Food for CNY

Yesterday morning, I was anxious to get some foodstuff for CNY. So I went to the wet shop that sells all kinds of vegetables and fishes too.

I bought some vegetables and I had used up some money. I bought some fishes too. I had to ask the boss regarding the price for my fishes. I was afraid that they would cost a lot and I didn't bring much money. The boss said, "Don't worry. If you don't have enough, I can easily take some stuff from your shop." Haha, he's so cute..

I paid him and next I bought chicken and prawns too. The lady seller told me that the total was about RM80. Gosh, I only had less that that. So I asked if I could pay later. She said, "Sure!"

I left the place and went to my shop. I saw that the boss was over there. I asked for some money and he gave but he told me not to buy any fishes and prawns. He had already bought large prawns and big fishes too. I answered that I just bought simple ones.

I went back to the shop, paid the lady and bought some more vegetables. Went over to the next shop which sells pork. Bought some and I had some money left. Enough..

Altogether I bought RM222..
What a coincidence..triple two!


The most tedious task was to peel the prawns..
I had to make sure that they were really cleaned..

 Glad that I have stocked up my fridge!
Ready for CNY feast!

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

  4. Are you going to cook all the dishes alone? That will be too taxing and exhausting unless you throw all into steamboat pot. Easy!
