In a week’s time it’s CNY! Didn’t realise it was that soon!
I think because I’m not going back to Malaysia for CNY, I sort of “forgot” about it – especially when there isn’t any CNY hei fan here. 
Today I rang mom and asked her to email me the recipe for her zhai choy (the only other time I cooked it from scratch was when I was in UK but mom provided the ingredients and instructions – now I’ve to hunt for ingredients, as well as changing some of the cooking method – no frying of the thung fan and the fu chuk first…). I look at zhar yuk pictures and drool…
*sigh*
I will try to inject a bit of CNY “atmosphere” by making pineapple tarts (jam also from scratch wei!) and I’m planning to do this on Wednesday/Thursday (I’m from from Friday to Tuesday!)
Hope it turns out well!

Gong Xi Fa Chai!!! (early greeting ma)
And now you’ll be the Malaysian Chinese ambassador!
I saw from your FB status you wanted to make the jam in slow cooker…why not use normal pot ar??
Che-Cheh: if got ready made jam, would have gotten it instead of trying to make it from scratch…it is the no-choice-ness.
Janvier: ehhhh…don’t think so. no skills in (Chinese) Msian food, actually.
NJPAF: because i’m lazy to jaga normal pot – thought can throw ingredients in at night and wake up with end result in the morning! *hehe*
