#上汤苋菜

[buffetlicious]

Today is Chinese New Year Eve and family members from near and far gathered together for the most important get-together meal of the entire year – The Reunion Dinner (团圆饭/年夜饭/团年饭). Now that the restriction for the max number of diners at a table had been lifted, we are back to Xing Hua Delights (回味轩兴化菜馆) for the get-together.

We started the meal with a small serving of Thai Style Bean Curd (泰式豆腐). Crispy on the outside and silky soft inside, the warm tofu is topped with julienned cucumber, carrot and onion with a spicy sweet and sour sauce over it. It is a refreshing appetizer to open up the palate.

Next up, the Amaranth Soup (上汤苋菜) in a milky broth of three different kinds of egg – chicken egg, salted duck egg and century egg (皮蛋). The homey soup and vegetable is well liked by everyone around the table.

And for the carnivores, the boneless Pork Ribs Deluxe (排骨王) with sprinkle of sesame seeds. It is succulent and sweetish with hints of tanginess. Here is another tofu dish, the Homemade Salted Egg Crispy Tofu (自制咸蛋脆皮豆腐). Love that fragrant savoury salted egg yolk sauce clinging to the golden brown deep-fried bean curd and seafood paste parcels.

Sister-in-law wanted this Salted Egg Chicken (咸蛋鸡) so we ordered a small portion. Sis commented that it was a little dry but I like the fragrant sauce and it went well with the rice.
