Gong Xi Fa Cai

Today Friday 12.2.21 is CNY Day 1. Not doing any house visiting today. Just drop off some food for the elderlies, a hi bye quick stop with masks fully on.

Yesterday at 3.30 pm, I received this lovely cake.

It has a hand written note on it from the seller on behalf of my friend.

Gong Xi Fa Cai cake.

It is a mandarin orange chiffon cake by sinyeebaker on insta.  Very light and fluffy cake with real fruit mandarin oranges in the middle of the cake. The frosting is very light too. I wonder what it is made from.

Yesterday at 5 pm, we delivered this 6 liter chye vegetarian to the elderlies after he spent hours cooking it.

Plant based meals for this day, Friday 12.2.21 from www.pbhall.org

Meal B: vege sausages and sweet potatoes mash.

Meal A: potatoes cauliflower kurma curry, brown rice and cabbage.

Meal C: Chap Chye Curry which I ordered for Sunday 14.2.21
Meal D: M'sian Inspired Poke Bowl which is Nasi Ulam which I tried the previous Sunday.

  4. Gong Xi Fa Cai. Your cake looks yummy. I think it's a soft chiffon that uses fluffy Japanese styled cream. I have to ask my wife this.
