Chinese New Year Eve 2022 : All By Myself..............

Don't wanna be....all bah mah sef....anymore..... wahahahaha!!! Fortunately I am one of those strange people that actually thrive when they are by themselves.

While some people are all kelam kabut getting prepped up for their Chinese New Year reunion dinner, I am here at home, all zen-like. Give me a computer and Netflix, I am all good.

So as not to miss out on the ubiquitous yee sang that every table will be tossing this evening and the next few days (in fact some have been tossing like the last few days already), I got me a mini yee sang. Hah!


Why worry? Just Grabfood my yee sang and kautim!


It came with all the fixins and two pairs of chopsticks (even though I did not request for cutlery).


Initially  I wondered how mini is mini. Enough or not for one person?


Oh yes. it was very generous for one person. Coming from me, it is legit.


The unfortunate part is that the fish skin was not crispy. I also found that the dressing was a tad to sweet. Maybe the plum sauce they used was on the sweet side.


Other than that, I enjoyed this salad very much.


That's a healthy start to the new year. So tomorrow eat what, eh? (so typical of me)

Maybe I will eat this.


To everyone who is celebrating the Chinese New Year, have a wonderful reunion dinner and here's wishing you Gong Xi Fa Cai/Keong Hee Huat Chye! And please yah...remember to observe SOPs even among family members and stay safe!

    1. In a way, it is a blessing that I am a loner. I survived so well during the lockdown. In fact I loved the lockdown LOL!

  7. Oops, I've got some catching up to do....I don't mind being alone either. I thought I'd be doing that this CNY until my husband also decided last minute that he's not going back to Ipoh. I thought I could relax and order food delivery but ended up I have to cook our reunion dinner...lol. P/S: If there's one thing I won't order, it's a yee sang for one...hah..hah...so weird-lah tossing sendiri...wuahahahaha!
