Happy Chinese New Year everyone!

Before the new year period draws to a close, I would like to wish everybody happy new year, and have a prosperous new year ahead!
I apologize for being quiet the past few months. Work and other matters have kept me rather busy in recent times. Just to update, I had a good overseas trip in January to China, which I hope to post at a later date.
Back to the topic, I want to share some photos of my new year reunion dinner. There were other photos taken over the new year period (bakkwa and all), but the quality isn't so good. This new year we decided to have steamboat for the reunion dinner. Steamboat was chosen because of its' simple preparation method, high interactivity, and considering my sister's request for a 'light' meal. Boy, she is so wrong about the last point. Our stomachs were close to bursting by the time dinner ended (at 11pm!).
Okay, enjoy the photos.

Our new year 'goodies' that kept us munching away throughout the new year holidays.

As you can see above, we had a good selection of new year goodies this year. In the photos: pineapple tarts, mandarins, love letters, and shrimpt crackers. Not shown: 1kg of bakkwa (meat jerky).
