Chinese New Year Day

The first day of Chinese New Year coincided with our visiting day to the nursing home.

Since it was Chinese New Year, we were not able to buy dad's favorite chicken rice. So the alternative would be my mee goreng hah..hah...

I also fried two eggs for dad.

Then I cooked air fryer eggs for my breakfast.

My brother came to pick me up and off we went to visit dad.

Dad was cheerful and very talkative as usual.

My brother enjoyed carrying BoyBoy around. Since the kitty does not have a name, I call him BoyBoy.

After the visit we went for lunch at Krishna Curry House. It was mum's request. She wanted to eat biryani. Oh..oh... carbs LOL!

My brother ordered the claypot mutton and requested for three bones. With benefit of hindsight, it was not necessary since there was not much meat on the bones and very little marrow.

This is the claypot mutton with one piece of potato.

We each had a chicken biryani. Yes, I ate carbs. No issues, I go back to my meat eating ways the next day.

The biryani comes with onion raita.

We were give a banana leaf each to eat our meal. There were the usual banana leaf vegetables (three veggies - cucumber raita, spinach and curried gourd). The chicken was very tender and moist. And the biryani rice was so aromatic and so delicious.

I couldn't finish the rice. I was stuffed!

Even though the mutton curry was da bomb, I could not get more food down.

My brother was the champion.

My mum did a lot better than me hah..hah...

That was a fabulous Chinese New Year meal. Many thanks to mummy for the treat!
