CHINESE NEW YEAR EVE REUNION DINNER

Today is the eve of the Chinese New Year festival, and it is the time for our annual family reunion dinner. Reunion dinner is the time when the family and loved ones get together to eat a sumptuous and savory meal. Tonight, all the typical Prosperity dishes were cooked to perfection by my mother and my wife. The dishes are 1.Steamed White Promfret fish, 2.Tempura Prawns, 3.Braised Sea cucumber with Pig trotter and mushrooms, 4.Boiled free range chicken, 5.Stir fry Arrowhead with lean pork,6. Fish maw, Home made fish balls and Long White Chinese Cabbage soup 7. Mixed vegetables. 8.The salmon Yee Sang made by my s.i.l Hannah was crunchy, sweet and sourish-good effort for a first timer! The 15 of us were filled to the rim and the ladies did the cleaning up, after all the mess!

Hi Foodbin - Happy New Year to you and your family!

I would have loved to taste your wife/mother's sea cucumber. I received one fresh from the ocean (photo on my blog last May) but could not bring myself to cook it.
