My Lunar New Year Eve Reunion Dinner


Homemade Yu Sheng (some kind of salad with raw salmon) for 16 adults.

 

All ingredients in, before the tug in


Tug in and toss the lo hei.

Reunion dinner this year was like the previous years. It was pot luck
style. Each family brought a dish and we have a good mix of dishes. We use
to have steamboat but found that it is too challenging to manage for a
family of 16 people. We would need 2 or 3 cookers, otherwise it takes too
long to wait for the food to get cooked. Not everyone like to test their
patience for food during a reunion dinner..

We started with the Yu sheng which is everybody’s favourite. Each of us
have our seconds and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Within twenty minutes we
have almost finished the big plate of Yu Sheng which took a couple of
hours to prepare.

  Next we proceeded with the rest of the food like curry chicken, the
infamous vegetarian dish, home-made char siew, each has a bowl of fish
maw soup, battered fried prawns and squid

Then we had jelly for dessert after which we gave out hong pows (red packets) to the all the niece and nephews.
