Chinese New Year 2015 - Day 1 - Lunch with in laws

Day 1 of Chinese New Year, had lunch with family and my in laws. Cooked some curry chicken, assorted vegetables, fried meehoon and deep fried some mini spring roll and cuttlefish balls. Ordered some pizza too.

For dessert, I made some mango pudding.

Chinese New Year is a very tired affair for me, had to spring clean the house, do marketing , cooked reunion dinner on the eve of Chinese New Year and cooked lunch for guests on Day 1 of Chinese New Year.

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.
