First time celebrating Chinese New Year away from family with mid-term exam the following week!!!
Around 20-30 Chinese in IUJ from China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, US, Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam and others, came together to have reunion dinner in SD1 lounge.
Charles from Taiwan, me from Malaysia & Chin Yung from Taiwan/HongKong/Singapore. I just forgot that I was not supposed to wear black.
Each of us came with our own country's dish. 30 of us came up with 25 dishes
I made the famous Malaysian Bak Kut Teh. Just put in pork, garlic, some mushroom & boil with the essence and it's ready in 30 mins.
We have snacks, mandarin oranges, beer & soft drinks, just like what we have back in Malaysia.
One thing that I learned is that in China, making dumpling is a tradition. And the dumpling is made after the dinner, where everyone is supposed to help roll the flour into thin dumpling skin, put in some meat & wrap it.
This is how we make the dumpling's ingredient before the party started.
Of course, everyone helped and tried even non-chinese. Many were first timer.
And we found a way to punish those who wore black.
