Chinese New Year (Part 2) - The Mexican Dinner

Music: Jim Noir - I Met You Mood: Sticky

The Aunt from US is back for CNY celebration and volunteered to cook an 'unusual' CNY meal - a Mexican Dinner!

Women at work in their territory. You mess with them you don't get to eat.


They are baking gurus at home but totally clueless on how to melt the cheese using this microwave.


A table full of western goodies! Mashed potatoes, asparagus with mayo and anchovies, marshmallows, rasberry jam, crackers... sounds like a mixture of tea party and dinner.

The turkey to go with rasberry jam - I think the aunt brought it from US.


Tortillas with Salsa - I think she brought 70% of the ingredients from US as it cost so much lesser there. Imagine how much would a bag of taco chips that's equivalent to the size of a big bag of 2 kg dog food would cost here??


Fruit salad with loootsa greens. Mum said this is my ideal kind of dinner. Heh.


She taught us the correct sequence of savouring the 'unusual' meal: "we eat this every year during Thanksgiving, first you put in the asparagus, then the mashed potatoes, then the sauce that goes on top..." must STRICTLY follow the sequence!


"But...but... where's the meat??" Uncle whined after she plopped it into his hand. "You can have the meat after finishing this!" She commanded.

"No meat is just as good as not having dinner!" He scurried away with few big pieces of turkey after aunty turned to the kitchen.



This is Chloe! My cutest ever niece who called me "Aunty" (which by the way is being convinced by a group of evil brothers) until I buy her over by camwhoring with her.

Meet my mum's side's relatives from Johor!







Not forgetting a picture with the imported chef, the rosy cheek aunt who made us warm apple cider and cold apple pie in this hot weather ^.^
