📷#TheDiaryGame 20220131 #BetterLife Reunion "dinner" | 团圆饭😎(by @ace108)

 
Yesterday was Chinese New Year eve. It is customary for families to gather together and have dinner together. Nowadays, it's not necessary dinner because of various reason and may not be on the eve. My wife and I were working for half a day from home. Then we went to the restaurant at Lorong 8 Toa Payoh to pick up the food she ordered.

昨天是除夕。 很多家庭会聚在一起吃饭。 如今，由于种种原因，也不一定是晚餐，也可能不在除夕夜夜。 我和太太在家工作了半天。 然后我们去大巴窑8巷的餐厅取她订购的食物。

🎶Meanwhile, some music for you to enjoy as you read. This piece is part of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, particularly the first of the 4 violin concertos, called Spring.

🎶让大家继续读的时候，欣赏一点音乐。这件作品是维瓦尔第的“四季”的一部分 - 4小提琴协奏曲中的第一首，名为“春天”。

The stalls in the nearby food centres were closed but I could see a few people inside.

附近熟食中心的摊位已关闭，但我可以看到里面有几个人。

My wife bought the set meal for $268. Food for new year eve is always a rip off.

太太买到是268元的套餐。 除夕夜的食物总是有点敲诈。

We bought the food back to her parents' home.

我们把食物买回她父母家。

braised duck

卤鸭

kai lan with cured meat

腊味芥兰

sesame sauce with prawns

芝麻虾球

steam cod fish with black garlic

豉油黑蒜蒸鳕鱼

Of course we started with the yusheng. The food was mostly OK but I don't really like the duck though the way it was cook was nice.

当然是先捞鱼生啦。食物大部分都还可以，但我不太喜欢鸭，尽管它的烹饪方式还算有味。
