Dealing with not being able to go home by cooking too much! But that's practically required anyway, for proper auspiciousness!

OMG shrimp chips! Or prawn crackers as you call it. *g* I haven't had those in YEARS! Reminds me of childhood parties. ^__^

I'm not sure which one is more accurate lol, the boxes all say different things!

Oh I haven't had multi-coloured prawn crackers in ages! Happy new year to you too 🎊

From:

My browser didn't initially want to load the pictures. I think they must have made it too hungry to keep working, because dang, that looks awesome.

Happy new Year! :D

I did hotlink the photos from twitter, and maybe it's better to hotlink from tumblr hahahaha

Wait, did you make all of these yourself? It's such an attractive, well-rounded, and nutritionally balanced spread. ;___; I continue to be curious about Shanghainese niangao.

Happy Big Stripey Cat Year, Helena! I hope you can go home next time! And that you have some delicious leftovers.

From:

Have to balance all the food types!! Savory niangao is the best; you can often find it under Korean brands!

Happy new year! This looks so good. I've never seen tangyuan served in that particular configuration!

From:

superborb

I think I started to get bored of tangyuan in hot water with osmanthus, so I started using jiuniang! It works well.

From:

I've only ever had it in ginger syrup. And actually growing up, I only encountered "ee" which is like a small pink & white version with no filling (like this). V interesting to learn about all the different versions!

From:

superborb

When I was little, I only ever had black sesame filled ones in hot water with osmanthus! I tried it in ginger syrup last year for the first time-- it was very different hahaha

Once again, I cannot see the pictures (I've decided that it's a Firefox thing), but I am sure it's delicious! Enjoy and happy Lunar New Year!

From:

superborb

Happy new year! Your food looks delicious! (I've been so hungrily envious of all the various Lunar New Year spreads that friends have been posting all over various social media platforms the past couple of days...)
