Yuan Xiao Jie

Yesterday was "Yuan Xiao", so we had a family gathering at my sis' place. Everyone was having fun, with the "kids" (big + small kids) swimming, and the womenfolk preparing to whip up a sumptuous meal...everyone had laughter on their faces! For me, did not really help to cook, because there were already 3 great chefs busying in the kitchen. By dinnertime, we were laying out the table and getting ready to prepare the "Yusheng". This year, we prepared our own ingredients for the Yusheng, 'cos those bought from restaurants do not have as much ingredients as our own. Check out the Yusheng, looks delicious, right?



Yummy yummy....Of course, the tradition would be to mention auspicious words during the tossing, in hope that this year would be a lucky lucky one, full of good wealth and health...lucky lucky!



After dinner, everyone was feeling satisfied..and gathered to watch tv or play with the kids. Thereafter, we had the cake cutting session...wow!! In celebration of my dad's belated birthday, we cut the cake. The cake was very delicious, bought from Lana Cakes at Greenwood Ave. It was really nice, soft and spongy.....(trying is believing!!).
