No matter how busy you are, Chinese New Year is always the most important festival that you can't possibly miss. After a year long of hard work and hectic lifestyle, this is the time when you wouldn't mind taking the most expensive flight back to your hometown to celebrate CNY with your love ones. In our case, we paid double the usual price for our flight tickets, which I think were worth every single cent.
My mum is an excellent cook. We have always known that since young. That's why all three of us love cooking as well, which I attribute it to the genetic traits in us. As far as festivals are concerned, my mum will always cook up a table full of flavoursome dishes. Shark's fin soup is a must to the Lee family, partly because my dad's family runs a seafood business. In addition to that, braised sea cucumber, abalone with kailan in oyster sauce and steamed big fat kampung chicken are some of the dishes that I would expect every year. Ironically I would never complain even though we eat the same sort of dishes every year. Nothing beats sitting down at the round table and gobbling down the delicious food with the rest of the family.
