We never had a big Chinese New Year's dinner with Grandparents when I was growing up. Mum, being a 'girl' could not spend Chinese New Year with her parents and Dad's parents were not around. However, Mum always made a lot of food for the four of us. Now in my family of four, to keep up the Chinese tradition, I decided to make more food than we could finish so we 'have more than enough' for the New Year. I normally make two dishes (one meat one vegetable dish) when I cook Chinese so making six dishes is a little of a stretch for me. This is my version of a 'feast' this Chinese New Rabbit Year.
Whole steamed fish (snapper) with ginger and shallot. BBQ pork (I tried to cut the tender meat still hot after it came out of the oven and it turned into pieces!). Coconut prawns*. Boiled pork dumplings. Marbled tea eggs. 100 Blossoming flowers*.
