Here is a short description what is CNY Reunion Dinner in Wikipedia:
A reunion dinner is held on New Year's Eve where members of the family, near and far away, get together for the celebration.
We did not do the traditional one caused it was so troublesome to prepare 8~9 dishes. Instead we prepared Sawarak Laksa (I will explain later).
Sarawak Laksa have sliced fried egg, shredded chicken, bean sprout, steamed prawn, chopped cucumber & mee hon.
The most important thing of Sarawak Laksa is the soup. The paste need to be cooked slowly and the residual need to be remove from the soup. Of course the above pic is the end product. We spent few hours preparing and the finishing touch is Santan (Coconut Milk).
Ladies & Gentlemen, this is Sarawak Laksa. After few hours of co-operation with my sisters and our dinner was done. The taste was simply marvellous. 1 serving was never enough. Hahaha...
Time for explanation, Sarawak Laksa is a special dish comes from the town of Kuching in the Malaysian state Sarawak. The taste is very different from Curry Laksa. You have to try it to know it. It is much spicier and more fragrant than the regular laksa you have in Kuala Lumpur. As i mention earlier, the soup plays a major role, if the soup sucks, then whole dish sucks too.
As for dessert, i baked a lemon cake. It was a shame that i did not have whipped cream but it was ok because the cake was delicious. Hahaha... Hope you had a wonderful CNY Renion Dinner with your family and welcome the Earth Rat for a prosperity year.
