Tania & Mee Siam ......

INSTANT ! INSTANT! INSTANT!

If its prepped pastes for "instant" cooking, homecooked, without preservatives & msg ... that's the greatest, especially if you want to whip up a tasty, spicey dish this CNY.

Requests for my mother-in-law's "spicey stuff" for this CNY period kept us busy over the weekend, and the aromas wafting out of the woks were driving Miss Tania crazy.

Tickles me pink every time how "instantly" her drooooools come on :-)

We were just too pooped out to prepare dinner after cooking rempah the whole day, so we decided to treat ourselves that night (much to the kids' delight).

Haha, Tania was ALL EYES on the condiments, but I can tell you, there was ONLY ONE THING on her mind ... - the EGGS !!! ;-)))

Happy New Year Little Girl .....

Tania gets her first plate of Yusheng, ever!

Yes we broke the rules, but we removed the bits and bobs of ginger, so she got the veggies, salmon and lots of crispies.

Needless to say, she was eyeing the vegetarian spring roll .... yep broke the food rule .... but hey ... it was New Year, and our little girl needs all the luck in the world to get better :)))
Clever girl ... she eats the Yusheng first before the spring roll :))

















This was a special yummy moment for her ... ha ha ... she LOVED it !















Good girl - she licked the plate clean !













And right down to the last crispy crumb !

Gong Xi Fa Cai & GRRRRRRReetings

for an upROARiously GRRReat Year of the Tiger to all my loved ones, Flickr buddies and everyone around the world celebrating this auspicious yearly tradition.

Paw-somely yours,
Love,
Tania

~ ~ What a colourful plate !!!! ~ ~















All the lucky/colourful ingredients of raw fish (traditionally mackeral) but this year Mummy used salmon as its our favourite (especially Grandma's) - so we had LOTS, shredded green & white radish, shredded carrots, pickled ginger, pomelo, crushed peanuts, sesame seeds, pepper, oil and plum sauce. This year, we also had lots of colourful wiggly-looking crispies. So Yummy !

The tossing was awesome (wish I could hold chopsticks), especially with everyone saying something special each time a different ingredient was added or poured over the salad.
