Food And Red Envelopes

Every January/February, the relatives blow into town from overseas and we meet up for Chinese New Year dinner. As there is a lack of any good Chinese restaurants in Southern California, we tend to go to East Gourmet Seafood Restaurant for every occasion.



This was part of the spread from this year's feast. I am very partial to "spicy salt and pepper pork chops" (I'm not quite sure what they're called in English) and lettuce wraps, so I was pleased to see they landed on the table. We started off the meal with Peking duck <3 and ended it with red bean dessert. All in all, it was nice to see my family. The red envelopes were nice, too. I was reluctant to go since I had to DVR the Pro-Bowl, but in the end I'm glad I hoofed it out to Rosemead to dine and catch up.

I'm aware that Chinese New Year isn't until February 3 this year, but gung hay fat choy in advance.
