Happy Year of the Ox!

Very Happy and Prosperous New Year to all!

I shall be doing the family Steamboat thing at my Mother-in-Law's place. Nowadays, it is easy to purchase Shabu Shabu style meats so I think that there will be a lot of homes doing a Shabu Shabu Steamboat fusion.

So where is everybody eating the Tuan Yuan Fan?

  1. For this Year of the Ox, may we all have a bull-ish CNY! (I'm referring to my ang pao revenue of course! Leslie, where's mine? =p) And may the SG & world economy prosper.

    Reunion Dinner is at my place cus my dad is 'tua hia'. Sometimes I wished we could save the hassle and just go to a nice restaurant. Tradition can get too sticky.

    Most importantly, here's wishing all our viewers great health - and great wealth!

  4. Nope, Les is correct. It's 'tuan yuan' which is reunion in Chinese.
    Happy Ox Year people of ieat!!! :)
    I shall be msn-ing in on my family's steamboat tuan yuan fan on Sun and drool while they have steamboat... :( ha.
    Tonight am meeting some Chinese friends of mine to make and eat jiao zi together. I resolve to learn to make them from the natives. (Especially the skin, and skill of wrapping them so they look like yuan bao! Not easy siah!)

  9. The Lunar New Year is already in sight
    Plenty of goodies - plenty of delight
    Blackjack would be played from day to night
    And I will be busy kicking losers left and right

    It's been 1 month into this year that is new
    So it is time to have this celebration that is due
    Though every year is the same and nothing new
    But good wishes I have received right on cue

    The New Year is here to challenge me
    Can I rise above it - we shall see
    Of course I don't expect it to be easy
    But I wish my luck will flow spontaneous and free

    So to everyone - this is what I'm going to say
    Wish you plenty of luck, prosperity and wealth everyday
    Success, happiness and good health in every way
    Abundance and longevity in any playground you can play
