Chinese New Year - Peng Cai

There are a couple of CNY entries which are long overdue but I figure better late than never :p

These 2 pots of Peng Cai were delivered to our place on new year's eve consisting of a basket of steam fish, roast pork, prawns and crab and a second casserole of shark fin, scallops, abalone and sea cucumber.





A quick and fuss free option for families who choose to have their reunion dinner in the comfort of their homes and crave for a few extra dishes.

At $200+, it is definitely not something which is really worth the money unless on special ocassions as such. Most importantly, chinese new year = you happy i'm happy everyone happy =)

Christmas Dinner 2007

In the absence of the warmth of celebrating Christmas with my family, a dinner of steamboat (improvised with my precious rice cooker) in front of the fire place with good friends can be just as nice...

We learnt from our lesson of the terrible hangover last year...so instead of this which was taken a year before...



We had cider with fresh fruits and desserts...





A very simple but blessed Christmas day...

Christmas Eve Dinner 2007
