Reunion Dinner and Chinese New Year 2008 @ Busan, South Korea

Reunion dinner is an important part of Chinese New Year – that’s what I was taught and grew up with. Important mainly because it is a time when all family members gather at the dinner table to have a meal together. It is a pity that I can’t be with my families at this time of the year. I am sure the boys will enjoy the festive mood and goodies. Anyhow, Malaysians here decided to carry on the tradition and have our little reunion dinner with friends here in Busan, South Korea.
We had steamboat at home. We invited Kathrin and Stephanie (they are from Germany) to join us for the dinner as well. All of us absolutely love the food and the cooking part. We had so much food and laughter.

Here is the compilation of our reunion dinner’s food! Wow, we had prepared a lot of food. As predicted, we could not manage to finish them. Never mind then, all the shops here was closed for 3-4 days, after New Year celebration still can eat right?Hoh? Buffet and steamboat were held at our own dormitory kitchen. Starting from 3pm, we were divided into 2 groups, 1 group (hunting food in Tesco team) and 1 group (frying team). I am in Frying team.

The most challenging part..
