Our Chinese New Year

2/8/2016

0 Comments

 

This year Chinese New Year seems to come by really quickly and we have barely prepared ourselves for the festive event. No more usual shopping around for clothes and groceries for us this time round.

The Kwans family decided to book a chalet and enjoy over the festive period since we do not go visiting much. As for the Tans family, its the usual to lunch at home and great grandpa house for visiting.

Woke up early in the morning to prepare the 盆菜 for the family from scratch. Been reading up on fellow friends posting their version of 盆菜 and we decided to join in the fun. Luckily the receipe is easily accessible on the internet and seriously, its pretty easy to make.

Firstly we add in ginger slice, garlic and oil to 爆香 before adding broth in.

We boiled the prawns and vegetable and keep the broth to add into the making of soup for the 盆菜 together with the broth from the abalones.

Stack them up in layers with sea cucumber, cabbage, fish maw, roasted pork belly, scallop, mushroom and broccoli. Then we simmer for about 20 minutes.

This is how the end product looks like after layering the abalone, prawns and clayfish in. Looks so yummy!

This is also pretty much the first time i cook for the whole Tans family and im glad it turned out pretty decent. The family loves the diy soup broth and 二哥 was thinking it is from one of those 盆菜 ready-made ones. :)) we managed to clear the whole pot of yummy food with grandmaTan telling me to prepare again next year.

Looking good cousins!

I think Morris is at the stage of 怕生 as he is sooooo gluey when we head to great grandpa house. He literally stick on to grandmaTan while we are about to enter the house for visiting.

Part of him is sleepy too!

Took his milk and off he goes napping for 1.5 hours before we head to visit grandparentsKwan as a happy boy
