Gong Hai Fat Choi: Happy Chinese New Year!
Some friends invited me over to their new abode for a house warming slash Chinese New Year dinner. Delighted, off course I accepted the invite to an evening of Chinese culinary perfection which surpassed any of my expectations, and left me at the end of the night wishing that I had asked for a doggy bag to take home.
All the ingredients were bursting with fresh flavours. And most importantly, all ingredients were traditionally Chinese. Having a home cooked Chinese meal was a new experience for me and definitely something I would not pass up if I ever get the chance to have it again!
Simply... the Menu (my interpretation of the menu at least. Apologies for any mistakes!)
- A variety of mushrooms including oyster, enokitake, dried shitake.
- Oysters.
- Sea cucumber.
- Freshly steamed chicken.
- Steamed fish.
- Sweet and sour pork with peppers and onions.
- Fish ball strips with green leaves sautéed in garlic.
- Grilled king prawns in a sweet soy sauce.
- Plain white rice.

The food was incredible, the company was enlightening and the bubbly kept flowing.
Thank you to the Choi family for a truly great evening. It felt very special to be included in such a personal and important celebration with the whole family! Sun Nin Chun Bo 2011! ᐂ
