Reunion Nite for CNY 2010

Chi8nese new year for tis yr seems approaching fast, didn't realise that cny is tis wk and seems so many chores left undone. Gotto stock up food in fridge, clean the room, prepare CNY snacks etc...oh, i didn't managed to get a new haircut and new hair colour tis year, so sad!
Improvised version of spicy seaweed crackers.
I added xtra spicyness to the sauce, sprinkle some roasted sesame seeds onto the springroll sheets before laying the nori sheets.
Its was fantastic, b4 midnite of CNY eve, Adam & Jesper managed to finish the whole bottle whereas i finished a whole can of kiuh bangkit. Oh Gosh...think i'm gonna put some weight after the new year. haha....

Mum says its tradition to scoop the very 1st bowl of rice on reunion dinner nite and place a red date on top. The bowl of rice was left to turn mouldy over the next few days~ Huat ah.......

Chinese leek with beancurd. Its says that leek symbolise~there's $$$ to count for the year, eat plenty of beancurd symbolise~getting a official post or rank.
Well, its said to be brought down from the past generationn, these beliefs and traditions still gotto follows.

Pig stomach soup with spare-ribs and dried scallop.

Wow...its been ages since i last had home-cooked pig stomach soup. Yummy~licious!

The main role of the nite~Suckling Pig!

Every year dad will place an order for suckling pig for our reunion dinner. Its getting more & more expensive as yrs goes by despite the economy downturn. Cost $160 tis yr from Kian Seng Seafood Restaurant in Ang Mo Kio.
