Chinese New Year 2022

This year is the second year we have had a low-key Chinese New Year in KL.  The last time we celebrated CNY in Ipoh was in 2020. I've not seen my parents and older brother (and his family) from Singapore for 2 years, except for video calls and photos via Whatsapp.  I really miss all the fun times we had in KL and Ipoh before Covid lashed out across the world.  Our girls and their Singaporean cousins have definitely lost touch with one another. The next time they meet each other (most likely in 2023), they'll probably feel like strangers again.  The twinnies may have even forgotten us becoz they were only 2 years old the last time they met us.  😓

This year, all our meals have been within the six of us only.  No house visiting and no gathering.  Hubby's cousin who stays in our hood has been flagged as close contact and couldn't come to our house to celebrate. We packed food for him and dropped it off to him at his car in our condo lobby.

CNY Eve lunch - roast chicken gifted by hubby's friend who owns a chicken farm.

CNY Eve dinner - simple CNY dishes and a Yee Sang.

Dishes and lotus root soup packed in takeaway containers for hubby's cousin.

'Jai' on the first day of CNY and red bean tong sui packed for hubby's cousin.

I'd like to wish all my Chinese readers a very prosperous Chinese New Year. I hope that the year of the Tiger will bring everyone roaring success, wealth, good health, and happiness.
