Hi everyone, like to wish all Chinese readers Gong Xi Fa Cai (one red packet pls.. =P ). My mum has been really busy lately, and that she even went to the extend and bought a new family car just to prepare for chinese new year.

Here’s a picture of it =)

The first stop during the lunar new year eve, we went to visit my cousin and she just give birth to my cute little baby cousin! Here’s a photo of her =)

Isn’t she cute ! haha =) I did not have any lunch that day and was really hungry so at the next stop, we went for our lunar new year buffet dinner, I quickly got started on the delicious food! Here’s a glimpse of what we had there, and it’s $43 per person!

Was the food really great? Well, because it’s a buffet style I cannot say it’s as good as been served while it’s still HOT! Most of the food was pretty cold already until they came out 2nd round of servings, and then I decided to go again.. haha

Yep what you see is shark fin, a very expensive boil of soup we all eat during chinese new year. I think one boil of real shark fin can cost about $8 to $20 depending on the quality of the shark fin =P

Also to finish up the dinner, we had Yu Sang a chinese lunar new year salad to usher in good luck for the new year. I think you can only see this in Asia as I hear rumors that the Yu Sang dish was invited by a Singapore restaurant and since then became a standard dish during lunar new year dinners. Here’s a video how it’s is served which is pretty interesting


Got to go for visiting now to collect red packets =P Enjoy the festive season!
