Byran had wanted me to go out for dinner with him mom yesterday nite. I didn’t want to rush with other families and deal with screaming kids at a restaurant or zhi-char / dai-chow place so I said I’d cook for us.
It only dawned on me that its CNY so dinner should be something special other than my hastily thrown together western meals or psuedo-chinese cooking.
stress …. looked up recipes online as well as spoke to my mom about how to choose prawns and managed to turned out a 6 course meal.
Menuu
- chicken + abalone herbal soup
- sweet & sour pork
- pacific clams with 2 types of vegetables & 3 types of mushrooms
- Fu Young Egg (longbeans + lap cheong)
- Longevity Noodles with prawn & cashew nuts
- Aloe Jelly + Peaches + Pineapple + Ice Cream
started the preparation and cooking at 4 and finished it by about 7pm.
Its really true … when u’ve spent a couple of hours cooking … you really don’t have much an appetite and u get really tired after dinner.
Anyway … it all turned out well and I’ve added 4 dishes to my list of stuff i know how to cook.
Gong Hei Fatt Choy everyone.
Have a good CNY break with lots and lots of good food … and for those who’re still lucky enough to get ang paos …. hope u get lots and lots this year
