Chinese New Year Eve Celebration


Chinese New Year in Perth with no family members around can be rather home-sick, so we helped ourselves by organising a get-together. David and me played host, and everyone made something out for the night. As shown in the photo, we did pretty well.
Clockwise from NE is Lingcai's bakuteh(肉骨茶), my mushroom-y vegies, Yeeting's Oyster lamb stew, my luohan vegetarian dish(罗汉斋), Toh's curry with drowned eggs, Yeeting's Hakka stuffed beancurb(客家酿豆腐), David's corn soup(粟米羹) and steam fish.
Not in the photo are grilled chicken still in oven and Fanta orange drink (which reminds me of Chinese New Year every time I have it as I usually only have it during CNY) brought by Ivy, Weiqi and Duyang.

We cover 5 nationalities from only 8 people - China, Hongkong, Singapore, Brunei and Malaysia, and we all celebrate CNY back home. :)
(Well, HK is part of china, but Hongkong people are still distinct enough to be separated from mainland Chinese on many aspect, so...)

After the dinner we played some games and Mahjong. And it happened to be LC's birthday on 29th, so we threw in a small surprise as well.
It was good fun! A good CNY eve.
