chinese new year dinner! homemade lo bak go (this was a heroic effort that took me six hours from start to finish, would not do more than once a year but was so worth it for this occasion), nien go that i brought from HK on my last trip there.
not pictured here are steamed egg (good but a little under-set, i haven't figured out the timings on my current stove yet) and some napa cooked with lap cheong in daikon soup, also fancy looseleaf oolong that i made in my grandma's teapot. very successful i think
#my coworker brought in clementines so i got that too. big win#the lo bak go was a journey of consulting the ancestors and stressing over which ha mai i ought to buy#i kept calling my mom to ask which of the photos i'd just sent her was the best one#miso.soup#soup moment#food#chinese new year#miso.cooking
