Chinese New Year 2015 - Day 2 - Lunch with siblings and family
Day 2 of Chinese New Year, today went visiting at my brother's house where all the siblings and family gathered to exchange Chinese New Year's greetings and wishes.
The second day of the Chinese New Year, known as "beginning of the year" was when married daughters visited their birth parents, relatives and close friends. (Traditionally, married daughters didn't have the opportunity to visit their birth families frequently.) Read more from wikipedia
As my parents were not around anymore, so we prayed and make offerings to our parents.
After prayers, we had lunch, we ate what we offered to our parents, it was as if our parents are with us.
For desserts, we had mango pudding, I made them. :)

Lunch at Food Republic Food Court City Square Mall Singapore
Love the beautiful interior designs at the Food Republic Food Court in City Square.
The designs looked like those shophouses in the vicinity.
One of my favourite food, thai food. :)
Hubby had sweet and sour fish fillet with rice, while I got the set (if I am not mistaken think is less than $10). My set consists of thai pineapple rice, with tomyum soup and a dessert. The fish cake was ordered separately.

Happy Valentine's Day
Chinese New Year is fast approaching in a few days time, so decided to bake some pineapple tarts instead of buying them from the supermarkets. Home baked is still the best.
Since today is Valentine's Day, I used a heart shape cookie cutter to shape some pineapple tarts. Happy Valentine's Day.
Guess I am getting on in age, could not bake as much as I wish, waiting for the pineapple tarts to cool down, before transferring them to containers.
