1st day CNY

I just came back from visiting my in-laws on the 1st day of Chinese New Year. It is drizzling now and I am supposed to be taking a nap but I find myself blogging instead. This year, CNY is slightly different as my spouse cooked the vegetarian meal for his whole family this time and it was a success!

Here's wishing all my blogger friends who are celebrating Chinese New Year: happiness, good health, wisdom, courage, prosperity and peace in this year of the dragon!

The Magnificent Flying Dragon

Our version of "yu sheng".

I helped my sister baked these cookies!

  9. OMG so dumb right, never thought to just try google!! Just had this idea it's very traditional and I don't know how to get the ingredients and excuses, excuses, excuses :P

  10. Thanks Redbabe, Gong Xi Fa Cai to you and family too!

    Aileen, it just happens to slip your mind, that's all because you have more important and serious things in your brain than some old tradition "toss-toss" thingy. :D
