It has been a great day into night as usual yesterday. Frankly, I was deprived of quality sleep as usual but I was glad I have pulled though with my jolly friends and jokes yesterday !
Poor Ah Cheng was still sick from her cough but she has insisted to help out in the kitchen with all the frying, cutting, washing and other stuff! Hope she will recover from her flu very soon.
We have many dishes to cook and everyone chipped in to help. Gavin has also demonstrated the traditional way of cutting the century eggs with a string. Fang has shredded the skins from the skinny asparagus which was a delicate affair. Tiang prepared her many ingredients for her pepper spaggetti. The ingredients used for this dish were painstakingly shared between Cheng and Tiang. Many efforts have been placed into all dishes and we were glad that all can help in one way or another. I couldn't have said more ... the fresh steam fish by LL, the delicious soup by Shark, the nice chicken curry from ACE, the cold and fried dishes by Cheng, the fruits salad from Fang ... hope I did not missed out anyone ...
This time round, we have booked the open kitchen area for our gathering. It was a blissful day. There is always risk of rain when you held your gathering outside your protected shelter. However, it was a nice change to be outside with fresh air and wind. I did not know that we could actually use the 2 stoves for heating up food which was really great. We heated up Shark's soup and Andrew's chicken curry and later even the 2 fishes !
It was a wonderful day ! Thanks for sharing the CNY with us at HVR ! And thanks for helping the dishes too !
Min Min said "HUAT Ar" very loudly in this video ... so cute ! Thanks to Fang for buying this delicious Lou Hei from The Soup Restaurant. This Lou Hei is recommended due to value for money (Est $18.60) and quality of ingredients. The 2 little girls have enjoyed this dish a lot ! So does the rest of us !
The 2 girls were so cute ! Watch this video. There's another video below which is a trial video before this actual one.
Food glorious food ! Home-made !
Somehow, I like this trial video better. How about you ?
