Beautiful fish and piggy origami done by Sarah


Today the last day of work before most of the offices close for the Chinese New Year holidays.  Yes, you need to take only 3 days annual leave to get a long long week off to celebrate with family and friends.

Pork lard Rice...reminiscence of one of the staple food of our youth

this pot of "gold" is selling like hot cakes in certain cafes around town nowadays but so simple to cook at home. 


WISHING EVERYONE A HAPPY, HEALTHY AND BLESSED CHINESE NEW YEAR 2019.

Come one, come all, pineapples tarts for Chinese New Year

In the blinking of an eye, 2018 has slipped past and we are already in the 10th day of 2019.  
Here are some photos to re-cap the end year celebrations:-

Chan Clan dinner for the Tong Yuen Festival 22/12/2018 

My little princess  

celebrating her 3rd birthday, may God be with you always..

Happy that this year, we were able to attend to most of the Christmas services. 

No big Christmas party this year as some of the Chan Clan members were overseas while others were busy with their own celebrations. So, I had a Christmas date with Sarah at home, while she cooked the pasta I did the Fried Pandan Chicken. 

Her birthday after boxing day.... 

Impromtu dinner for her birthday.... Roasted duck (bought from Petaling Street),  blanched okra, pickled purple cabbage and pickled cucumber with longevity mee-sua and of course the obligatory red egg!

Some of the Chan Clan down under celebrating my youngest brother and little Audrey birthday together as both had the same birthday date with a BBQ. 

Little Audrey (my sister's granddaughter) 

little Alexa... following grandma's footstep?
  
The girls welcoming the new year with a Korean Dinner after a hard day's work of baking pineapple tarts. 


Our HK-style breakfast prepared by Sarah...  

Of course, Toto is one happy family member with more pampering from mama Esther..

The new school term began and here is my niece with her son on the 1st day at school.. 

Time for some spring cleaning and these are some of my collections

These are precious....not because of their monetary value

no physical cats around the house, but plenty here in the cabinet..



Hark the herald angels sing!

Finally, a Red Velvet cake with cream cheese frosting, the last baked cake for year 2018.. 
Thank you for all your support in 2018 and hopefully can bake more cakes for year 2019. 

Time to concentrate on my pineapple tarts before the Chinese New Year.  So an advance greeting:

MAY EVERYONE HAS A HEALTHY AND HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR.
