Chinese New Year Dinner
Mum’s home-cooked Spicy Chicken with Caramelized Onions and stir-fry hairy gourd (Benincasa hispidavar.chieh-qua) or 毛瓜 in Mandarin. The matchsticks sized hairy gourd is cooked with minced pork and prawns to give it sweetness.
After dinner snack of Durians though I can’t remembered what varieties they belonged to. The king of fruits is creamy and sweet, just the way my mum like it.
Had to run an errand at Sun Plaza in the late afternoon so might as well buy back dinner. Mum is not hungry so I bought Vegetarian Rice takeaways from the food court for my sis and myself. Picked the usual dishes of mock sweet & sour pork, curry chicken & potato and assorted vegetables stir-fry for sis. Me, I chose crispy fried dumpling, mock rendang chicken and vegetables stir-fry. The staff even offered me a bowl of herbal vegetarian soup.
Mum asked me to settle my own dinner outside so I bought back McDonald’sHokkaido Salmon Feast (S$10.90). The set came with a Hokkaido Salmon Burger, medium Fries, Chocolate Pie and a regular Jasmine Green Tea drink.
If I had to choose between this seasonal Hokkaido Salmon Burger and the Filet-O-Fish, it will definitely be the former. The crispy panko-crusted patty made with Hokkaido salmon is topped with white cabbage, sliced onions and roasted sesame mayonnaise sandwiched between a black and white sesame seeds bun. This is an upgraded version of the classic Filet-O-Fish and a delish one.
For dessert, it is molten Chocolate Pie. The crispy warm pocket is filled with gooey lava of milk chocolate which is rich but not too sweet. When this item was first launched a few years ago in Singapore, it went out of stock in last than a couple of weeks.

Dinner is Fried Rice with Specially Marinated Pork Chop(招牌猪排蛋炒饭) from Feng Food(台湾味“丰”) at Northpoint City. To encourage more customers to buy home to eat, there is a 10% discount for all takeaway meals so this dinner cost S$11.05 instead of the usual S$12.30.
Dinner is from the Vegetarian stall in the recently opened food court in Sun Plaza. Here, you got mock sweet & sour pork, stir-fried gourd and a braised bean curd. The next box comes with preserved Chinese mustard (梅菜), stewed potato and mock curry chicken & potato.
Also from the same stall is this VegetarianRojak. I wondered what they substituted for the usual prawn paste used in making the sticky sauce here as this local snack tasted as good as the real McCoy.
