How better to celebrate Chinese New Year than with chomping down delicious Chinese cuisine with friends in a warm and toasty place :)
Here are pictures below from the HBS AABA Chinese New Year Dinner at Hei La Moon from January 2012...
Everyone mingling before the feasting begins...
And the fooding begins!!!
Assorted Chinese Cold Cut Meat and Jelly Fish Appetizer--I LOVE Jelly Fish and all those fatty cuts and slices of pork and beef! A MUST HAVE at every Chinese Banquet Style occasion!!
"Birds Nest Seafood"--this dish always confuses me since it's not actual "Bird's Nest" as many restaurants name it, so I'm always sad when I think of how delicious (and rare/hard to find it is in the U.S.!!) real Bird's Nest is!!!
I never love the crunchy fried noodle part either, it somehow always ends up tasting too oily or old and not so crunchy/tasty...
Honey Walnut Shrimp--with pineapple chunks, you can hardly ever go wrong with this dish, everyone loves it!!! YUM YUM :)
Steamed Cantonese Style Lobster with Ginger and Green Onion--always a classic banquet dish, I like lobster but not love, it's also really messy and kind of hard to get at LOL
Chinese Fried Chicken--with the chips! I remember as a kid I always tried to sneak in as many chips as possible and once, my family looked over and I had basically collected all the different colored chips on my plate, empty soup bowl, and I just looked up at them innocently like "hallo?! is this okay?!"
Fried Whole Fish--I *think* this looks like a Flounder but it's usually either Rock Cod, Red Snapper or Flounder (and sometimes Tilapia or Cat Fish but usually those taste more fishy :(
Baby Bok Choy with Chinese Black Mushrooms--I LOVE Bok Choy and Petah LOVES MUSHROOMS, so this was a very heart warming, yummy complement to all the meaty dishes we'd had right before...
Chinese Fried Rice--I sadly cannot ever comment much on this as I'm usually stuffed and curled up in a ball by the time fried rice or noodles (usually the last savory Chinese dishes to come at the end of a banquet style dinner) from having eaten too much haha
Chinese Stir Fried Noodles--noodles, symbolic for good luck and long life :)
Gan Bei!!! Drink Up!! Charles, Josh, Ianz and Carl :)
Me--Chanel Fall 2009 Rabbit Fur Dark Grey Reversible Wool Jacket, Chanel Black Cashmere Sequins CC scarf :)
(Kept me nice and toasty thru out the Boston and East Coast Winters!!)
Me, Merry and Ming--bundled up and ready to brave the cold outside...
And when we got home, this is what we found!!!
Bow Wow having his own lil' celebration of sorts, going at it on the Bully Sticks (yes, erm, they are cow thingies...) but he LOVES them and they're supposed to be a really healthy and long lasting treat for doggies!!!
We LOVE this baby face...awww Bow Wow, this is why you get away with so much naughtiness!!! (Just like Petah! LOL jkkk, maybe...not)
