In a super traditional Chinese household like ours, we celebrate Chinese New Year seriously. We take "food abundance" seriously.
Every year, I slave the kitchen by cooking various dishes - Noodles of course must be included for Long Life, sticky Tikoy is also a must or in our case, we prefer Oyster Cake which is sticky as well! Various forms of meat from Fish, Beef, Pork and Chicken must also be on the table to represent a fruitful and healthy year for the family!
As years go by and I'm obviously not getting younger but gets busier, Mr. AMW advised me to go for take away! We would usually be stuck in traffic or have a hard time looking for parking space especially since most of our favorite Chinese restaurants are located in crowded places!
Can you just imagine how crowded it is in Chinese restaurants and Chinese supplies stores on CNY eve?
Thankfully, this momma has a solution! As I was browsing through my favorite online shopping app called HONESTBEE, I recently saw a category I really like --- "We Will We Will WOK YOU!"
Click on it and you'll find list of Chinese restaurants you may order from (location close to the address you input for delivery). I was so excited I gave it a test run!
TIP: Best of all, you can advance order by choosing "Order for Later" option!
What are your Chinese food cravings?
Dumplings? You can pick DECs, Wai Ying, Shi Lin and Bai Niang.
If you like steamed fish (make sure to note for a complete head and tail of the fish for prosperity), order from Lugang Cafe, Tuan Tuan and Wang Fu.
Then there are food that depicts gold bars for wealth and fortune, try Spring Rolls from Bain Niang Tang Bao.
And of course, if like me, you're a fan of noodles, go for Ling Nam, Ersao and even President Grand Palace were I had my food spread ordered from!
And if you are like us who displays fruits on the dining table for fullness and wealth, you may order round fruits like Oranges, Pomelo or Kiat Kiat from S&R, Farmers Market, Isetann and Ultramega Supermarket.
Honestbee is really a gift from above! I have been using this service a lot for both groceries, food and even "trinkets" order. If like me, you want to celebrate Year of the Pig with ease, download the honestbee app for free on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and sign up for an
