was really great to see the cousins’ hanging out together.

As usual, before the main dinner, we will have our Lo Hei as to wish everyone a great year ahead and hope all our wishes with come true with each toss. The kiddos joined us in the tossing and it was such great fun to them finally to toss stuff up without getting scolding!
We had steamboat dinner as it has been our family’s tradition. We simply love steamboat as there is less cooking and most of the dishes are cooked instantly. Everyone enjoyed the food and so did the kids.

After a sumptuous dinner, we sat around the living to recap our menu for tomorrow while enjoying the longan beancurd desserts which I made. It’s great to recap to avoid missing items on the first day of CNY.

Happy New Year in advance everyone!
