CNY Menu 2011

Gong Xi Fa Cai. It's year of the Rabbit!

Cheers to 2 straight holidays every year during Chinese New Year. That makes it to a 4day long weekend. I simply love these bumming days. Days I can wake up latttttteeeeee. They say when one grows old, the appetite for sleep diminishes. But it seems to be happening the opposite for me, no idea. But I do feel one thing's for sure.. my metabolism has gone low. During my new year vaca in Manila, I suddenly remembered my fave dress. I swear to remember wearing it and fitting nicely exactly 3 years ago, and now I cant seem to slip myself in. Grrh. :)

Enough of the blabbers, here's showcasing what I experimented for CNY menu this year.

Chicken Gordon Bleu
This is one of my very first experiment recipes, something close to my heart.



Pumpkin Soup with Siomai & Japchae
One of those impromptu moments, something creative spins into my head. My pumpkin soup was lacking the color for my food presentation and I decided to drop a siomai into it. Weird concept? For a change, be unique! :) It's edible anyway. I hope I am the first originator of this, well I've never seen it anywhere yet.

Another is the japchae. I like this korean style potato vermicelli, more chewy.



Lastly, CNY wont be complete without bakkwa, sweet cake and puddings
