Tong-tong-tong Chiang: Part 4

Reunion dinner was great, with drinks, food (that everyone allegedly enjoyed) and gambling, of course!! Muahahah. But I have yet to find my Mahjong kakis. :( Anyways, I digress.

Dinner dishes were relatively simple and limited, as the tasks of making kuih, my own yee sang, hand-rolled dumplings and all proved too much for one to handle. Yes, I also had Mommy to help out. :D

Hmmm... so here are some pics that I managed to wrangle in, despite the hectic schedules. Some were contribs from JessicaHippo, who kindly stepped in as photog, when I had my headless-chicken moments. 

First dish, was of course, the ubiquitous and compulsory Yee Sang.

Ingredients:

White radish

Carrots

Deepfried taro (green & yellow)

Black sesame crackers

Peanuts, ground 

Sesame seeds

Papaya pickle

Ginger pickle

Cucumber pickle

Green radish pickle

Pickled shallots

Red chilli

Green, red & yellow bell peppers

Pomelo sacs

Spring Onion

Coriander

Lime pickle

Salmon, raw

Squeeze of lemon

(This is all I remember, right now...)

Dressing:

Plum sauce

Sesame oil

5 spice powder

Salt

Pepper

Brown sugar

Lemon juice

After which, the Pie Tees followed: Deep fried crispy shells, filled with a "stew" of shredded jicama, carrots, mushrooms and a chilli sauce, similar to that of the chicken rice accompaniment.

The main dishes were, Salted egg yolk prawns (neighbour's curry leaves had a mysterious disease, so that was omitted), 

fried sea bass with fried Chai Por (salty preserved radish), where I later added julienned spring onions and chilli with a sweet-sour sauce, 

Tumeric fried chicken, 

Broccoli with Enoki, Shiitake, Black Sea Moss (Fatt Choy) with Oyster sauce.

Dessert was Almond Tea & Black Sesame Dumplings and Red Dates, Gingko & Lotus Seeds in a citrusy-honey infused light 'soup'.

AuntyNess brought this wine, which she said, was the one that made her drunk. Teehee.

I am now aiming for the next batch of food, for the Chap Goh Meh. Not really sure what to cook then, because, the only thing we eat then is the Kiam Chai Boey, but I shall include more things to perk things up a little. After which, the "Real" Kiam Chai Boey shall emerge. All for ME ME ME. Heheh. Do drop by, if you are interested. :D
