The best day for our CNY potluck turned out to be on Chap Goh Meh (15th day of CNY). Food was a mixture of bought and home-cooked. My mother prepared many items as usual - the yee sang, her signature bak kien/pork rolls, vinegar pork trotters and punch.
I refuse to smile
Get ready for yee sang
I had sauce left from my Dragon-i 'poon choy'. Decided to make our own as it can't be that difficult right? I made sure it had an even number of ingredients. Bought fried chicken feet from the market and braised that together with mushrooms - #1 and #2. #3 pork belly cooked till tender, #4 cooked chicken, #5 prawns and #6 broccoli. Arrange everything in a pot, pour the sauce over and heat up at the stove. Tadahh!! Turned out very well indeed!
Home-made 'poon choy'
We ate outside this year - good also as the temperature was lower! (I have to record this in case of any future questions on who/what/where/how haha)
Pause eating short while for camera
We remembered to take a group photo this time. The first one had my father's tummy showing, so the cushion was there as the solution. We had a good laugh over this!
Much better!
