When we had two reunion dinners, the first one with mom 2 days before Chinese New Year and this is what we had
Yee Sang - the auspicious platter
The higher one toss the greater of all good things to come
Braised Shark Fin with Crab Meat
Indonesian Curry fish, fish is an important CNY symbolic ..yee..yee..yau yee
Another yee, steam fish in bean paste
Sweet savoury dessert of Lotus Seed, Ginkgo and white fungus
At 12:03am sharp, the candles are lit and prayers offered, welcoming of a new beginning
There you have it, a little glimpse of the happenings prior to the Chinese New Year.
