Second Day of CNY 2021 ~ 13 February 2021

Hubs had a last minute order for delivery today and since none of his staff are at work, he had to do all the work.  And he roped in Sherilyn and me to help as well. Thankfully hubs knows cooking (he studied hotel management and catering and later did a bakery course) and Sherilyn and I could help with some simple kitchen work. But it was a mad rush having to get the food ready to be sent out by 11:30 a.m.  to the customer. 

We were home on time for our Hoi Nin Fan (first meal of the Lunar New Year) with hubby's aunt who lives on our block joining us.  The mil did most of the cooking.

It's been a super hot day today, typical weather of CNY every year.

Chef Sherilyn insisted on donning her cloth face mask, cap and disposable gloves in her dad's stuffy kitchen.  I told her that since it's so stuffy she needn't have to wear a mask when chopping veggies but she insisted on wearing it throughout the 2 hours in the kitchen.

Sherilyn to me - do you know what hygiene is?? 

She even wore the mask when she was frying otak-otak but when she got home, she said she felt dizzy from the lack of oxygen 😁



Ready to be Grab-ed to the customer ~ rendang chicken drumsticks, mutton rendang, fried otak-otak, sauteed mixed vegetables and loh sang with jelly fish. 



In the evening, Sherilyn made Tiramisu which was a winner!  The Tiramisu was so delish that even the two super critical foodies in the house gave their stingy compliments.


I think the Tiramisu is good enough to be sold.









Roast duck from hubby's aunt.


Braised pork ribs


Braised stuffed oysters with fish paste and abalone.


I'd like to wish all my readers "Koong Hei Fatt Choy" and may the year of the Ox be a prosperous, happy and healthy year for everyone!


My heart melts whenever Haru gives me this pitiful look, begging to be let out of the box to roam freely and scratch her nails on my slippers (which is now her scratching pad).

All that food is sooo amazing!
Omg, Haru is adorable but looks so sad inside the box. Please get her a bigger box and put some toys in it so she can entertain herself. Again, many thanks for providing Haru with a loving home!

Hi Chris
A bigger box won't fit into our tiny shoe area. As it is now, the box is already blocking the entrance and someone is not happy. We will most likely get a high double deck cage (thus space saving) soon. At the moment, Haru is free to roam the house and is only put back into the box at night and when she naps in the day. She doesnt like toys but likes weird stuff in the house like strings, slippers and tissue papers 😅
