Pre Chinese New Year Celebration At Delight Seafood Restaurant, Ipoh.

Every year before we usher in the Lunar New Year, our group, both the retirees and those still working, will come together for lunch to celebrate our friendship. We hope to keep this tradition alive for many years to come. Again, we chose Delight Seafood Restaurant because of the location and the quiet ambience.

 #1 - Lo Hei or Yee Sang (Prosperity or Blessing Toss)
Everyone will use a pair of chopsticks to toss or mix this dish before we eat.
 #2 - Crab meat soup
The server did the serving in individual bowls.
 #3 - Steamed fish
Served with chopped salted radish, garlic crisps and soy sauce.
 #4 - Braised pork leg
(with mushrooms, oysters and black moss or algae)
 #5 - Fried soy sauce prawns.
 #6 - Mixed vegetables with cashew nuts.
 #7 - Steamed rice with waxed meat and sausages.
#8 - Snow skin mochi with durian flavoured filling.
8 course lunch set at about RM 700.
The food was more than enough for the 13 of us.

Why is everyone hungry for more?
"More, more," they say. "More, more."
I have God's more-than-enough,
more joy in one ordinary day
than they get in all their shopping sprees.
At day's end I'm ready for sound sleep,
For you, GOD, have put my life back together.
(Psalm 4:6-8, The Message-MSG)
