Mid Autumn Festival Reunion Dinner
Colourful candles and paper lanterns,
Are something we love playing during the moon cake festival.
As I grow up,
I find candles and paper lanterns are strangers to me.
Till this year’s Mid Autumn Festival
I joined up the children circle (right, a 20+-year-old-girl joined the kids’ crowd)
To bring back my childhood memories… on lantern and candles.
A day I longed has arrived. Finally, family and relatives could get together, for the reunion dinner and the chats with liquor after dinner.
For dinner, every dish was well prepared with loves and care…
Fried seafood tofu
Fried fish cake aka spring rolls
Home made fried wantan
‘Nga Gu’ – the adults’ favourite
Chicken – a must have on every occasion
Braised ginger duck
3 ply pork belly with yam slices – mum's signature dish
Desserts - The red bean tong yun in red bean soup homemade by me and mum. However, There wasn’t any empty space left in my stomach, I da-baoed home.
And now…
I am looking forward the next occasion – Winter Solstice Festival~

春节的最后一顿团圆饭
看了标题,也许你会问我,为什么才年初四就最后一餐团圆饭了呢?!
原因很简单,因为过了那个星期的假期后,开工的开工,上学的上学,也就没能那么常聚在一块儿了。
所以,所有的山珍海味也通通都‘跳’出来了!
这一天,我家做东。准备功夫可不能少。。。
先来个酸酸的青瓜当开胃菜。
香喷喷的巨虾 x 2 大盘。
焖冬菇干贝鱼漂珍珠鲍
绿绿的菜
清蒸嫩嫩的大鱼。
大姨带来的奶油虾。
不能少的肉鸡。
这个。。。好像是焖山猪骨。小姨准备的。
舅母的腌鸭。
还有酸酸有开胃的。。。忘了是什么。
过年的好几餐就这么的Post完了。下来会有更精彩的~

大年初一的团圆饭
过了一个晚上的除夕团圆饭,一众人决定来点儿清淡的。在这儿‘清淡’的意识,是要多点青菜,少点肉类,以便帮帮清肠胃。
所以,大年初一的晚饭就有了几道色香味俱全的佳肴。
妈妈准备的京都肉。
舅母的甜丝丝(五颜六色的菜)
大姨的酸菜肉丸带着另一番风味
小姨的炸鱼肉卷, 类是春卷,象征着春天的到来。
和精心炮制的金元宝
还有舅母的酸甜酸甜的青瓜丝排骨酸。
真不好意思,因为没办法将佳肴的华文名称翻译去英文,唯有发了这张华文帖子。希望你们会喜欢。
也在此祝大家情人节快乐,Happy Valentine’s Day!

除夕夜是我最期待的一晚。不但可以吃,也可以与亲戚们聚在一块儿。那种温馨的时光是令人最难忘的。除夕那晚的晚餐可是丰富极了。一般平时难以吃到的菜肴,都通通的再餐桌上出现。
餐桌上有。。。
大姨准备的焖冬菇肉丸。
姨姨的焖芹菜牙菇是大人们的最爱。
酸菜。
新鲜的蒸鱼。
小姨的野猪脚酸。
妈妈的拿手芋头扣肉。软绵绵+粉粉的芋头配上香喷喷的扣肉,绝配!
还有舅母烹的红烧东波肉,以馒头占汁,超赞!
其实还有些肉鸡等等,但,没机会照到~
呵呵,提早发红包。。。
真是不好意思,我竟让排那么前去拿红包。。。
更多的年菜,还有!!!

Tenji Japanese Buffet @ SohoKL
I was very excited when reading Precious Pea’s post on Tenji Japanese Buffet Restaurant at SohoKL, Mon’t Kiara; which located right above Cold Storage.
It was time where Tenji was running the Promotion Lunch which is priced at RM 29.90++ for the first hour, additional RM 10 for extra hour or RM 49.90++ for the full lunch session (dine-in from 11.30am to 4pm). GREAT DEAL, isn’t it?!
Without hesitation, I broke this great news to my family and friends and waited for replies if there is anyone would love to get together for the buffet spread.
Gladly, I had replies.
My parents thought of having a post-Christmas celebration on Boxing Day. They wanted a break and a real get together celebration after the year’s hard works.
Tenji has rather the same concept as Jogoya. As usual, there are small clips for you to place orders on the bar or foods counter and allow the waiter to serve those hot piping dishes right at your table. You can simply choose what you want to eat ad what you like among all 200 and more dishes!
As we took the RM 29.90 + RM 10 for the first hour and an extra hour, I didn’t really have much time to photo shoot seriously.
Fresh young coconuts – the sweet and fresh one. This was selling like hot cakes. Each of us grabbed only one and they just told us --- NO MORE. They then replaced the coconut juice with fresh fruit juice. Besides theses, there are carbonated drinks and also iced lemon tea.
There are also a variety of hot drinks you can opt for such as floral tea, and coffee.
Food –
A variety of Appetizer from western type of salad to Japanese style appetizer; from the picture, they are the Japanese style appetizer which I can’t remember every single of their names.
Smoked salmon rolls
Big fat juicy oyster
Chessy baked oyster
A variety of Sashimi and teriyaki.
grilled unagi – one of my fave
If you want something really filling, you may also find noodles at both western and Japanese section.
Soba
Spaghetti
From the Chinese section, you may find double-boiled soup which tasted really good. I myself had 3 or 4 bowls down my tummy.
And steam cod fish which was fresh, light, sweet, smooth and yummy. We had about 4 or 5 plates of this.
This one from the western section is a Big NO-NO as it was way too salty.
The healthy pan-grilled salmon
Last but not least, the desserts!
And Haagen Dazz ice cream.
Sadly, I had only a cup of it as the queue was toooooo long! Everyone seems to rush for the unlimited refills ice cream. And I myself got only this summer berries.
Never forget to have the mochi.
Black sesame mochi was the yummiest! Inside, there were the fragrant peanuts and black sesame and sugar. Others… skip larrr if you are already full! but do try also the sourish strawberry mochi. it gave a hint of freshness.
fresh baked tarts.
Honestly, I was lucky to have reserved a place for 5 for me and my family and I went for the New Year eve full session buffet too! I was just lucky to have made the reservation earlier as there were feedbacks that most of them not able to reserve the place.
I find that there are pro n cons in their New Year eve full session. (Will do another review on it soon). The pros are, I didn’t have to queue up for their Haagen Dazz ice cream and there was the unlimited coconut juice but the cons are… there were no Unagi and Cod Fish.
