Gee! It has been three weeks since New Year’s Eve…and before we know it, it will be Chinese New Year already. Gosh!!! Time does fly, doesn’t it?
We had just got back from New Zealand before Christmas but my missus did cook a few dishes – chicken curry and stuff like that and we invited my in-laws over to join us, just a simple and quiet affair. A week later, we decided to have steamboat to usher in the new year, 2013…
For one thing, my daughter loves it and for another, it certainly entailed a lot less preparation and hassle. All it took was to get ready some of the stuff…
…depending on what each and everyone liked…
…and include some vegetables and daun sup (Chinese celery) as well…
…and some tung hoon (glass noodles) too…
…and throw everything into the stock and wait for it to boil…
Once it had started boiling, we could dig in already…
…and eat to our hearts’ content.
I wonder what we’ll do for Chinese New Year’s Eve – probably not steamboat again but we may have that for Chap Goh Meh or perhaps, we’ll have popiah instead. We’ll see about that when the time comes…
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
