7th DAY OF THE CHINESE NEW YEAR

Should have posted this blog much much earlier but because mumsie's computer 'kong out' for quite some time..and when mumsie's new (birthday present from daddy) computer came..mumsie was too busy figuring how to use it and and and many excuses......so they will be more 'post dated blogs' comming soon in the near future.....(mumsie hope)
Supposedly the 7th day of the CNY is the birthday of all mankind...so on this day traditionally mumsie's mummy will always make sure that the whole family will eat noodles .However in the modern day Malaysia, the popular food to eat on this day is "Yee Sang" which signifies that business is easy to grow. Everyone should participate in tossing the 'Yee Sang" . This indicates success in all your business activities. So for the past few years traditionly mumsie will buy a dish of 'Halal Yee Sang' to 'lou' with CSM's staff.
Mumsie always make sure that the plate for the 'Yee Sang' is 'halal' too which means each year gotta get a new plate.....with disposable chopsticks...Toss the 'Yee Sang' high....the higher the better!!!!

AND must finish it...must not leave any thing on the plate...!!!

So mumsie this year got Azlan the driver to get the 'Yee Sang' from Holiday Inn....cost $100/-

Get ready ! Get Set! AND LOU, LOU, LOU!!

This year's 7th Day fell on Saturday so not many staff on duty...

Yum yum yum... SEDAP!

Every year we used disposable cups to eat our 'Yee Sang'

See we all enjoyed the dish!!! Well Done CSM

If mumsie remembers correctly the ritual for this day also includes bathing with flowers..Yes mumsie's mum used to put flowers in the bathroom tub and the whole family bathe with it..after which we will find our bodies stuck with flower petals (No we don't jump into the tub we dish out the water on to our bodies....wonder if mumsie's mum still does that???)

As this year the '7th Day fell on Saturday KFC (mumsie's brother) and family came to 'LOU

Sand' with us too...So we had our dinner in ' Jade Palace'

Grandma and Yee Poh with Jane

Danny boy was not around..cos he gotta to rush back to Malacca to 'mug'......for his final term exams!!!!

The entrance to Jade palace

Mumsie with their 'Yee Sang' table...all the restuarant tradionally will put up this 'decor' at thier entrance..dunno why???

And now the tradition 'TOSS' the higher the better

This is before the 'attack' with chopsitcks. This is the starter dish....Well mumsie is tooooo bz eating after this so forgot to take pictures of the rest of the dishes....any way the rest of the dishes are yummy that's why mumsie return a few days later with 'another gang' to LOU again

Girls , mumsie misses you...Mitchelle too is not here cos she too is 'mugging' for her exams.....(Important year for her....especially if she wants to score 10As for her 'O' LEVEL this year)

NOT only the food taste good their service is first class too!!

The 'CHUS - minus the girls and the LEONG - minus their girl too) Any way hope to get everbody in NEXT year!!!

This is how the dish looks like before they add the 'crackers' (golden nuggets in catonese) and the raw fish!!

Hopefully mumsie will be able to post more of the CNY'S happenings the next few days....
