I Love Chinese New Year!
Not only because of the two days public holidays we Malaysians get but also, it's bounty time at the office! Haha. It's good to be surrounded by generous people. :)
Not only do I get mandarin oranges (though less in amount compared to previous years), I also got angpow from bosses and a colleague always, always brought me the nian gao ever since he knew I love eating them fried with yam.
Yeay, angpow collection is good this year! LOL
The day after tomorrow, I'm joining the queue at the company's Chinese New Year Open House and collect angpow from the MD. *smile*
wow..that's nice!
ReplyDelete@wenn,
ReplyDeleteIt sure is! :)
Happy Chinese New Year! You still collecting angpows!? I am the one who keeps giving out. :(
ReplyDeletei think the month of Dec till Feb is always the festive season, everyone is on festive mood right?? we have xmas, new year, CNY and thaipusam, and when will raya join the group again?? :p
ReplyDeletei'm still on leave until tomorrow, urgh, i'm so anxious about getting back to the battlefield again~~ i want more CNY holidays~~ :p
ReplyDeletehmmm, so you've got lots of mandarin oranges and angpows this year?? wow, jelesnya~~
ReplyDeleteI had tasty nian gao this CNY too. They're good but can't eat too much coz it's deep fried. I love it with yam or sweet potato.
ReplyDelete@ECL,
ReplyDeleteGive out some for us too! XD
People give me angpow, I just take. Hahaha
@SK,
ReplyDeleteStart work today already? Well, we get another day off next Tuesday so cheer up! LOL
Aiyoh, a few angpows here and there. You more lucky - even company give you Jusco voucher. I don't have. Haha
@Mei Teng,
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to eat the nian gao this weekend. Deep fried galore this weekend for me! LOL
Lina, sounds like you are having a blast! Awesome! More angpow somemore.. Never, never refuse an angpow because it comes with good tidings. I keep a few in my bag to have them with me all the time because they are good luck charms, sort of.
ReplyDeleteAs for nian gao, some people like them steamed and then dipped in grated coconut or kaya but mostly, it is deep-fried sandwiched between a slice of yam and sweet potato. Enjoy!
Best wishes for a happy, healthy and prosperous lunar new year, Lina!
@Happysurfer,
ReplyDeleteI have to try the steamed nian gao. :)
Angpow is good luck charm, you say? Ha! Then I should keep a few too. Luck is good. :)
Thanks for the wishes. I hope you have a great year ahead too.
I love fried nian gao with yam!! Have you tried the one at Reminisce Cafe in Mid Valley? Yummy!
ReplyDeleteWow!! So many angpows to collect? Can fund your next Japan trip lah like this! Haha! Enjoy collecting angpows! : )
ReplyDeleteMandarin oranges were more expensive this year, that's why people buy less I guess.
ReplyDeleteCan I come along, I never got to get a single ang paw this year la ... LOL!
ReplyDeleteAh, oranges and angpow... Good for you...
ReplyDelete@foong,
ReplyDeleteCannot go lah at Reminisce Cafe lah. Got stuff I cannot eat served there. @.@
I wish the notes in the angpow packet are purple. Then faster can top-up funds for Japan trip! LOL
I guess so - so expensive cannot buy a lot of mandarin oranges. Maybe I should wait for Panda to give some next year? ^_^
@Nick,
ReplyDeleteYou are the BOSS. We paw you lah! Hahaha
@Lrong,
ReplyDeletedefinitely good to get them. :)
glad you had a blast. i prefer steamed nian gao with shredded coconut. Happy CNY!
ReplyDelete@LR,
ReplyDeleteI bet yours too is a blast. :)
I'm gonna try steamed nian gao this weekend and see whether I like them that way or not. :D
happy chinese new year, lina! woot! your office is indeed super generous! i would already be jumping with joy if we were supplied with a few more days of holiday. or bonus? :p
ReplyDelete@levian,
ReplyDeleteI rather have an extra month bonus than angpow! LOL
