Chinese New Year 2015 Nin Chor Yee Dinner @ Restaurant Oversea (海外天大飯店), PJ Armada

When I was a kid, I used to look forward to Chinese New Year coz it meant school holidays and I could stay up late 🙂 Besides that, I also look forward to receiving red packets from my parents and relatives, watching lion dance show, playing firecrackers and eating tidbits. Now that I’m older, Chinese New Year for me is the time to get together with friends and visiting relatives to catch up 😉 For every year on the second day of the Chinese New Year, relatives from my moms’ side would gather at my grandmas’ house and then we would eat out at Chinese restaurant. This year, we went to Restaurant Oversea (海外天大飯店) at PJ Armada for dinner.

Traditionally, married daughters will go back to visit her parents on the second day of Chinese New Year. Since we’re joining my moms’ side of family for dinner, we went back to my mom in laws’ house for lunch. She cooked a table full of delicious dishes.

2) Braised Shark Fin Soup with Crab Meat

3) Roasted Crispy Suckling Piglet in Hong Kong Style The skin of the suckling piglet is perfectly crispy while the meat is juicy and flavorful. Very yummy!!!

4) Steamed Estuary Grouper Fish with Bamboo Stick and Dried Orange Peel

6) Sauteed Sea Cucumber with Garlic

7) Glutinous Rice with Waxed Meat Oversea Restaurant serves one of the best ‘Lap Mei Fan’, with the perfect mix of Chinese sausages, liver sausage and waxed duck. This one-pot glutinous rice is high in calories and cholesterol but we only have it once a year, so eat first and exercise later. Haha

8) Oversea Dessert Cold Pomelo Juice with Jelly
Lastly, it’s dessert to end the meal. Chinese love having dessert coz it means a sweet ending to a satisfying meal. The dessert is Mochi with peanut filling. Chinese love to eat peanuts during Chinese New Year coz it symbolizes longevity and prosperity.

This blog is a platform to share what I love in life: food (eat), travel (play), photography (art) and life (thoughts and ideas). With passion for food, I share my foodie adventures and indulgences here. “There is no love sincerer than the love of food.”

Traveling makes us a better human being as we recognise the similarities and celebrate the differences of cultures between where we travel to and where we come from. “The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.”

Photography do more than just capturing the best moments in our lives; they also help us tell our life stories. “Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”
