Happy Chinese New Year

Time sure past really fast when you are having fun. It’s already a week since we welcomed the Year of the Horse.  It was so much fun to go back to Ipoh and meet all my dear relatives and my besties.   I wish time would slow down just a bit when we were having fun.

This is my Chinese New Year decor for this year.  Pussy Willows decorated with red paper doilies from Unikbarang 🙂

On Chinese New Year Eve, I decided to cook Lap Mei Rice for our Reunion Dinner.  Hubs bought some roast duck and I also made a dish of braised vege to go with the rice. I feel it is better to eat at home with our families than to go out to a restaurant.  This is what my family did when I was a kid and I would like Ashley to experience it.

Besides spending time with families, relatives and friends, Chinese New Year is about feasting too.  We had a 10-course dinner on Day 1 and a great steamboat on Day 2 at one of the new restaurant in Ipoh.  The above is for 7 people.  We ordered more later.  *burp*

Today is the Day 8 of the Lunar New Year and there will be more celebration this weekend with our friends.  So how is your Chinese New Year?
