Lunar new year part 2

February 16th, 2010

And then my brother-in-law, Aaron arrived for dinner!
For starters, we tossed Yee Sang.

yeesang3

Yee Sang is like a cold salad dish. The dish is surrounded by colourful shredded vegetables like ginger, papaya, turnip, carrots plum sauce, sesame seed and five spice powder. We usually have this dish during the Lunar new year. Everybody will gather around the table and we will all toss and mix the dish together with our chopsticks. While tossing, we’d wish good things for everyone, in hope that all our wishes will come true:)

steamboat

Our main meal for the night was steamboat. We got this steamboat from my parents as one of our wedding gifts. It’s like a hot pot, and we put the pot filled with soup stock in the middle of the table and add in meat slices and vegetables. If you come and visit me, I’d most likely cook steamboat because I love the idea of sharing a meal from one big pot.

So happy to receive a copy of Going Places in my mail!

Here is Little Mo on the MAS Airlines Inflight Magazine! A few days ago an ex-colleague messaged me and told me he had seen the article when he was on board the MAS flight. And I hadn’t had a clue then that the article had been published. I was just as surprised as him. You can read the article here.
