Eve of CNY eve
876 views
Our Chinese New Year celebration this year is a little different as my parents are in KL instead of us going back to Malacca. We gathered at my eldest sister’s house on the eve of CNY eve for a feast before going back to my in-laws the next day.
Father and son ready to say goodbye to Santa and welcome the God of Prosperity instead :D
My mother cooked up a storm for us. Some of her Nyonya dishes are:
Assam Pedas. I’ve been craving for this so badly!
Sek Bak. Ethan’s favourite as I don’t cook pork at home and this is one of the rare opportunity he gets to eat this.
Cili garam. Everybody’s favourite.
Acar timun and cili. MY favourite! My goodness, I dunno how much I ate that night. I just can’t get enough of the sourish and appetising pickled cucumber. Drool!
Sengkuang and salad. We love this a lot too.
My mom also fried chicken for us all.
My mom’s famous fried chicken.
Ethan and Grandpa <3
See what my parents gave me!
We played our first kopek that night. Our first for 2013.
It was a great night where the entire family gets together and just have fun.
I know the Water Snake will be a great year for us all! :)
