About Singapore ?? Human Day- dudunginside.blogspot.com

Yesterday was Lunar 7th day, the Human birthday or everyone birthday. It was also Li Chun ?? day which indicates the arrival of Spring. I took home vegetarian yu sheng which is a dish of various shredded vegetables, crackers and topped with plum sauce. A traditional yu sheng is topped with raw fish. But since this is vegetarian yu sheng, Sufood vegetarian restaurant replaced it with abalone mushroom. So with my family in the evening, we tossed the yu sheng and shouted auspicious words like ????. Prior to tossing yu sheng, I had the special vegetable dish comprising of 7 different vegetables prepared by my mum. This is a Teochew (??) tradition. In the morning, I deposited some money to my bank account for a prosperous year. Well after depositing the money, I felt happy.

After tossing yu sheng, a tradition commonly practiced in Singapore, we went to my mum's sister home. At her home, we had a feast of pizza, fried bee hoon, fried chicken and we also tossed yu sheng, this time topped with raw salmon fish. There were also other snacks.

My maternal grandmother had 6 sons and 7 daughters. However due to poverty, a daughter was sent for adoption. So currently I have 5 uncles (one passed on) and 5 aunties.  My favorite Aunty is the youngest. Anyway in this gathering, for the first time, my youngest uncle shared a lot about himself and his wife also shared a lot . For the first time, I realized my uncle is really a good storyteller and humorous person. My uncle and his wife shared with me tips on their Hong Kong trip since I told them that I be traveling to Hong Kong solo this March. They advised me not to eat their fried noodles as it was horrible. But they recommended their dim sum and dessert. 

Well, how I wish my other aunties and uncles would join in the gathering. After both my grandparents passed on, some uncle and aunty did not attend the Chinese New Year gathering. I do hope they will attend in next year Chinese New Year gathering. Chinese new Year is the time to strengthen kinship bond. 

 I took home vegetarian yu sheng to eat with my family.

 Plum sauce, olive oil, sesame seed and bread.

 We are Teochew nang (???),so we had 7 different types of vegetables in this dish. 

                   More Hongbao, red packets.

About Singapore Reunion Dinner on Chinese New Year Eve 2017- dudunginside.blogspot.com

How time flies. Today is finally Chinese New Year eve, the day we have reunion dinner together as a family. Prior to the dinner, I spent the day spring cleaning my bedroom, cleaning the windows, some bookshelves and changing the curtain and finally sweeping the floor because we don't sweep the floor on the first day of Chinese New Year. 

Reunion dinner is very important to us as we don't normally have dinner together as a family as we reach home at different time. Sometimes my brothers work late. So on Chinese New Year eve, everyone of us will have a lavish sumptuous dinner together. 

While I was cleaning my room, my elder brother who is a great cook helped my mother to prepare reunion dinner. Well, my elder brother used to work at a restaurant as a cook. Together they prepared 12 delicious dishes which include abalone and vegetables, tasty soup filled with quail eggs, pork and fish balls, pig skin, sea cucumber, vegetables, fried egg, fried chicken wings, fried prawns, steamed prawns, steamed fish, braised pork, fried squid balls and ngio hiang or five spiced pork roll, a typical Teochew dish. Wow, I felt really full after the dinner. I also treasure the time we eat together as a family with my parents and my 3 brothers at home. 

After dinner, we'll watch China CCTV Chinese New year show and maybe later watch channel 8 new year countdown. Later in the night, I watch Stephen Chow comedy movies. Today my brothers and I will stay up late maybe till 3am to 5am to ?? shou sui with the hope our parents can enjoy longevity. My youngest brother will be going overseas today.

I had a great dinner tonight, I hope you too.

To all the Chinese and fellow Teochew nang around the world, I wish you a Prosperous and Happy Rooster New Year 2017. ???? Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Wow we had 12 sumptuous dishes for reunion dinner this year! What a spread!

We had steamed fish topped with ginger, tomatoe and chili, fried chicken wings, fried egg with vegetable.

 At $9.30 its quite expensive but then this is a restaurant in downtown so no choice.

 Shrimp wanton noodle dry at $9.30.

 Deep fried porpupine with red bean paste $4.20

Stuffed prawn in crispy wrap with wasabi ($4.80)
