-'- Rhythm of my life -'-: 2008 CNY dinner

Li Huey came down to London to teman me for a whole week during Chinese New Year and since she came all the way from Portsmouth, surely need to entertain and layan her kan? Chinese New Year can't just expect her to stay ~~home~~ in this tiny small box of mine, right? So.. the wonderful nice and thoughtful people like Queen, Yong Tze and me decided to do steamboat for our CNY dinner. Since we had classes on that day, we went back after class and started preparing all the food. The semangated and creative Yong brought papers to decorate the wall ~~because she's jealous that my ex-flatmates decorated my kitchen wall for Thanksgiving~~. So, we all the-not-so-artistic people drew and wrote nonsense on the paper to fulfill her wish.

The end product..

NICE?

The contributors: Ah Boon, Li Huey, PenangPrincess, Queen.
Main sponsor: Ah Yong, is the camera person.

We all prepared the dishes together.
Some did dessert..

some did cuttings..
some did washing..
some did arranging..

Some did posing..

ALL did eating.. Lol.

After preparing for an hour or two, we finally finished and was ready to wallop everything on the table!

The four ~~lenglois~~food goddesses =)
(Notice my red top. Yong actually asked us to wear red because it's CNY. And since I don't have any red top, she gave me hers and she herself wore pink instead. Besides both Queens, none of them actually wore RED! We got conned)

What is Chinese New Year without yee sang right? Since we can't possibly get any proper and real yee sang here, and all of us wanted to lou sang, so.. we came up with brilliant and economical idea.

Presenting the plate of yee sang..

Another ~~lengloi~~food goddess

Yee Sang: Carrot, cucumber, tang hoon (glass noodle) for the colours.
Cornflakes to replace the nuts.
Honey to stick the 'yee sangs' together.

All ready to lou sang...

We had two different soups -

chicken soup and everyone's favourite, TOMYAM!
The tomyam was sooooooooo good! Not spicy enough but was really good especially after so long.
We also had all kinds of balls, vegetables, tofus, and KING prawn. Don't main main ar...

As for dessert, we had..

Green pandan tong yuen :)

With different shapes. Got star, got love, got triangle, got dice (without numbers), and even ikan pari!
Creative people, creative people!

We ate, we talked, we laughed, we weigh ourselves, we got scared. But, the memories ~~and the fats~~ will remain with us. for a long time.
