Food On The 3rd & 4th Day CNY 2023

On 3rd day of CNY 2023, I cooked black vinegar pork leg for lunch.

I served half portion for lunch because there were only 3 of us eating. Younger son went out for lunch with his friends. I kept the other half portion to be frozen for another meal.

Broccoli and carrot and I used some of the egg white left behind from another recipe.

4th day CNY 2023, elder son will be returning to work in the city after breakfast. We thought of having breakfast at the dim sum restaurant nearby our house.

When we saw the overflowing crowd at the dim sum restaurant, we changed our minds and walked over to the opposite food court. There, we were told that the steamed buns were all sold out.  Elder son ordered curry noodle while hubby and I shared a plate of braised pork noodle.

I didn't take photo of son's curry noodle.

We don't light firecrackers but we do have a pot of blooming orange firecrackers in our garden.

Simple home cooked dinner on 4th Day CNY 2023. 

Son's favourite: Fish paste & minced pork patties.

Hubby's favourite: Stewed chicken feet.

Cooked napa cabbage with carrot.

I added a can of abalone (received as a gift). There were 10 small abalones in the can. Sad to say that the abalones, even cut into small pieces were all very rubbery. This is the first time I come across such rubbery abalone.

Yellow cucumber + carrot and pork bones soup.

The weather is usually hot when we celebrate CNY but for this year, it was an exception. For once, we are enjoying nice and cool weather throughout CNY 2023.

Sound the trumpet!

Come to the joyous celebrations at full moon,

new moon, and all the other holidays.

(Psalm 81:3, The Living Bible-TLB)
