The irony of life is this.. When I was in Singapore, our family has never celebrated Dong Zhi specially... It was never a family tradition to do so but here in Dubai, because WL's family tradition is to celebrate dong zhi together.. she has been organizing and inviting us to her place for dinner the past two dong zhi :)
I really appreciate her kind gesture.. since you know how they say 每逢佳节倍思亲.. and suddenly a non event in my family in Singapore becomes like a precious treasure to me. I think we should continue this tradition even when we are back in Singapore... at least have to insist me, max and Ace to eat together on this special day.. even if we cannot celebrate it with our parents...
WL even took out her Armenian wine to share with us.. is very sweet port of some sort that is made of promegranate.
Give the man a wine opener!
As it was a weekday and they were all working, I suggested that i will cook a pot of rice with stuff inside so they dun have to cook... So I did my salty duck rice. First time cooking such a huge share for so many pax.. a little apprehensive.. BUT the feedback was not bad!:) hehe
Ace feeling cold and wrapping himself up.. haha:)
WL still prepared the MUST HAVE in ALL Singaporean gatherings... CHICKEN CURRY!:) hahaha
Seafood curry...
And for the vegeterians.. they also had a green veg
And some steamed toufu:)
Was very happy night where we just sit and chit chat lah:)
Last but not least... DUMPLINGS:) Hahaha :) All the way from Singapore too.. but too bad some of them burst when we were cooking so tat is why can see the black sesame paste...
All in all, a very enjoyable quiet evening:)
PS: Ace recieved a xmas pressie from Aunty WL.. it is a lego like robot set with pieces that can light up like the one that he had wanted to buy but did not buy in the end.
