Oh. Ok.

The Nonya brand I don't think it is spicy. Maybe my tolerance of spicy is high.

Nonya is just the brand for this hae bee Hiam roll, which is cheap and good. Available all year round at SS and other supermarke, I will buy when I crave for it, don't need to wait till CNY. 

The SS that I just visited does not have the promotion and they leave it in the carton box.

I've never really understood this bak kwa thingy

Whole year round can buy anywhere and bee chiang hiang stores quite empty. But come CNY, suddenly long queues form and prices jacked up. Not as if it's some seasonal fruit that only grows during this period....

 

Concur. People too free and too rich to queue.

I just took the above photos during lunch time, and not difficult to see that it's quality is better than Happy Family (SS house brand).

This nonya brand is lousy 

The skin is very thick. It's like eating cracker.

Yeah, every eat until sian also, you got a point, so this year I just fry koropok and that's it. Not worth driving down to get all this. Bak Kwa wait for people to give me.

This is still a Covid year and judging from current bak kua prices of $56/kg, it is going to cross $60/kg this year nearer CNY.

Where is the recession?  The good time rolls on.  Lol

I am going to skip BK this year, looking to buy cheap Australian lobsters and wine instead. Anyone got lobangs?

Yes, i was expecting prices to be more reasonable. Maybe price of frozen pork has went up during Covid? All the hoarding! 

Anyway, will buy less CNY goodies this year as we have no plan for any large scale CNY gathering.

In general this year, pai tan for all the CNY related business. Since I'm not visiting, I'm not even getting new clothes for myself or my wife. Kids still have cos i bought for them in mid 2020. 

Bak kwa my mother already bought some earlier. 
I'll cut hair. Give pineapple tarts to immediate family members. Then just eat some steamboat and lo hei with immediate family. 

My mum doesn't even want to go out makan for my dad's birthday which falls on 2nd day. Almost like a year with grandparent funerals.
