CNY Reunion Dinner

On 25th Jan, the Lim Family & Ng Family gathered at East Ocean Teochew Restaurant, 东海潮州酒家 for their annual Chinese New Year Reunion Dinner... last year we had it at Grand Shanghai but the parents found it too high end... so this year, we tried out something different... Dear recommended this place cos it's near his office and the food there was good... we reached slightly before 8 plus and the place was already very crowded.. Afte a while, we were urshered in and dinner soon began =D

To kick off the reunion dinner, we had the "lo hei"... you can tell from the pics how nice it is.. cos there's nothing left =D
After the "lo hei", we had the shark fins and we requested our roasted dish to be served... That one is not in the menu and it has to be a special order.. afterall, roasted meat is one of the specialty of this restaurant.. all of us were giving thumbs up for this dish... Chicken was tender also... yummy yummy...

Next is the big slice of abalone... the portion given by the restaurant is really huge...the older folks were so delighted over the huge oyster that the restaurant are serving =D

Next up is mei mei's fav.. Prawns... Found the prawns to be a little tiny though, comparing to the lobster I had last year =D But then, the rest still found them nice... The fish was very very fresh.. I'm not a fish person, yet I quite like the dish =D

2nd last main dish is the vege... I took some. not bad.. Last main dish is the lotus leaf fried rice.. the rice was fragrant... i finished mine in no time... my parents were too full cos they finished up most of the dishes before the rice.. but they packed back the unfinished rice...

The dessert was delightful.. A bowl of hot red bean soup and a pc of "nian gao" ended everything well.. yummy yummy...

Here's some pics taken during the dinner... Enjoy... Next year, we will a new member of the family =D sp looking forward to it =D
