Why no visiting this year? Still can visit up to 8 persons at one time le. Lol.

usually mass gathering on Day 1 (maternal), day 2 (paternal). Most flexible. But this year no big gatherings mah.

The older generation will probably meet up lor. Younger one like us, just listen to my mother's instructions

Making my own. Not much, mostly acher acher, and Kuay Lapis, espresso cake. That's all. 

Will likely be making own pineapple tarts again this year, plus some buscuit with my family. Nothing much to buy since not expecting visitors due to the headcount restrictions. All my annual gathering have to be cancelled for this year, for exercising social responsibility.

If anyone can point towards a brand for those traditional cookies type, i don't mind trying. 

I dunno whether i dare to try the hae bi fried shrimp roll... 100% confirm Sore throat. But sibei shiok 

I have been buying hae bi hiam roll from SS ($5.95/pkt of 500g) for the past 3 years. Reasonably good and inexpensive. You wanna to give it a try?

I will save the earth and stop the waste.

I was even pass some to my MIL.

One or two lah.

For extra CNY cookies, you have to wait till end of CNY period (15th day of CNY and beyond), you still can wait? Or are you "treating" your MIL with these recycled cookies?

When my MIL makes a big pot of curry

I will be having curry for the next few weeks.

Wife and kids will complain jelat and it will be all on me to finish all by myself.

So I am used to finishing off Christmas cake and turkey for the next few week,

CNY goodies for the next few weeks.

Moon cakes after moon cake season for the next few weeks etc

Funny that when it come to ice cream they kids never ask me to help them at all.

Sometimes the whole tub is gone before I can even start helping.

Same with chips and keropok, chocolate, marshmellow, muruku, pistachios, cashews etc etc

Make a bit niah, no one coming over this year, peaceful and no stress also. Used to cook a lot for all my old kakies and family. Even my acher acher no need to make so many bottles, honestly I feel empty, than again, I have more time to rest also. Stay home, watch movies, go for night swims, gym. Peaceful. Oh! Play mahjong also.

Stay home relax best cause even you go out walk walk sure super crowded, since whole sg people would be stuck here.

Next holiday not say too long, only about 1 month plus later in apr. 😂

This brand. 

The funny thing is while SS is selling at $5.95 all year round, NTUC and other supermarket as well as online store are retailing at >$6 to $8+/-
