: : 1st day of CNY ~ Part II : :
I still have quite a fair bit of pictures from the 4 houses I visited yesterday. So, here are some pictures of goodies from my Dad’s mum’s house. The first house that I visit every year for CNY since I moved to Kuching 5 yrs ago.
Ah Ban : Aren’t you going to take any photos for your blog?
My cousin, Ah Ban, was teasing me yesterday as I didn’t tell him about my blog. He found out through Squidman.
So, as not to disappoint him, I took out my camera and started snapping away. Above is the pictures of various cookies that was served : cheese cookies, peanut cookies, kuih bangkit @ the white biscuits that absolutely melts in your mouth. There’s also some sugared jelly treats, Dahfa fish slices, sweetened dried cuttlefish, and some marshmellows.
Mei Ai : The marshmellows very nice one! Try some!
Went over to her house later and she had a cookier jar filled with those stuff. She adores marshmellows. Well, she has definitely influenced me so was eating 2 pieces at her place later on in the afternoon.
Some love letters but these were plain ones. Not the decoratively ones that Grace made the other day but just as nice.
Anchovies! Yes, we eat those pungent smelling fish. Of course, we eat the baby ones which were fried until crispy. It was further subjected to more torture by coating it with honey and sesame see. Now, do not cringe away in disgust as this is a favourite TV snack and pub munchies. Goes down extremely well with beer.
We also had some sugar (I think) coated peanuts. Yum yum yum! I also had some keropok @ prawn crackers with acar @ spicy pickled veggie. It was amazing that my stomach did not have a revolution considering the amount of food I had for the 1st day. Unfortunately, I did not take any pictures of the good food from Patty-Cakes house. Her Mum remembered me from last year :
PC’s Mum : Eh! Got pork leg stew for your boss ah! Must come one!
Groan. So malu @ shy lah! Still, it was nice to visit Pat again. Her Mum had ordered this wonderful ayam masak merah @ chicken cooked in red, which was extremely spicy! It was both sweet and spicy at the same time. Wah!
