Happy Chinese New Year 2015!

According to chinese calendar, this year is the Goat year . Wishing everyone a very ''goat'' luck ahead

Hopefully this year those that gamble did win ''meh'' nee ''meh'' nee money during the gamble session But first and foremost wishing everyone out there good health and safety all year long ^^

This entry basically sum up this year CNY celebration with loves one..

On Reunion dinner.. missing Da Jie because her company did not approve her leave

But she managed to came back on the fifth day of CNY to join us .. so no worries .. we had another round of reunion dinner.. =P .. Chinese New Year okay.. Most of the chinese will celebrate from 30th night ( Sa Chap Meh - the reunion dinner day) till 15th day of the CNY (Chap Goh Meh).. total of 15 days of Big Day ; reunions and gathering with friends and family! This year CNY seems so down.. not that much excitement anymore.. more to a gathering with loves one.. and normally first day of CNY.. my family and I will back to dad's hometown at Pantai Remis, Perak.. but this year we did not went back due to me and little sister is working the second day of CNY.. and day 5 of CNY eldest sis is taking flight come back so have to pick her up.. so we planned nicely that the day Pai Ti Kong (the 9th day of CNY) only going back there..

the CNY cookies

this year mummy bake butter cookies , fried crabsticks, fried chiku (Arrow heads) and bee pang siew (in English maybe is called bee hive biscuit?) the rest is given by friends and some is buy from the market.. *not really fancy about the cookies all or even the mandarin orange unless sister or someone is eating then I will curi some from them*.. haha.. other than that will eat few of it then thats all.. Even till now .. one month plus after CNY , my house still got the leftovers cookies.. hahaha.. got few is not even open yet.. Dad is the only one will slowly eat bit by bit during his tv session.. Hahaa..

As for the clothes.. not much of those pretty dresses but more to casual top and blouse with shorts and skirts..Before CNY was thinking to go get my nails done.. but too last minute and work part time .. no time for it.. so exactly one day before CNY, did the manicure myself .. Hehe..

*Perhaps next time I will blog about DIY manicure/pedicure?*

Below are the colour I painted during CNY
babypink or peach colour and painted one bling bling on ring finger

unless travel further ..

Is dinner time.. and where to eat is always the hardest question to answer..

So I been following food blogger in Facebook and their Blog.. and know about this restaurant have a Michelin Star and is newly open.. so told them about it.. and here we are trying out a restaurant that rated with one Michelin Star

can read more about the restaurant here or here

The Menu

everything is more expensive than ordinary Hong Kong style restaurant

the table setting

the interior of the restaurant/ environment

there's a private room with the sliding door

I guess customers can book it for family dinner or something.. maybe T&C applies

Food that we ordered

some did not capture.. because we are so hungry that time..

Taste wise and nothing to shout out.. Price are at higher side

#ohnoms

Don't ask me about the duck because I don't fancy it..

The spare ribs is nice.. the Siew bak.. umm... okay nee..

Fried rice is nice.. maybe we are too hungry?

how can this goes wrong? Char Siew Pao

don't have the excess fat in the char siew.. so i like..

Yam cake..

Mini eggtarts.. quite nice and soft

Hello there !

Thanks boyfriend's parents for the treat!

After the dinner.. Aunty Cheng want some dessert and drink..

so we went to Brown Pocket ..
Thanks Aunty Cheng and Uncle Mario for the treat!
See you all again if I had the chance to go Perth or you all come back Penang =)
