CHINESE NEW YEAR IS THE TIME FOR FEASTING & FAMILY

The Chang family at CNY.

Its Chinese New Year, and that's the time for family to come together, and the time to feast. The surest way to gain weight is to observe a seafood diet, what you see, you eat. The temptation is too great, so enormous that self-restraint can never win. Why exercise abstinence for two days a year, when you can do it for 363 before and after? Three meals, and the damage is done, and here is the photographic proof. Wishing one and all Happy Chinese Year!

Monday evening (16 Feb, New Year's Eve):

This year's yusheng looks more like a salad!

Two "treasure pots" with
the usual seafood goodies.

My share of the loot.

Dessert time:
Almond jelly with longan & Sichuan pancake.

My brothers Yuen & Chuang,
with sis-in-law Kyra.

Shan Ming with cousin Justine.

Bagel the poodle.

Tuesday lunch 

(17 February, New Year's Day 1):

The extended Chang family congregate,
all four generations of them.

It's Indian and Muslim food today.

Satay man busy at work.

Satay is something I simply cannot resist.

The prata man is an artist.

Proud of our milk prata!

With my father's eldest surviving sister,
Auntie Ruth aka Er Gu.

Tuesday evening 

(17 February, still Day 1):

Steamboat at the Gouw family.

The days around CNY is also the 

best time for old friends to catch up,

and to enjoy more food!
