Taiwan – Hsin-chu; Wei Ya dinner 2014

In Taiwan, many companies will organize a Wei Ya; a traditional annual celebration for Tu Di Gong (the earth god, also known as Fude Zhengshen, the god of wealth and merit) on the 16th of the 12th lunar month in Chinese society where they treat their employees to a banquet as thanks for their hard work throughout the year.

My company also had this celebration a few weeks before the Lunar New Year when I was there in Taiwan for a business trip. (sorry for the late posting.. haha after the lunar new year)

The menu for the dinner; a 11 course dinner.

BBQ Combination Platter

Deep fried shrimp cakes

Braised mushroom with vegetables

Stewed scallop soup with seafood

Steamed fresh fish with green onions

Deep fried pork spare ribs with orange sauce and sweet potato

Stewed chicken soup with Chinese herbs and yam

Steamed glutinous rice with BBQ meat

Overall the dishes was nice that followed with games that was organized by my colleagues in Taiwan which we had fun playing.

Crispy Roast Pork for breakfast ….

Today I had the crispy roast pork at my favorite Hong Kong Style stall that serves roast duck and chicken, BBQ pork and not forgetting roast pork. Yum yum!!

Look at those yummy roast ducks and roast pork hug at the panel.

My order of crispy roast pork which comes with oily rice.

Damage: rm3.50
Return: definitely a yes yes.

Dishes in a Chinese Restaurant

It was one of the weekends before Christmas that my family and my sis’s family went out for dinner as our house kitchen was close on weekends. LOL!!

We went to one of those Chinese family restaurant which was non air-conditioned and you could see the family members helping out in running the business; waitress, cashier and cook’s helper.

The crowd in the restaurant was dressing very casual and nothing fancy as it mostly filled with families with young children and along with their elderly eating. More of a family affair.

So what did we ordered for our table?

Foo Yong Tan – fried eggs with mixture of onions, sweet pork and sliced of chillies

This was the recommend by them; grilled pork BBQ Korean style. Guess they were promoting as it is a new dish in their menu.

Simple fried vegetables with garlic.

Vegetarian curry. This is nice. Not too spicy.

Grilled chicken.

It is nice meal. Simple and tasty. 😊
