In the name of Chinese New Year ...
Folks back home are most probably overwhelmed by Chinese New Year (CNY) preparation/celebration by now. As for me? Hmmm, let's see ... except the chinese groceries stores are displaying some CNY related products （年货） like CNY-candies, red packets, gift-baskets/hampers (which is very different from Malaysians' product in terms of packaging and products included in the baskets), we can almost forget the fact that CNY is around the corner. As a matter of fact, I wasn't aware of CNY until last weekend.
Anyhow, life goes on. After so many years, we're pretty used to the fact that we are not celebrating as much Chinese festive seasons when we're in overseas. Sounds pathetic? Nah, don't worry, we are alright.
Nevertheless, I will still try to get some CNY related products, in the name of celebrating CNY ...
Zhangzhou Mandarin Oranges （漳州芦柑）. It tastes like it, looks like it ...
Very sweet, seedless ...
I am not sure whether are they the same thing, that is Clementine=Zhangzhou Mandarin Oranges? But I have read somewhere that clementine is the result of a cross between traditional mandarin oranges with sweet oranges ... Sounds like it is.
BakGwa (肉干）[Dried and processed meat]. Such product is a common item especially during CNY in Malaysia and Singapore. Many people normally will buy a few boxes of these as gifts to give each other.
Such small box of product for USD8. Well, it tastes alright, but it is so hard to chew! Yeah, I know, better than nothing ...
I found no CNY cookies, so I bought a box of this instead.Here goes, some stuffs to elevate the CNY spirit in my household.
For folks in Malaysia, I hope you have a wonderful CNY celebration, and a prosperous year ahead.
Happy Chinese New Year, and Gong Xi Fa Cai!
With love,

Wo Lai Yeh also came up with similar bak kwa. It seems it is made of lean meat and not processed like the usual bak kwa which is laden with lard and sugar. Tempted to make some as my FIL knows how but then again...too much work. Easier to buy ler..

Hey.
A bank is a financial institution that accepts deposits and channels those deposits into lending activities. Banks primarily provide financial services to customers while enriching investors. Government restrictions on financial activities by banks vary over time and location. Bank are important players in financial markets and offer services such as investment funds and loans. In some countries such as Germany, bank have historically owned major stakes in industrial corporations while in other countries such as the United States banks are prohibited from owning non-financial companies. In Japan, banks are usually the nexus of a cross-share holding entity known as the keiretsu. In France, bancassurance is prevalent, as most banks offer insurance services (and now real estate services) to their clients.
The level of government regulation of the banking industry varies widely, with countries such as Iceland, having relatively light regulation of the banking sector, and countries such as China having a wide variety of regulations but no systematic process that can be followed typical of a communist system.[url=http://projectcontrol.v3host.nl]CLICK HERE[/url]
