Post What You Have For Re-Union Dinner
- Thread starter Windsor
- Start date
stopped by taipei and bought the usual pineapple cake on way back to sfo. munching on pineapple cake nugget now with freshly brewed coffee for breakfast. nfl conference championship games are about to begin and everyone is glued to the tv. tonight will also be cny's eve. no celebrations and holidays here, but we'll be talking football all evening.
Sweetened minced pork liver wrapped with pig's stomach.
Goodnight joetys and same to you too.
Duck is what I missed in this CNY dinner. There was no duck. The chicken rice was good though, plus the fish and crab all fresh and steamed, not fried. The highlight was a big pot of solid fibre sharkfin soup. Yummy! We're going to finish off what's leftover last night as breakfast now. 
1. German Balls
The german balls look interesting, but the chap chye doesn't look like what I have eaten before.
There seems to be a lot of tang hoon or bee hoon.
I usually prefer chap chye with lots of cabbage and black mushrooms. Yummy! :p
That is true and I think one of my niece-in-law cooked the dish and it was not like the usual dish we normally have.
Anyway first day was pretty tiring and I left early as tomorrow is another busy day. There are more dishes prepared for our guests today and it was a huge crowd.
It looks like our house is the only one along the row of houses having a big makan. I took many some pictures today and will post them tonight after some rest.
This CNY is no different for us than other CNY. My wife stocked up lots of foods for my MIL to cook, just like Chinese reunion dinners. The supermarkets, hawker centres and coffeeshops are all closed except for Muslim foodstalls and fast food joints. We're not used to Muslim dishes because most are too spicy for our tastes and we can't be eating fast food every meal every day. Actually, CNY is quite a good Chinese tradition if they don't attach any superstition to it. I understand it's a time to celebrate the coming of spring, family members visiting each other and eating together, almost the same as Christmas but even that's spoilt by religion.
All of my staff are Chinese. I always shut down office and give them five full days of holidays - eve, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th as that most Chinese seems to want. The extra three days, I don't deduct from their annual leaves. Christmas also comes with two extra holidays, eve and boxing day. It's in exchange for forgoing all other public holidays. I view Christmas and CNY seasons secularly and I don't believe in religious holidays and ND. All of my staff are freethinkers anyway.
And I don't give them red packets. They already have their rightfully deserved bonuses and staff benefits. In the earlier years, I actually offered my staff a choice of bonus payout on December payday or on CNY payday. They unaminously chose December. Therefore, it's standardized to December payday.
