Lunar New Year is always a very busy period for us. We still practice the home visiting for most of us. we have 15 days of celebrations. on the eve, we normally have pot luck. then on other days we will take turn to invite each other to our house for celebration. we either cook or order buffet. i would love buffet because cooking for a big group can be tough. the marketing, washing, cutting, cooking is fine, then come the worse thing - washing! but the most enjoyable thing is seeing them enjoying and admiring my food.
for lunch, i have a little steamboat with my family. then dinner is pot luck on my husband's side. last year i did the mustard salmon my nephew (from Holland) teach me. it was a great success, almost everyone enjoy it greatly except for one or two that don't take salmon or raw food. this year, i did pan fry scallops. my girl did the same dia\sh in London too!
I invited them to our house on the 4th day. and i did some cooking.

i spent almost 1 hour to fry the chinese susages - to remove the oil and to get them to be like ';Bak kua' style. 18 eggs and 2 'lap ark' - waxed duck drum stick. and complain " too much ingredients!" last year i did a almost similiar dish and had the same comment. Mmmmm.... next year i shall change...... :)
