Sorry was real stressed last week, so didn't update the blog.. again. :D I will try not to slack from now on. :D
The first gathering dinner of the year is very important. It's like the turkey dinner during Christmas, one can't live without :D
My mom's getting older now and she doesn't feel like cooking a 10 course feast for the family anymore. So, this year, we decided we should just spend a little bit more money and dine out instead.
Here's our menu.
I will illustrate the meal with pictures below. :D
This is the Chinese roasted meat combo :D A must have item in any banquets. :D
Lobsters and noodles in creamy cheese sauce. Let me apologize for not taking picture before it's being touched. :D This picture was taken after everybody had his share of the dish.
Steamed groper which symbolizes plentiful reserve of wealth. :) The fish was steamed just right! Not overcooked! It was my favorite dish in that dinner.
Spring veggies and Geoduck stir fry. I loved the lotuses, crunchy and sweet.
Golden Cheese shrimp balls :D This dish was okay.
Everybody's favorite roast chicken :D It's my 2nd favorite though. The chicken was roasted just right, skin was crispy and the meat was tender.
Steamed rice in lotus leaves. This rice was a bit heavy. I only had a spoonful to taste. I didn't really enjoy it.
Strange sticky rice steamed roll. Some say this is a dessert, I just say it's a dim sum.
Golden Mandarin. My favorite citrus fruit. :D
It was such a hefty meal, although it was set for only 6 people, it's actually good for us party of 7.
In the end, only only these remained...
Someone sucked the head and the tail of the fish. :D only the vertebrae and empty tea pots remain.
Wait... Have you counted how many dishes we had eaten? There seemed to be missing 1 main dish! :D When we were all full and about to pay the bill, suddenly the waiter handed us the last dish... which I am sure was lost in transportation and finally found our table in the end.
Abalone mushroom and lettuce. :D We were so full by then nobody dare touch this dish. It ended up becoming my dinner the next day. :D
