Chinese New Year

Over and done with... sigh.. a good breather actually from all he hustle and bustle of being in Penang (though it is once a year). My mother always in the kitchen of our family home in Penang cooking lunch and dinner and thinking of what to cook for lunch and dinner as our family is huge, also counting all my cousins with their big feet and my sons' as well. Hah!

Anyway, I try to eat out as often as possible in Penang because I only go back once a year and that it is the only time I get to eat Penang food from the streets. Muar Chee at Gurney Drive, Nasi Kandar at Hameediyah, Popia (with the original crab meat) at Kek Seng, Assam Laksa at Air Itam, Wan Tan Mee at Genting (just behind behind our family home at Island Glades) and the list goes on of course. Til the following year..

The cupcakes above were made by my friend Margaret. It was too pretty to eat!
