although i could not go visiting during the first few days of CNY and no ang pows till date, the feasting continued right at home...
since my mom is only home for these few days, reunion dinner is the only time i get to taste her cooking... so had the traditional dishes like lotus root soup, prawns (to have a happy year ahead), steamed fish (for a year of abundance), my favourite black moss with dried oyster and mushroom or "fatt choy ho si", stir fried vegetables and roast duck from "dian xiao er" that we ordered a week ago...
next morning breakfast was the new year goodies that i bought way before the incident, and some from mom. since no one could come to our place, we have to find a way to finish all these...
as we played mahjong the whole night and since there was no need to go visiting, mom slept a little later. so we ordered KFC and Pizza Hut for lunch... yes... i know... i can't believe it myself... had to wait till dinner to get to eat mom's "zhai" or vegetables stew. she usually cooks a big pot enough to keep for 2 days!
today, the breakfast menu remains the same... lunch was "zhai" and dinner was steamed fish, broccoli and prawns in oyster sauce.
that's not all, i was snacking on new year goodies or mandarin oranges in between meals... i was practically munching non-stop! oh dear, i hope i could fit into my clothes tomorrow when i got to my boss's place! hey... at least i am enjoying 1 part of the holiday!
Bigger picture is the one occupying the desk now... hhehehehe go ask sy why
