CNY 2013 Down Under

CNY this year was a bit different, with my family taking a trip to Adelaide instead of staying here for the festivities. Like every good Asian family, each day was surrounded with good food starting from the eve of CNY at my cousin's place. 

The cousins put together an amazing cheese platter to tide us over while waiting for dinner.

 Fresh oysters : )

We had fried whitebait - great with beer

Snapper fish head with Thai curry, waiting to go on the bbq
 

Swordfish being marinated

Snapper waiting to go on the grill

Smoked trout

Sashimi sliced by another cousin - this was tuna

 Another type of white fish but had no idea what it was

Can't have CNY without yusheng

They also had leftovers from Hahndorf - pork knuckle and sausages

 King crabs on the bbq

One of the curry snapper heads done, and ready to be eaten. This was amazing - the head cost only $2, and was extremely fresh

Oh the crabs were absolutely wonderful after being barbecued. A hot favourite.

The next day, we headed down to the beach
 

Again, there was plenty of food

A deconstructed caprese with smoked salmon and prosciutto

Outside, the men were at it with the bbq with meat and seafood

Sausages ready to go

Chicken kebabs waiting to go on the grill

Squid tentacles all done - these were really nice

 Steaks all nicely charred on the outside

 Chef at work

Squid, Swordfish, Sausages

 The entire spread

The cousin also made lambs brains fried with some crumbs...didn't touch this

Drinks to go with our food

That trout from the night before all mashed up with sour cream and capers - absolutely delicious

Chicken kebabs all done

One of the most interesting CNYs ever : )
