Happy Lunar New Year 春節快樂 2012

The year of the dragon is upon us and we would like to wish everyone a safe, prosperous and happy new year. Posting will resume on Tuesday so see you then!

Happy New Year!

Hello everyone! It is time to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new again. Lets say good riddance together to all things ugly; unhappiness, bad relationships, rotten luck and hope for a better year ahead.

I would love to take the opportunity to thank all my readers who continue to visit my blog, brave enough to try my recipes and also kind enough to share my humble blog with others via social media of every kind. 

I hope you are all celebrating NYE in style! I am going to share a bottle of wine and watch the fireworks with my dear friend F from our veranda. Posting will resume on the 2nd with the MMM roundup for the month of December, see you then!

P.S photo taken from our veranda :)

Merry Christmas And Happy Holidays

It is another scorcher here in Melbourne! Fortunately I did manage to finish the remaining shopping for our Christmas lunch before midday. Two of our friends are coming to join us tomorrow and I am looking forward to a very pleasant afternoon with plenty of food, drinks and laughters.

We would like to wish everyone a merry Christmas and happy holidays! I will try to fit in a Malaysian Monday post on Boxing day so see you then.

春節快樂 Happy Lunar New Year

It's official! The rabbit has arrived! We would like to wish everyone a happy and safe lunar new year! We ended the year with a very low key reunion dinner at home and I will be posting our dinner menu in the coming days. 

I actually made a small effort to create some festive atmosphere this year - a red lantern and a little good luck sign 福 (good fortune) being put upside down  - 倒 (upside down) sounds similar to 到 (arrival) on the front door.

Some golden dancing ladies and mandarins and a 大吉 (big luck) sign on the kitchen window.

Our very simple reunion dinner for two.

A Quick Hello From Our New Home

Hello everyone! I must first apologize for my rather long absence from this blog. The moving went rather smoothly  and we are settling well in our new home that is twice the size of our old place. I am taking the rest of the week off from blogging as there are still quite a lot of work to be done. See you on Monday for a Malaysian Monday post!

P.S I have added a few photos while checking my emails at the internet cafe.

I have been cooking in our very large kitchen and loving every moment of it!

Work in progress for both our front and back garden.
