Nat had her first CNY eve dinner at Nai Nai's. Perhaps due to unfamiliarity or lights from the chinese altar, or she was frightened to see so many people showering her with attention all at the same time. Nat cried when we first reached Nai Nai's and we had to stay along the corridor for a while to give her time to warm up to her surrounding.
Nonetheless we had a great feast at Nai Nai's. First on the list was Yusheng which is a Chinese salad dish with abalone generously laid at the top of the salad consisting of carrots, radish, ginger, flour pillows etc. Prior to consuming, you had to toss the salad as high as you can and with each toss couples an auspicious phrase/wish for the new year. We had bee hoon, curry chicken, Broccoli with mushrooms, pig's intestine soup, drunken prawns and spinach with abalone. Yums! Nat sat beside mummy and watched on like hawk. Tapping on mummy's back whenever she felt like have a bite. She tried chicken that night and it went down well with her asking for more.
The adults ended the day with a game of blackjack and Chris was the biggest winner at the table as he regained his losses in the last game where every player paid him double.
