Chinese New Year Eve Reunion Dinner
Last year, we were not able to have a reunion dinner due to the pandemic. I was then working in Sibu and was not able to go back to Kuching to celebrate Chinese New Year.
This year, it is a different story. The number of Covid cases has reduced and the situation is more or less under control. Therefore this year, my family was able to have a reunion dinner together with siblings and their families. The reunion dinner is a tradition that has been practiced by many Chinese families for decades.
It is the time of the year when the family is able to get together and catch up with each other while enjoying many Chinese New Year delicacies. Those who are working outstation or even overseas would make great efforts to go back to their hometown to celebrate this special occasion.
It is not surprising to find 3 or more generations gathering for this special function. During this time, I catch up with my nieces and nephews and find out what's happening in their lives.
We had so much good food. In the past, most if not all the food would be home-cooked. Nowadays, food bought from restaurants are also very common.
Roasted piglet.
Fried noodles.
Smoked ducked with vegetables.
Roasted lamb
Fried prawns
Steam fish
Duck with tumeric
And finally fried mix vegetables
As you can see from the photos, we had a feast. Although our parents are no longer with us, the Siaw family tries to maintain this family tradition. I look forward to the Chinese New Year Eve reunion dinner next year.

Hi @godfish, I don't think I used cesky tag for this post. I thought that i may have typed wrongly but I can't find the cesky tag
I am sorry, my bad, i had another filter on.
It's ok. No problem.
Those all look sumptuous and in particular the duck dishes. I am so glad that you were able to have a Chinese New Year Eve reunion again!
Last year there was no reunion dinner due to covid. I really enjoyed this year's dishes, and most were home-cooked too.
Yes that was why I was happy you had it this year. So often home-cooked is the best, and they all looked delicious
They were definitely delicious. Looking forward to next year.
Let's hope that we are all back to normal by this time next year!
Let's pray that this will be the case. I hope that I can do more traveling then.
It looks so delicious! I should not be seeing this on an empty stomach LOL
Yes, it was delicious. I hope that we can keep this tradition alive.
Looks fantastic! I love Chinese food! I used to work for a Chinese company here in South Africa, so whenever our boss came here we'll go to a 'Proper Chinese' restaurant. I also had the privilege of going to an annual conference in China and the photos in your post are such a great reminder of Chinese food.
I hope that you have the opportunity to enjoy Chinese food soon. Being Chinese, I liked Chinese food the most, but I also like Thai and Japanese food.
Gong Xi Fa Cai! So glad to see you finally have a proper family reunion since the pandemic started.
Thank you for your new year wishes. I saw from Facebook that you visited Kuching and I hope that you had a great trip and was able to meet your family and friends.
That's right but unfortunately, we couldn't stay long though. Hopefully we can make another trip to Sarawak end of the year.
