Yee Sang

For the past years as a mum, I had never prepared yee sang before. This year somehow challenges me to do it. I am planning to hold a reunion gathering for my CJ friends and we have to prepare something. Unexpectedly, I decide to prepare yee sang even though I have not much knowledge about it. To make justice for myself, I start googling and somehow it has boost my confidence. 

To prepare a trial version, I had prepared for our reunion lunch. 
 
To my surprise, my people loved it!

They didn't mind another one. Here's for CNY 1st day lunch.

For CNY 2nd day lunch, we had it at a restaurant in Taiping.


Still the first one was the best among the three!

Happy lou sang!

    I have not challenged myself to do the yee sang yet..and not ready to do so this year because I have gotten a small packet of ready made yee sang from a hamper given by our company's contractor, no one wants it so I brought it home. Happy Chinese New Year to you & family!

    when you say "preparing" your own yee sang, you mean you did that from scratch?? your plate looked rather professional.. my "preparing" would be to buy from restaurant or supermarket and then just place them all on a plate.. hahahaha!! :D

    Your Yee Sang looks better than most restaurants. Next time you can pack them into Chang Jiang boxes to sell. I am sure many would order from you!

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
