Chinese New Year 2015

The first CNY for Baby Orange!

CNY At Home

Papa cooked the CNY eve dinner this year at home. That's because usually we have to be on time for dinner outside during CNY time, and that is lacking. So it is better he cook for everyone even though he just amateur cook. Some dishes he "cheated" like rendang and kangkung belacan he used packet mix :) The stir-fry roasted pork he bought the porkie from stall. And the salad prawn batter is just store-bought type. The only help I gave is making the salad for salad prawn, using Kewpie mayonnaise haha.....

We did a Sakae Sushi lou sang takeaway at home :)
Didi got scalded by hot kettle during CNY visit to Ah Kong house, see the scald mark on his arm?

Our CNY eve reunion dinner cooked by Papa.
I didn't post adults photos as Papa took it badly :P
Missing Cousin Ally this year as she was in UK.

CNY At School (年初六回校庆新年)

The children had a week's holiday from school. On the 6th day of CNY, they go back to school for CNY celebration at school. This is the school's tradition every year to have children come back to school in new clothes or traditional costumes. They got angpao from their class teachers too.

Cherry in cheongsam and Didi in his traditional costume.
He match it with jeans as this was his costume for 6 years old kindy concert.

CNY shopping and makan 

What is CNY without more shopping and makan right? Went for many shopping trips and makan on the side. Remember that CNY is extremely crowded at Penang, so we try not to go those tourist spots. Traffic is bad at all main roads too as our roads are really much narrower compared to KL.

Irrawaddy Fine Foods brunch, Cherry had Egg Omelette Sandwich and hot chocolate. Didi had Chicken Schnitzel.
I had Full English Breakfast,  and Papa ordered Pasta Carbonara set. Baby Orange shared with us. 

Gurney Paragon red lanterns. Love the blue sky!

Lunch at Angus House. Only I had steak :P
