CNY Dinner

Gaz's family and I went out for a premature CNY dinner yesterday night at a Chinese restaurant. The place was packed but we had a reservation so we walked straight in past the queue crowding at the door. This was what we ate:

Salt and chilli pepper chicken spare ribs. Very crunchy and aromatic but a little burnt. Probably due to the full house they had that night.

 

My favourite dish of the night - duck with yam. The yam was similar to 'wu kwok' - the fried taro ball dish filled with pork and lard! The duck was not fatty at all, and the yam was absolutely yammy!!

 

Fish fillets with chinese brocolli. We decided against having a whole flounder in salt and chilli pepper because we already had the spare ribs in salt and chilli pepper.

 

During the dinner, our cousin told us about how she went camping for three days in the Otway National Park. It sounded like fun, sleeping in a tent, cooking over a single burner stove, hiking and washing in the river. That is, until she told me that she did not bathe properly for three whole days - no shampoo or soap used because they are not environmentally friendly. I'm probably not going to go camping anytime soon!
