Reunion dinner has always been special and fun! This year is no exception!
Every family has a part to play..... I was to get the meat & quail eggs. We bought about 100 of the eggs! Crazy, my brother exclaimed! So high cholesterol!
The eve of CNY fell on a Saturday! So good! No need to work! Had to attend my 2nd aunt' s funeral - she died of breast cancer, though.
The evening drew near and we had to set up for the dinner. Yanti prepared the stock for the steamboat.Every year, since I could remember, we always have steamboat for reunion dinner, without fail. Soon, Beng Kiong and family arrived with Vege and wantons. Took out the abalone cans and Beng Kiong started to slice the abalone. The rest came with prawns, fish balls and other stuff.
As we sat together and put the food into the steamboat, we realised something was missing....seemed less ingredients...Yes, we forgot about mushrooms and tofu! No one bought them! Never mind.....
It's a battle at the dinner table Everyone has the ladle ready..to grab as many pieces of the abalone as possible! You would see everyone trying to get the abalone slices , even to the extent of trying to 'steal' from the person next to him/her! It was really fun. After so many years, we are still doing it!
Dinner was delicious, with plenty to eat! It was time to give out ang pows and my brothers still gave me! Good brothers! Hahahahahaha!
The night ended well...we finished all the quail eggs.....
