Pig Year

yu shang lo hei! so singaporean and so delicious!









london's favourite lobster noodle and boy did we taste a delicious one in Gold Mine down at Bayswater;








Steamed sea bass - nice and fresh; nian nian you yu!









crispy chicken layered with prawn paste; who kyoh kwei?










deep fried eel in garlic and chilli - every sort of fish in the year of the fire pig - we're going to have abundance in abundance! here's hoping my waistline doesn't suffer for it.






the cast assembled at the very last minute - and seeing how the table was left once this lot was done with the day's offerings, i'm optimistically hopeful everyone enjoyed themselves!






the remains:


heads and tails, a finish to what we have started, a complete cycle, a closure, consistency of narrative - all good, including the fish!






it's good to be this messy at new year - abundance and excess guaranteed!
