I went over to YK's house for reunion lunch with his dad and him before they headed for their reunion dinner/ steamboat at his grandma's.
I had my reunion dinner at East Ocean, Takashimaya. It was a great feast, so it's a convenient excuse for a cheat day (a break from my diet). Last year's reunion dinner at Palm Beach Seafood Restaurant was fantastic! It was about $1,388 per table, but it was good, very very good. Thank god this year's didn't pale in comparison either. I'll let the pictures do the talking. :)
My outfit for the night. Chanel bag x Chanel heels.
Super long queue! Can you even see the end of the 'line'? BUT WE'RE VIPs, SO WE'RE THE FIRST TO BE SEATED! :)
Mummy <3
Lou Hei
I only chiong (rush) for the Salmon first!
Crispy fatty pork
Suckling pig
I don't know what this is called but we usually dip it in the sweet sauce and eat it with the suckling pig. It's a little like flattened bread.
Starters: Duck, Goose(?), Jelly fish(?), Char Siew
This Salted Chicken is damn good. *thumbs up*
The round table was spinning too fast, I couldn't capture a worthy picture of this fish! :(
Shark Fins Soup *mama mia*
Abalone, my faveee!
There are many ways to cook the left over meat of the suckling pig, but we always do it the salt and pepper way.
My controlled portion of Leaf Wrapped Rice (haha 荷包饭). I still can eat good food, but to diet I have to consume low amount of carbohydrates.
Prawns *finger licking good*
Yee Fu Noodles, again low carbohydrates intake.
年糕 is a must! What is it called in English, anybody knows?
Red Bean Soup with Sesame Tang Yuan (红豆沙芝麻汤圆) to end the 13(?) course meal reunion dinner.
*burp*
I ate so much, omg. Hahaha but I'm not complaining. Round 2 let's go!
Day 1 of the Lunar New Year - 31st January, Friday
Annual buffet lunch at my gram's, standard one. We're always the earliest to reach, every single year without fail. My mum and I will just 拜年 to my grandma first and we'll wait for my uncles, aunties, and cousins to slowly stroll in. Important part: I'll patiently wait to collect ang baos (red packets) kaching$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!
My outfit for the day. Hermès bag x Love Bonito dress x Chanel heels
I peeled like some 6 mandarin oranges?! My fingers were stinging for awhile! :(
TADAH
Close up shot of my oranges. Heh heh
Famous Char Siew from Clementi
Abalone wahahaha
Cantonese forte - Cheng Teng Dessert
The Buffet
Assorted vegetables
Popiah, spring rolls
Thai style honey glazed chicken
Stir fried beef
Yee Fu Noodle
Sweet and sour fish, my all time favourite!!
Fried rice
The damn fantastic cereal prawn!
All prepared for 3 rounds of Lou Hei..
Round 1, 2 and 3 all about the same photo lah. HAHA
I won money! :) My granny is so huggable!!! <3
Mummy and big Aunt. The both of them made me laugh till I teared a little.
And I lost money.. :(
Gambling in my grandma's room with cousins. Heh heh
My damn epic stressed face while trying to break even with regards to the damage in my pocket. LOL
Finally Day 1 of CNY has come to an end. I'm so tired, but I really love occasions like these.
As always, a photo with my favourite cousin, Li Ting.
And a new addition to my family this CNY, YK. I'm glad he enjoyed himself. (Everybody keep saying he handsome, like 10 times in a week so far, hahaha somebody fly alr please.)
Day 2 of the Lunar New Year - 1st February, Saturday
I went to YK's granny's place for visiting today!
His second brother picked me up and oh HI PORKY!
SO CUTEEE!
I LOVE DOGSSS <3
Apparently CNY visiting at his place is so different as compared to mine. They don't need to exchange oranges and wish the elders with a lot of idioms. They don't have buffet but all home cooked food (which I think is really sweet). They don't have lou hei. They don't play mahjong. But we all play cards. HAHA
I lost a little from black jack, won a little from in-between.
I'm so addicted to these cookies, don't they look adorable? Awww nom nom nom
YK looks like THIS when he was young, say hi to Benjamin! Ben Ben is a photocopied version of a baby YK. I kid you not. One day Ben Ben is gonna grow up to be a heartbreaker just like his uncle.
"I'm not a heartbreaker." Awww <3
The love of my life.
We are glowin' hahaha
My outfit of the day. It's nothing spectacular, just a little red dress and my current favourite Hermès bag.
Day 3 of the Lunar New Year - 2nd February, Sunday.
We went to Uncle Ray's for visiting (more like feasting haha)!
I think we're starting to look like one another. :)
He is sooo good with kids awww. <3 Even Ellie is offering him food!
Callie, YK and Ellie
See, feast right! 3 crabs and so many other dishes!!
Kehkeh (Callie) is laughing when held her waist. Ellie will grow to be a supermodel confirm plus chop.
They make me so happy that I can't even see my eyes. LOLOLOL
Meet Caitlyn, so adorable right. *screams and pinches cheeks*
Sorry, he most adorable. *hugs*
My sister from another mother, Ashley. Eldest sister of Callie and Ellie.
Love you baby girl
You're part of us now, YK.
Oh Ashley tied my hair for me! :) Mummy, Me and Ashley
Mummy <3
Round 5 of Lou hei omgomgomg my waistline
HUAT AH
Ellie, Kayden, Callie and Caitlyn
Callie asked gorgor (brother) to carry her, he is so good with kids.
He is soo good with kids.
Callie says 'I also want, I also want' *pulls Ellie's leg*
Sarah also wants leh. :(
But Ashley only wants me, heh heh. :)
Ellie
Kayden
WHAAAT?
There you have it! That's how I celebrated 3 days of Lunar New Year in 2014. Just one more week to my 21st birthday party and I lost 4 kg to fit into my dress. Amidst all the feasting I still managed to lose weight, not too bad uh. :)
