Lunar New Year Goodies.

First year celebrating LNY in my own house~

Had to get some LNY goodies.

Last year, we went to Japan for a holiday so we never bought much stuff for the house.

This year, Mr Look and I decided to get the stuff we like to eat.

Since I wasn't feeling too well a couple weeks back, I didn't buy much to put at home either.

Other than the usual oranges (which I grabbed from office) and the nian gao, here are some other stuff that we love to eat.

Bak Gua.

Yes, Lim Chee Guan!

I did a post back in 2009 on Lim Chee Guan.

Erhm, Mr Look and I queue almost every year when we were dating.

The longest it took me was 4.5 hours?

Mr Look went to queue for me this year.

He went early on a Sunday morning at 8 and I joined him around 10.

Took him about 2.5 hrs to queue with a lot of 'interesting' stuff happening to him within that few hours.

Not to mention what happened after that.

This was the only photo I got before Mr Look opened to eat it =)

Thank you Mr Look for the effort and time.

Some of my favorite snacks (sugee was missing though).

L to R: Honeycomb, chips, pork floss roll, Love letter and pineapple tarts.

The pork floss roll was handmade by me and fried by Ami.

Well, when I was rolling the roll -_-"

I remembered the times when we were young and my cousins and uncle stood around the round marble table doing all sorts of CNY goodies.

Those were the times.

I hope to pass down to my girl next time the culture that I had come to learn when I was young.

Not everything can be bought with money.

Spending time with family doing activities (includes gambling) are probably what I miss most of my LNY childhood.

Cannot be missed for LNY - Gua Zhi!

I can eat this until sore throat.

Hahah!

Ok, all set for LNY - new clothes, shoes, bags, inner wear and sleep wear.

Of course angpows too!

Are you all set?

What's your favorite part of celebrating LNY?
