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 : )
