Jason (right) giving the thumbs-up to his 10th yee sang dinner for this year. Next to him is his new ladylove Vanessa. And then there's Joe, the one with no love interest just yet..
The Abus' annual Tahun Baru Cina dine-out; buttered prawns, squid with dried chillies, beef ginger, claypot tofu, lemon chicken and steamed garoupa asam style (not in pix).
Lemon chicken, tangy and absolutely yummy.The Abus are a bunch of kaki makan, so it's no surprise that they always seek to enjoy food together, come what event. Any festival is a good enough excuse to dine as a family.
Each year we'd have the traditional yee sang (we loh hei too, just for the heck of it), followed by a six-course Chinese dinner, at Royal Lake Club's halal Chinese restaurant.
This year we had it a bit late because it was getting difficult to get everyone together due to prior commitments. In fact, eldest son Naj was absent; he was down with fever the same evening.
But my adopted son Jason was able to be there, this time with a lovely lady on his arms (finally!). Single dad Jason has a daughter, Judith, who is now 8.
Joe's buddy Melvin, in the meantime, got caught in a gridlock in PJ and had to abandon all ideas of loh hei-ing with us. Poor Melvin; never mind, there's always next year, Insyaallah.
I think next year I'm going to buy a crate of oranges and get the kids to throw them into the sea at Port Dickson during Chap Goh Meh (and then we'll collect them all back, hehehe). Sounds like fun... :-D
