2 more days to the lunar new year.

Ushering in the year of the Ox -An early Reunion Meal

Yep , i havent been blogging religiously. I've been quite busy at work , market is bad and we are working hard trying to come up with strategies to stay competitive while protecting everybody's job. Hmmm.
On a positive note, on the home front, things are a little quiet and unlike last year, I find myself -- physically exhausted. But ah...we should still get ourselves in the lunar new year cheery mood aye?

An early reunion dinner

Mom got so excited over lunar new year, she decided that we would have reunion Meal TODAY .

One day earlier than everybody else ! whahahah! Its tradition - mom made her famous , Ngoh hiang ( pork sausages with 5 spice powder , chicken curry with potatoes, Braised Duck and eggs, Garlic Prawns, Leek with tofu, Abalone soup there was just too much food! ofcourse this little guppy was on hand to be the chef's assistant chopping up the ingredients and cleaning up after the chef! heheheheh
I spent the evening trying to learn as much as I can, all of her cooking instructions, tips on braising an entire duck by hand :P eeeks.. i must say cooking an duck..with an entire face and a neck..is erm abit disturbing. I felt like hannibal lectre from silence of the lambs :P same goes for fish with faces.
Anyways by mealtime, I got too hungry and greedy after smelling mom's cooking before i realised it we had almost finished the dinner and so i managed to catch only remnents of food..i forgot to take pics la! damn!
