Happy 2009!

It is now 1 a.m in the morning on the first day of 2009. Here's wishing all of you a very Happy New Year!
New Year's Eve is a great time to partake in lavish food. Chinese have the tradition of eating steamboat on the Chinese New Year's Eve. This practice is passed down from ancient China where the weather is usually cold during Chinese New Year, and therefore the entire family can huddle together to enjoy steaming bowls of soup and warmly cooked food. So, what could be more appropriate to usher in the New Year than to have a sumptuous steamboat dinner for all of us. Personally, I feel that it makes more sense to eat steamboat here where the weather is cold than to have it in Singapore where the weather is usually hot and humid.


Since we are on Pacific time now, we were also able to watch the countdown at New York Times Square while enjoying our sumptuous steamboat dinner. Happy New Year to all!
