Chinese New Year Eve Reunion Dinner 

The night before Chinese New Year is typically when families come together for the reunion dinner. For my family, the weekend before the 1st day of CNY is for my dad’s side reunion dinner and the night before is my mom’s. A family tradition done every year. Well, for my mom’s side reunion dinner this year, my family, my maternal grandma, my god-sister and her family, and Annabelle, our Filipino helper, came together over yummy food. Here’s a snapshot of the food, the important part. :P

Some Mushroom Dish. (I stay clear of it. It’s full of vegetables, mushrooms & it’s been boiled out of its mind.) It’s a annual tradition dish. My grandmother’s recipe.

    Oh Deb! That looks fabulous! Delicious! I’m jealous! Do you cook like that? I’ve often thought of taking classes to learn to make some Chinese dishes. One thing that is so impressive is the attention to presentation. It’s all so beautiful, too. Well, except maybe the mushrooms. Ha-ha. But even they look appealing enough for me to try them. Thanks for sharing this.
