Last year we had the dinner (

This year we also had 2 adults guests as well, the difference is that they are family.    And we also have a 3rd guest in a 3 yr old granddaughter.    The CNY dinner is actually a reunion dinner and usually celebrated on the CNY's eve, when family members gathered together.  Tonight's dinner is indeed a reunion dinner, even though it is not celebrated on the CNY's eve.
As usual, the traditional Hakka yong tau foo (stuffed bean curd).  I deep fried the stuffed bean curd, then braised them with Chinese mushrooms.

Some of the following dishes were only thought of when I was preparing the ingredients.

| Stir fried Chinese chives with eggs | 
  | 
| Stir fried snow peas with carrots and minced pork | 
  | 
| Stir fried prawns with celery | 
  | 
| Sweet and sour fish | 
We love blanced bok choy.   So this is a must, even though it is the simpliest dish
