Tomorrow is “Chap Gor Mer” (The 15th day of Chinese New Year), which mean Chinese New Year will be officially ending by tomorrow. Most of the “Hokkien” prayed at “Chu 9″ (The 9th day of Chinese New Year), and most of the “Cantonese” will be praying at “Chap Gor Mer” as well.

During Chinese New Year, I had a lot of CNY dishes that cook by my lovely mum. Other than this, there was a lot of Chinese New Year Biscuit as well! Just some of them made by my mum and grandma, for the rest, my mum bought it. All were packed nicely in bottles. Here we go..

Time goes very fast, Chinese New Year is going to be ended and I have gone back to normal life. I enjoyed the time and life during Chinese New Year in my hometown (Taiping). My mum had cooked a lot of great and delicious foods for us, I will be sharing with all of you about what my mum cooked on the first day of CNY which was “Chu Xi Ye” (In Mandarin). Between, this was what we usually ate during some Chinese Festival, I enjoyed them a lot.

During Chinese New Year in Taiping, I played a lot and ate a lot. The only thing I didn’t do was I didn’t try any other Taiping food as I planned earlier, because I had no time to go anywhere other than meet friends. That’s fine, now we go on the foods that my mum cooked.

I still remember the first time I went to a Casino in Genting Highlands, but I couldn’t recall the name of the casino, it’s called Casino de Genting or something like that, it was my first time going in Casino, it was really great. Of course, I did gamble for the first time in Casino. I played Three Pictures and some other games, but when I recall the memory when I was in the Casino, I didn’t see any games which is called “Craps”, or what we call it as “Online Craps” on the internet. It’s a simple dice game and the table is something similar to roulette, it’s a game that I used to play on the internet before.

When the first time I entered Casino, it was midnight and I was actually hungry that time, I were going there with my friends, I still remembered there was some foods and drinks served in the Casino, some are paid and some are free one, I’d had some free drinks and some junk foods. Gambling can be addictive and you’ll probably forget about your hungriness, so foods and drinks in the Casino would probably catch your eyes. The Casino has a place where serves all the foods and drinks such as biscuit, hot drinks, mineral water and some breads, I’ve had all of them as I was really hungry in the midnight. Filling your stomach with hot drinks like coffee, milo or tea in the midnight is extremely warm, of course you must eat with some biscuits or breads to avoid gastric. Anyway, all the foods and drinks in the Casino are just good, as long as you can fill your stomach and continue gambling.

You may try the foods and drinks in the Casino when the next time you enter Casino in Genting Highlands.

KFC has launched their new product which was Zinger Tower Burger few days ago. I just went to One-Utama yesterday and bought a gift to give my gf’s parents because I was going to her house for a CNY dinner tonight. So, we have bought gift and I suggested to take our lunch at KFC since I have yet to try the Zinger Tower Burger because it looked delicious. Mc.Donald had Prosperity Burger and KFC had Zinger Tower Burger, but of course both burger had their own recipe and different taste.

Lou Sang (捞生) is a Traditional Chinese cuisine dish which every Chinese will eat during Chinese New Year. Oldish people said that Lou Sang will bring luck to everyone who join it, all things will be better than usual. Lou Sang is the name for the proccess and we call the Chinese New Year dish as “Yu Sang“. So, Chinese New Year is coming soon and I can’t wait to back my hometown (Taiping) to celebrate with my family and friends! Before Chinese New Year, I have visited most of the shopping complex to view their Chinese New Year Themes, I have also tried Chicken Prosperity Burger at Mc.Donald, then I have also eaten Yu Sang, which mean I will be very lucky in Year 2009!

My collueges organized a lunch which just to get together before we go for holiday, and the main purpose for the lunch was to “Lou Sang”. So, we had chosen a restaurant which has Lou Sang because not every restaurant serves it. The restaurant is named as Garden Palace Seafood Restaurant which is located somewhere around Chao Yang, SS2 PJ. “Lou Sang” consists of a lot of ingredients and it’s very colourful, it mix with oil, sweet sauce and fresh salmon fish.

I have told you in my previous post (Chinese New Year Themes In Shopping Complex – Part 1) that I will be going to Mid Valley for another education fare and definitely I will snap some photos over there. Other than collecting University info in educational fare, our main purpose was shopping and buying new cloth for Chinese New Year.

Of course, Mid Valley did decorate the hall with Chinese New Year Themes as well. Other than Mid Valley, we did visit One-Utama as well. Almost all shopping complex did decorate their hall with Chinese New Year Themes because Chinese New Year is the biggest and most important festival for Chinese!
