Late post again. During CNY, 捞鱼生 (Lo hei) is a popular cultural activity and altogether I do it 9 times in total. for this year. Twice in GSK (current company), twice at home, once at June BB house, once at jiahui house, once at mirin house, once at June colleague house and lastly at Ligin house. Yu sheng symbolise good fortune and prosperity. So let's see what does each ingredients symbolise:
- - red items (carrot, red yam, red ginger): 鸿运当头
- - green items (cucumber, green yam): 青春常驻
- - white radish (daikon): 风生水起/步步高升
- - pok chui crackers: 翩地黄金
- - pomelo: 大吉大利
- - cinnamon powder: 招财进宝
- - Chinese 5-spice powder: 五福临门
- - plum sauce: 甜甜蜜蜜
- - crushed roasted peanuts: 金银满屋
- - roasted sesame seeds: 生意兴隆
- - olive oil: 多多油水
- - white pepper powder: 招财进宝
- - raw fish slices: 年年有余
- - abalone slices: 年年包有余
We had our reunion dinner at home. But this time round, it is different from the previous few years where we had steamboat cum BBQ. We ordered our food from THE CATHAY chinese restaurant, a five course menu consists of 盆菜，煲翅炖鸡汤，糯米饭，鱼生 and 年糕. The sharkfin broiled with chicken soup is the most delicious among the rest of the dishes. Some pictures taken during CNY.....
