Organizing a reunion dinner can be very taxing and this year, my aunt who hosted the dinner, said she was stressed out making calls to the restaurant, checking their menu and reserving a private room. Thanks to her efforts, we had an early reunion dinner on 26th January (to accommodate her children and their busy schedules). My aunt had chosen a fairly new restaurant in town to try them out and we were not disappointed. The food was good and delectably presented.
We began with Loh Hei (tossing of yee sang) to the shouts of auspicious words which was fun and set the right mood for a reunion dinner. A relative took a video of us in action but unfortunately my aunt has not sent it to me yet.
Some pictures below:

Other dishes (not shown) included double boiled superior shark's fin soup with fish maw and scallop, steamed leopard coral fish with soya sauce and wolfberries and braised noodles with lobster and scallions. The dessert, chilled avocado with coconut and hashima ("snow jelly" ) was heavenly and to round up, we had new year "nian gao" with coconut shavings on top.
Our grateful thanks to our aunty for arranging this dinner and may she be blessed with added strength and stamina for next year's dinner! 😆😆
