Gung hay fat choy!

Happy Chinese New Year to you all! It is now the year of the Snake.

Barb and I celebrated with her parents and her friends Kerrie and Toni. Kerrie has been celebrating Chinese New Year with the Wong family for 10 years now!

We had the traditional Wong Chinese New Year meal of eight dishes: Buddha's feast, steamed broccoli, braised fish with green onion and ginger sauce, braised mushroom and hair moss with dried oysters, pork's tongue and feet, poached chicken, roast pork, and platter of preserved meats (duck, liver and Chinese sausage).

I really enjoyed the pork's tongue (juicy and rich), the Buddha's feast (I love clouds ears and lilly buds!) and the braised mushroom and hair moss with dried oysters (nice strong mushroom flavour). I was too scared to eat the pig's feet!
