Chinese New Year Feast @ the Tham’s: 2012 edition
If there’s one good reason I would stick around the UK for Chinese New year as opposed to going back to KL, it would be to attend the awesome CNY party which T and his family put on at their home in Surrey. Year after year, T’s family, led by his dad, cook up a serious storm of Malaysian-Chinese food’s greatest hits, making for a CNY feast like no other. Here’s the highlight reel from yet another terrific party, capped off by the customary finale of fireworks and floating lanterns!
Mandarin oranges
Kerabu Salad with Chicken
Roast Duck
Malaysian Curry Chicken (yummeh-mummeh.)
The Full Monty! (from Left to Right: Roast Duck, Sauteed prawns, Braised Pork Ribs, Kerabu Salad, Curry Chicken)
T’s Mom’s gorgeous Coconut Cupcakes
Y’s Clementine Macarons (…mhhmm)
…the mark a rollickingly prosperous year ahead.
Lanterns away!
Thanks a million to T & family for having us over again. Keong Hee Huat Chye!!!

I think it’s some kind of twisted social conditioning but everytime I see a photo of a mandarin orange with stem and leaf still attached, my brain immediately thinks of Heston’s Dinner. And I’ve not even visiting…
Nice to see real fruit, actually.
😀
Kavey: Uncanny you mention it as I’m actually headed to Heston’s Dinner tmr night!
Out of curiosity, I wonder where they managed to find floating lanterns? I don’t think I’ve ever seen those in Penang!
Suyin: Actually have no idea where they got them from, but they seem to have a supply of them every year! Let me ask!
