Singapore - After 'spring cleaning' my home - we hurried over to my parents place for the Reunion Dinner. This is a yearly event held by every ethnic Chinese around the planet on the Eve of Chinese New Year where members of the family will return to their parents house for dinner.
To the Chinese this is the most important event in the Chinese New Year calendar to start the year in the right footing. The children and married sons will return to their parents house to enjoy the Reunion festivies. It is common to have 'Steam Boat' - ingredients are cooked in a simmering pot of broth (my mum had a mixture of pork, chicken and prawns - yummy). We had slices of pork, beef, chicken, pork liver, fish, prawns, tofu, vegetables, etoki mushrooms and rice.
My parents took the time to prepare this delicious reunion dinner....
