Gong Xi Fa Cai

my place made-up for CNY..

.

The very first time we bought a kumquat tree..

And I did the flower arrangement..
The smell of lilies - damn nice..

Red embroidered wall hanging as a backdrop for the family altar..

Who can miss the goodies?

My place now with a very citrusy feel..

With the altar servers and the Archbishop at his house after CNY Mass in the morning..

Headed to my aunt's place in the afternoon..

Mummy on the left..

There, you cannot miss the kueh tarts in milk powder tins..

My cousin's maternal grandma makes them according to

my dad's late nanny's recipe.. Kristang style..
.

And you cannot miss my aunt's peppery pig stomach soup

with mushrooms and abalone.. A must on the first day of each CNY..
.

Charmaine, dad, aunt, mummy, myself and Jerome..
