CNY Day 2
I prepared noodles for breakfast before we adjourned to Taiping for our reunion lunch with my mum and siblings.
simple dried pork noodles
ang pow ready in my LV handbag
before we departed, lighted the fire crackers
my girl was so excited
met both my sisters at the restaurant
my mum and brother were there too
the first dish: lou sang
main dish: poon choi
Poon Choi also known as pun choi or Big Bowl Feast, is a traditional type of dish originating from Hong Kong village Cantonese cuisine. It may also be found in different parts of Hong Kong. It is served in wooden, porcelain or metal basins.

DeleteI'd rather use the money on buying additional foods than
ReplyDeletebuying such harmful items
I've seen a lot of anti firecracker ads and it was so disgusting
true but it creates the mood..

ReplyDeletea bad Idea after all, I mean it was meant to
drive bad luck away right?

DeleteWhat a nice reunion on your side on CNY day 2. Your mother must be very happy to see all of you. Are you the middle sister or youngest?
ReplyDeleteI'm the second one..My eldest sister is in JB..
DeleteI remember when I was young, the restaurants seldom prepare poon choy as their dish. Now almost every restaurants offering CNY meals have poon choy in their menu. I wonder what make poon choy so popular now.
ReplyDeleteyea, first time I had poon choi on CNY..
DeleteDo enjoy the rest of the 13 CNY days! When is an auspicious day for you to start work?
ReplyDeleteI will be working tomorrow..

DeleteThat's a lot of angpows in you bag. ;)
ReplyDeleteyea, every year I have to give quite a lot..
Deleteawww, i love that noodles you cooked!! looks so yummy and the color combi is also very appetizing too!! hmmm, i think i can have two bowls~~ :p
ReplyDeletethat is really a lot of angpows in your bag!! is that just for the trip back to Taiping, or you just have to replenish them for the sake of the whole CNY?? haha~~
Deletehey, your boss is very fashionable!! he wears more striking color than your boy, so young lah, haha!! i like that red color bermudas, this is a trend i guess a lot of youngsters are wearing this color now too~~
Deleteyour sister on the right looks like your girl, and of course both look like you too.. your brother looks like your mum.. what a happy family gathering huh?? :)
Deleteeveryone has yee sang!! i realized i have not had yee sang yet for this year!! though we have been eating out quite frequently recently, we didn't order any yee sang!! hey, i want to HUAT also leh~~
Deletethe poon choy looks loaded, but i don't really fancy that.. i prefer to have all those things cooked and eaten separately than having them all mixed into one bowl, they all taste like the same thing this way..
Deletethe ang pow are prepared just for the day..
Deleteyea, suddenly he's wearing red bermudas..well, he actually likes red..
I had yee sand twice already..
my first poon choi in malaysia..my first was in HK..
