My Chap Goh Mei Funny Meal...

Today is the fifteen day of the lunar new year, the last day of CNY, to me.... it means no more giving and receiving red packets from anyone, anymore until the following Chinese New Year in 2012..... (phew!! a relief for me! lol...just kidding)

When I came back from work, I received a call from my mama asking me to come by for some "food donation." hahahaa... She didn't really cook much, just two of my favourite dish and some soup... so simple and yet so yummy!! My mum is also a Gem.. hahaha...

lets see the treasures here....

YES! My favourite Yam dish!

this is stewed duck with lots of ginger...

followed by fish ball soup..... hmmmm....

the dessert for the day-DURIANS!
these will go great with my rice definitely!

Then mama said, after the durians,
remember to eat this giant orange
and 2 bananas! LOL....
