I know that... but u know.. CNY reunion is not about getting
everyone tired out from preparing the loads of food she
prepares...
She not only prepares a HUGEEEEE feast for steamboat but
also....
fried noodles, fried beehoon
chicken curry
pig intestine soup
dessert
steam chicken
braised duck
Oh I forgot.. 'LOR' as well.. stewed pork....
And we take forever to finish the leftovers....even though her
cooking is really really nice and yummy... and as long as she
continues cooking.. with or without our help.. this massive feast
is what she 'expects'. And now that quite a few of my cousins have
gotten married, they don't even eat a proper dinner . they just
come, eat a few bites and leave for their in laws. Can't blame
them.
So...*gasp* ...yeah. we gotta cater or something......
I think it not too difficult to cook nowsaday. Instant soup,
prepack steam boat stuff, roast duck/chicken from the stall,
prepared cut "sang yu", fresh prawns....vola a steamboat
dinner!
Well, we old ppl believe must have leftover so that accounts for
the more than enough (excessive amout) of food.
