It's new years eve, and come noon, as usual, praying was the order of the day. The food used for praying was later taken as lunch! The ever exciting and all-important reunion dinner steamboat looms ahead and then its jonker street(chinatown) for the countdown. photoss Food for the gods and my late granddad  Queuing up for food. Its a long queue.  Feast in for lunch  This rocking chair has plenty of history rocking under it.   Steamboat preparation   Played along with the kids  The peace before the storm  Stock up  The younger table  VVIP table  This table for 3rd gen 1-8 according to age     Attack the meats ONLY, as these meaters show us how.  after the war: bloody mess   transform fast: steamboat mess instantly and totally cleaned up for next dinner.  Filling the effects of steamboat.  The next diners are my grandma's sister's entire family. This is a yearly tradition   The little punk who just lives down the street from my house in johor is reunited with me   Arrived at jonker street at 11pm! came across the family who came & dined at home earlier.coincidental! 1st stop: straight into the cendol shop.    The reason to come jonker street   Not as crowded as last year. Recession?        12 midnight in jonker street. CNY is here. Day 3 to be continued. Tuesday, January 27 @ 9:44 PM
   @ 5:55 PM
Its no doubt my favourite festival of the year and as usual traditionally, off we go back to malacca to celebrate. But that's not before we have the car boot laden with tons of CNY snacks and steamboat food for the reunion dinner. This year CNY happens to run consecutively with the weekend so we took the chance to return a day earlier than usual and put 3 nights in melaka. There wasnt much action and excitement on the day before the eve of CNY, but we tried to make the most out of it. DAY 1 photoss Stock up, this sight calls for a shot to be taken.  Uncle bought some kid-friendly poppers for the kids Equality: important when you have soo many kids around
Day 2 to be continued.. Thursday, January 22 @ 11:27 PM
We weren't disappointed when we emerged from the mrt station cos we saw what we wanted to see. Bazaars, crowds, noise & added together: chaos. Our 1st objective is to have dinner 1st and we went to the huge hawker centre off chinatown heritage centre. There were soo many stalls and just too many stalls that we both settled on the same ramen stall. Ironic.    Some performance in chinatown  bro selecting some taiwanese goodies that are all over the place.       Somehow this chinatown lacks some kick and excitement in it, even though it's crowded. I think Jonker Street in melaka town is better and we're going there on CNY eve! And steamboat's back on the menu for reunion dinner after missing for a year. This is by far the most exciting CNY to date. So here's wishing everyone a HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR! MIA until tuesday. |
