Well, I like the banquet meal because you get to enjoy so many dishes that nobody really is going to take the time to make at home -- at least not in these hectic times. But I treasure a home-cooked Chinese New Year celebration because of all the love that goes into the food. It makes everything taste better and live on in your memories forever. I like both!

I have to say, I dined out twice but that's because my parents are on the other side of the globe! I agree that dining out is a pain on CNY but it's also a fabulous excuse to have the cold starter (LOVE jellyfish), roasted suckling pig, shark's fin (yes) and Peking Duck. I'm a big fat pig and not tigery at all. xx Happy Chinese New Year! I have to say, I dined out twice but that’s because my parents are on the other side of the globe!

If I cook those type of dishes for Chinese New Year, it will have negative feedback as people where I am in now tends to be extravagant on this occasion. It's normal to eat out at the restaurants during the eve of Chinese New Year at my place. People used to eat at home years ago when I was still a teen. I was the one to do some of the cooking but the food are not simple as it took me at least 24 hrs to prepare the marination process or do some slow stewing to maximize the flavor of the dish, which means lots of work put in Your mom’s Chinese New Year cooking is simple and health but looks very delicious.
