It has been a long silence....... and it was also a time of reflecting....February is such a FABULOUS month of the year!! It has lesser days and called for Celebration almost everyday!!
The Chinese New Year or Lunar New Year falls on February...Valentine (nothing to do with me but it is here to stay), anniversary and my birthday!! (Pictures of red packet "angpow" where we insert money as a form of blessing someone!!) Only the single will receive and the married to bless!!
We are blessed by having friends and strangers over our home. We may have fed 5000 people on our list!! This is a typical Chinese's way of celebrating our New Year. Lots of food, friends and relatives.
Having friends over to do the "Loh Sang", mixing the raw fish with all the pickles and spices. This act to signify everyone's good health, good job prospect and ........
Samples of the prepack of the stuff we were mixing...it was crispy, sweet and sour....
Before and then after.....everyone must participate!! Kind of cool!
I had friends who are residing in Leeds, UK came over to my place for dinner!!
Every year we have some Chinese Students from China and anyone who didn't have a chance to be back home with their families over this season to prepare their "must eat" dishes during the lunar new year. Charles is very happy with his creation!!
We had a good time of fellowship and will do it again next year!! I can be a good cook!!
Will tell you more of my new appointment. Wishing my friends and readers a Belated Chinese New Year!!
