CNY 2014

Year of the Horse, and again it is cooking spree again.  For days we have guests coming over for visits and meals.  It was tiring but it was fun at the same time, catching up with each other and stuff.

Menu for this year is exactly the same as last year.

Day 1: Poh Piah
Day 2: Hokkien Mee
Day 3: Fried Kway Teow
Day 4: Yam  Rice

If you want the recipe for both the Poh Piah  and Fried Kway Teow, they are in the previous CNY posts.  This year the price for prawns are so high at 1kg for $60, we ended using frozen prawns but luckily they turn out pretty ok too.

A few mistakes we made when we stored our ingredients, we kept the noodles and kway teow in the fridge when it should be kept outside.  Also, Sheng Shiong is opened on the 3rd day, so we do not really need to rush to buy and stock up the ingredients.

Hokkien Mee

This year, mum cut up the fishcakes into thin strips and deep fried them till crispy before adding to the noodles, very nice.

Fried Kway Teow 

This year we added cockles, however, the Lap Cheong is of inferior quality, but overall still very nice.

So tiring, should we take a break next year?  We said the same thing each year but we still ended up cooking. Hahahaha...
