There's minimal decoration this year. As usual, we're sandwiched between two neighbours who are all out in full blast with their red lanterns & firecrackers, while we opted for the more sanitised & minimal display. But of course, in keeping with the tradition, there's always pockets of red colour here & there in the living room, the sofa, the flowers & the dining table.
As usual again, we have our one flower for all seasons, the lily.
Nee's keropok of the fish & sweet potato kind turned out alright. The sun decided to come out long enough one day & my mom managed to sun dry & fry them with my sister's assistance. It sounds like a family affair, but CNY always does.

Last night, it was like a war zone as usual, albeit with a shorter window of firecrackers. This morning, as we drove around the neighbourhood, we couldn't help but notice the piles of used fireworks boxes all stacked up neatly & orderly in front of houses. It looks like a direct defiance of the police's warning.
Greg & Nee wishes all our dear readers a very happy, prosperous & healthy New Year, & may you find hidden opportunities within the feconomic crisis!

Hi Greg and Nee,
I am so glad to come across this blog. I am a Foochow girl living overseas. Once in a while I would attempt to cook Foochow food but always not sure of the recipes and ended up googling and that's how I come across your blog.
I was wondering if Nee knows how to make the Sibu 'long koh' direct translation from Foochow to English 'egg cake'??? Everytime I go back to Sibu I must buy at least 1 ringgit worth of those. Nowadays I think you can get 4 with 1 ringgit.
Cheers,
Mel
