Happy Chinese New Year everyone!
How I spent my Chinese New Year Eve: Since I don't have school on that day, my parents 'forced' me to do spring cleaning at home. T.T I vacuumed and mopped the floor, and I did the laundry as well. It took me 3 hours to rush through all the house chores, but I was still late to meet my sister. LOL, is it 'best' sister award goes to me. T.T

Check out this cute video done by my groupmate, Bernice! The link is here:

(Pizza Maru)
Treated her to lunch at Pizza Maru in the end because I was guilty that she had to wait an hour for me. LOL. My current favourite mall would be Northpoint City. Hahaha, it is a food heaven - perfect place for me. Hehes, :D I ordered Mango Ocean, which is essentially just mango pieces with seafood on the pizza. It tasted nice, but not exceptionally delicious that I will be willing to pay $24 for it again. LOL. The pizza is quite small x.x I initially wanted to packet the leftovers home for my parents to try, but we managed to wipe clean all 6 pieces of pizza. LOL. Collecting calories~
(Happy New Year, Happy Us)
There's a 1-for-1 promotion over at Teafolio, so we got two cups of grape. It is not bad, just a little too sweet for my liking. But it's quite worth it though! $2.50 for a big cup! The parents picked us up from Northpoint afterwards, so we had some time to go home to change into a fresh set of clothes before meeting relatives for reunion dinner!
(All my favourite food on the table)
This year, we decided to order the food from a restaurant and packet it home for convenience. The whole table costed $400+ T.T But the food is super delicious and the portions are huge, so all is well! We managed to finish everything. Kudos to us!
(鱼生)
Yusheng is definitely a must-have dish to eat during Chinese New Year because it is a symbol of abundance and prosperity. It usually consists of strips of raw fish (we opted for salmon), mixed with shredded vegetables and a variety of sauces. This year, the restaurant was very generous because there was plenty of salmon and abalone in the yusheng! My favourite! Yum! 😊
(盆菜)
Look at the number of abalone!! This is super expensive hahaha, but okay it takes a lot of effort to prepare this dish. Using a ceramic pot, the ingredients are layered thoughtfully. At the bottom, vegetables were placed to soak up the juices. In the middle, different meat and mushroom are laid. At the top, we often see seafood, such as prawns, abalone, scallops and sea cucumber. The dish is prepared over a few days to ensure that the flavours of each ingredient are brought out.
(Orni)
The Chinese have a tradition to eat yam paste served with ginkgo nuts during the Chinese New Year. Ginkgo is one of the oldest plants, so this dish is a symbol of fertility and longevity. This dish is commonly eaten as dessert!
(Isn't this cute?! 年糕 in the shape of fish)
I wish everyone 年年有余 (鱼)! This is a glutinous rice-cake dish traditionally consumed during Chinese New Year for good luck. My family always buy this every year, but this is the first time I see rice-cakes in the shape of a fish?? Businesses getting creative here, hmm :D
Thankfully I am not planning to wear any body-hugging clothes during Chinese New Year. With the amount of food I consumed, I scared my tummy will show. T.T
Be careful when you ask love to stay.
Not every love is kind and true.
But every love leaves fingerprints on your heart forever.
