新年快樂 Happy Chinese New Year 2010 to all my foodie friends! Hoping you all have a fabulous time on this wonderful festive season. I just got back two days ago.
Ladies & gentlements, here's my in-laws! And it's Chinese New Year eve. They're all ready for the reunion dinner.
There's all together eleven dishes included the soup! I only prepared the 'Yong Tofu', 'tang yuen', steamed 'fatt kuih' & steamed 'Hee Ban' this year. Other than that were prepared by my hubby's elder siblings and sis-in-law. 
Normally, we used to have 5 tables but this year, only 3 tables! Some of my hubby's siblings went to their other side in-laws place, just next door (they are neighbours) ! hehe....

What else after dinner! 'Mahjong' & cards game LOL, of coz!
I also have all my goodies bags ready to giveaway!
All nicely packed!
And these are extra treats for my friends... grape & banana cupcakes! Will post the recipe soon.
I left my sweetie at home alone for a couple of days and had asked a friend to feed her.
Again wishing all 新年快樂, 恭喜發財, 身體健康, 萬事如事.....恭喜恭喜!!!!! ^_^

Your in laws look so adorable together. Do they hold hands when they go out? I've seen many old couples hold hands & I absolutely adore looking at them. So cute and loving!

Petite Nyonya : HAHAHA.... adoi... that's my darling LOL! hahaha.... I had to tell him this! hahaha...

Happy belated Chinese New Year to you too Kristy:) You have a big family. And how convenient that the other in-law house just right next door. The food looks really good. Only feel a bit sad for your sweetie for being home alone.
You have been working very hard Kristy. Would love some of those goodies!
What a lovely post! I love the table and all the dishes you prepared! Wish I could do the same!
I'd love to publish one picture in my blog, on the right side, in the traditions series. Let me know what you think
