Always look forward to Chinese new year eve,
Mum-in-law always cook up the best meal,
one thing i learned from them: Never save on good food, they are so generous with food and often purchase good quality ingredients.
Nevertheless,I find gathering together and share family times are priceless ^-^
My all-time favourite: Yam and roasted pork
Very flavourful. Can go with quite a few bowls of rice..
Still trying to figure the secret recipe of this dish.
Jezz's recipe on this cold dish from a recipe book:
Top shells, oninions, chillies paddies, garlic,lime, Soy sauce and a little sugar..
GArnish with Japanese Cucumbers.
Fa Choy (a kind hairliked veges/fungus) with mushroom and chestnut.
Mum-in-laws's secret recipe (her mix sauce) again, stew for hours.
Another must have stew dish, Sea Cucumber with Pig Trotters
Sea Cucumbers (specially handled,soaked and cleaned),Pig trotters..Stew for hours.
I must confess this dish seemingly sinfully fatty..but we get natural collagen!
Once a year, who bother to calculate the calories..simply cant resist these sinful food.

Dishes not uploaded: Abalone, Fish Maw soup(Replace Shark Fin),Stir Fry bamboo shoots and Sweet Pea, Tiger Prawns, Sea Bass with roasted sauce, Chicken with onion sauce dip (Mum-in-law's specialty).
No wonder my husband is so fat, he's really well-fed.
I cant be choosy with food, as these food are cooked with love and so much effort.
