Reunion Dinner for Year of Tiger

Posted on Feb 14 in Event, Food and Drinksby ApplePrint

Like last year, we had our reunion dinner at Hong Kong Noodle House, a Chinese restaurant. The first and essential dish is “Lao Sheng” (捞生). Normally comes in 7 different colors (sliced food) with raw fish slice, symbolized prosperity.

Everyone participated in the mixing.

Mandarin oranges is another must have item. Dad was so mischievous by drawing a smiley face on the used tissue. Somewhat cute.

If you have been following my food post on typical Chinese cuisine, this type of dish is no longer a stranger. It’s known as the “cold dish”.

Next, we had shark fin soup. I don’t know if this is really shark fin, perhaps only crab meat. The soup is nice after mixing with adequate black vinegar.

Steamed fish. Fish is another crucial dish during Chinese new year, because it represents wealth.

The butter prawn taste really great. The pineapple served beside goes well with the prawn.

Herbal chicken. Quite nice too.

How can we have no veggies? Here’s broccoli with mushroom, abalone and wombok.

Last dish of the night, we had sweeten glutinous rice as dessert.

A nice thing to remember is, Orange was invited to join our family reunion dinner on Chinese new year for the very first time after we had spent 4 years and 4 months together. ^_^

We also took some family portrait. Due to privacy concern, I’m not going to post their photos here. But, of course it’s no prob to show off my cute sis, Cherry.

How was your reunion dinner? Did you enjoy yourself? I was so full after finishing the meal. It was a great time together with family.

Happy Chinese New Year.

May the year of Tiger bring wealth and prosperity to you.
