Chinese New Year in Perth

Since migrating to Perth, I have to get used to the Chinese New Year celebrations. I have the say that the only time I can really "feel" the CNY is in church.

This year, we had our celebration on a Saturday afternoon. It was different cos there were a few demostration on how to cook certain food. I wished I brought my camera!! Grr...

We had dumplings, Nian Gao and Po Piah. Not sure what dialects have these on CNY but there were really yummy! I had a feel on how to make the dumplings. It wasn't easy at all I must say! Just the fillings itself takes alot of effort because every ingredient has to be shredded thinly. Anyway as I mentioned, it was so good that I had like more than 10 dumplings!

Nian Gao was homemade! Can believe these days people still make them at home when they can buy them from anywhere! But this homemade one was really good. It wasn't very sweet and it was fried with my fav YAM!!

So now I can't say that I don't enjoy my CNY in perth!
