This blog has been rotting for quite a long time due to the fact that it is Chinese New Year and all three of us are Chinese. 对不起 eh.

During CNY, I'm sure many of us are all eating lots of Chinese dishes that may bring good luck to you. For example, 捞鱼生(lao yu sheng). I think many understand the reason behind for eating this dish, so I shall save my saliva. Another example, eating fish 'cos 年年有余(nian nian you yu), 鱼 and 余 sound alike. Talking about fish, wah! That CNY eve, my family was having reunion dinner at some restaurant, we ordered the 'package' type. One of the dishes include FISH. Some red colour fish la. Then we waited like hell, then they gave us a BLACK colour fish. Then my mummy asked the waiter why is it BLACK instead of RED. Guess what the waiter said? "It FADES colour!" was his reply. -_- Fish also can fade colour one xia. Damn buay song about that dinner. Waited about 30-60mins in between each dishes and we had EIGHT dishes! And the order of the dishes was all jumbled up. Ok, enough of it...



公保鸡丁(gong bao ji ding). I personally like this dish quite a lot. There's a story behind this dish. It was this officer in China who liked to put chili in all his food, then think he was very popular, hence, people named this dish after him(many many many many years ago). I suppose this dish can be found in most places in HDB areas. Next time when you dine outside at Coffeeshops, do try this dish.

Dan Dan Mian also known as peddler's hot and spicy noodles. Something like Wan Ton mee? Heeren top storey, next to 77th street, there's a food stall. Think famous for its noodles. I thought it was wanton mee but my friend said it was Kok Kok mee. So I'm very confused. Back to Dan Dan Mian, I think it can be found at a Taiwan stall at Bugis Point. Opposite Parco and next to the famous Duck Rice stall. They sell Smelly Tofu too, so it should be quite distinctive.

Prawns. Think many should have eaten it during CNY or any other days unless you are allergic to prawns. I remember a story about prawns and earthworm. Want to hear? Orh, not interested huh? Alright..

"嫂子卖饺子， 实在好吃也!" Dumplings~ Dip it into vinegar with ginger. From China Beijing, I suppose.

Tofu with chicken. N I C E. Easily available in Singapore. Some even come in clay plate.

Dim sum. From Hong Kong? Wah, also shiok ah~

豆浆油条(tou jiang you tiao). Heard of the story about you tiao? It was about this big bad corrupted officer in China long before our time. The civilians got so mad that they deep fried him and his wife together. So that's why you tiao comes in pairs!

End of post.. Hope everyone has a fantastic year ahead. GOOD O levels results for ALL and get into the ideal JC or Poly. Snakes are in better luck this year compared to Dragons. To my fellow dragons, take care. To snakes, ggrrrr.... Wahahaha..
