I’m just gonna fill this post with pictures of food, because after all, that is what most people talk about during Chinese New Year, right?
We had a dinner gathering this evening at a nearby restaurant called Chili Palace with some of my hubby’s colleagues. And if you think about it matter-of-factly, taking into account the time difference between Malaysia and the US, we actually had a reunion LUNCH, according to Malaysian time!
Not the typical Chinese New Year reunion dinner with dishes like jiu-hoo-char, too-thor-th’ng and the like though … Oh, how I miss those!
The dishes we were served tonight were mostly chili-inspired, but what would you expect from a restaurant with the name “Chili” in it, eh?
The primary objective was to get our tummies filled, and we definitely accomplished that!
Although…I’m still very much craving the pineapple tarts I always pig out on during Chinese New Year! SIGH…
So there you go…I’ve posted my Chinese New Year feast pictures…now I can’t wait to drool over what everyone else had…. here’s wishing a happy and prosperous Chinese New Year to everyone, all the way from the US! 🙂
Have a Blessed Chinese New Year!!
The Giddy Tigress says: And a blessed Chinese New Year to you and your family too!
Happy Chinese New Year! No celebration here though…. plan to drive over to San Jose to catch some festive mood on the street though.
If fate brought us together, we might bump into you on the street!
The Giddy Tigress says: I didn’t know there were festive moods on the streets of San Jose…tell me about it!
Wishing you & your loved ones God’s bountiful blessings in the Year of the OX. 🙂
The Giddy Tigress says: Thank you, Jem! Happy New Year to you too!
Happy New Year to the Giddy Tiger family!!!
The Giddy Tigress says: Happy New Year to you too, Rinnah!

GONG XI FA CAI! At least you enjoyed your dinner even if it was across the seas 😀
The Giddy Tigress says: Would have been better if we had those familiar CNY dishes!
Happy Chinese New Year! Never mind about your ‘sacrifice’ these few years. Once you come back to Malaysia you can have as much CNY food as you like!
The Giddy Tigress says: Yep, that’s what we plan to do next year! 🙂
