cny reunion

Had my first CNY reunion with my mum's side of the family. Mum's 2 brothers, elder sister and their families, together with Ah-Poh, the matriarch of the family. Her family is rather medium-sized going by the norm of those days. Aunt Karen had already booked 2 tables in the very restaurant where she and Uncle Tony celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary not too long ago.

The 8-course menu went like this :
1. yee sang
2. four seasons
3. sharks' fin soup with crabmeat (i know, it's cruel. but it's already there, so waste not)
4. king prawn in herbal and garlic soup
5. australian pink garoupa in soy sauce
6. roast piglet
7. longan and sea coconut tong sui
8. sweet dumplings

If this did not help me put an extra 1kg, I don't know what will!
