came back late from a friend's bbq - yet more stuffing face as part of CNY celebrations :p Looks like this really is the festival of feasting and anyone remotely contemplating losing some weight, flab, a-little-extra-on-the-side can quite clearly forget it.. : p how to when there is so much good, cholesterol-laden and seasonal/festive food around, so many obligations to fulfill and so much available time?? Yummy gourmet bbq - we had barbecued seafood (a delicious assortment including stingray, crayfish, prawns, cod, squid), chicken wings, sausages, beehoon, three different types of salad, sangria (yum!) and even yam paste dessert at the end.. as usual too much food but yummy... :)

had my second CNY loh-hei (raw fish salad) toss today with boss and colleagues at Mitzi's Cantonese Restaurant at Murray Terrace near Maxwell Market - boss' favourite restaurant. I love loh-heis.. they are so much fun and communal, gives you the pseudo-feel of someone proudly performing an important traditional ritual, and if done properly (i.e. not too dry and the sauce is just right), actually taste quite good - especially with the crispy bits.. yum..yum...

definitely putting on some flab... those new year goodies are vicious...
