On the second day of CNY, we were at the Yap clan family house again for lunch. Instead of vegetarian (which we had on day 1), we had a panoply of meaty dishes. It was a 11-course lunch, inclusive of pig's belly soup. Totally satisfying as every dish was delish and homecooked by talented chefs (hubby's aunts).
Dinner was at the Ipoh YMCA restaurant, which serves 5-star Chinese restaurant (halal) dishes.
Steamed chicken, abalone, braised mushrooms with pork belly:
Steamed promfret fish with Brand's chicken essence, braised turnip and an assortment of sausages and waxed meat.
Braised leek with roast pork, braised Hakka pork with black fungus and sauteed arrowroot with roast pork.
These are all my favorite dishes but I could eat no more than 2 pieces of each type of meat. I've always had a small appetite and always stop when I am 70% full. Thus my size and weight (44.3kg). Here's another tip on staying trim ~ reduce your food portion and stop eating when you are 70% full. You don't have to stuff yourself silly just because it's your favorite food. 😉
Back at my parents, the girls and I take every opportunity to carry and cuddle the twins, and this frees up Madonna (the twins' Pinoy super nanny) who has been working non-stop tending to the twins, who clings on to her like UHU glue. Cass finds it entertaining feeding baby Rayzen, her favorite baby in the whole wide world.
