gwen : regarding cut cake, think individual, my # 1 birthday usually fall ard CNY, so he will cut cake at least 3x, he has 1 cutting in reunion dinner with my family another cutting in reunion dinner in HB family & oso another in school.
EMQ : if hosting dinner @ ur house, i oso think steamboat is the easier. But if eating out, u have to act fast as most of the resturant r mostly fully booked. I have hard searching for mine too but finally found one.

Gwen: If I'm not wrong, cutting cake is = to celebrating a birthday (a year older), so I think to the old folks, cutting cake twice is like getting 2 years older?
But I think there were a few years when my #1 had 2 or even 3 cakes. Last year, when #2 celebrated her 2nd birthday, I think she had 2 cakes too - 1 small lil brownie at the resturant where we had lunch & another at home at her party.
But when we celebrate on the Lunar date, we do not buy a cake la. Usually mee sua & red eggs lol.

Ultraman: Hosting at home.
I hate those dinners outside, feel so commercialised, machiam conveyor belt in a factory. So noisy, cannot linger & chat (defeats the whole purpose of reunion!).
I used to dread going for reunion dinners with my ILs. In my 10 years of marriage, think I've only had reunion dinner at my PIL's place once! All others (eaten with them) were at restuarants. I so hate that ordeal. I feel that there is no warmth in the whole experience. In order to maximise profits, resturants force you to dine at certain seating, then must start & end at fixed timing, they do not let you linger, food is served like in those 7th month dinners (fast & quick).. sorry, I hate that kind of dinners. No offence meant for families who prefer that.
Not that I'm bias, but I love my mum's reunion dinners. She'd take the trouble to plan real traditional treats, everything she serves has a special meaning, & she painstakingly self-prepares most of the items lor. & best part I enjoy is - it is always at home (although getting cramped with 9 children (& spouses), 7 grands & 3 maids & my mum's bro who always join us. We can take our own sweet time to eat, make all the noise we want, chat & catch up. We really get to bond over the meal & enjoy each others' company after that.
Then the practice of issuing ang pows after the dinner, followed by watching TV, then preparing for prayers (my parents are taoists), then the kids will play with the sparklers.
Definitely much more warm than those restuarant dinners.

Gelato/ Laugh: Thanks for your suggestions. I've recorded them in my iphone. That will kick start my planning. Kekeke...
Yes, having steamboat. Then thinking must have some ready cooked food for the lil ones who may not be able to sit & wait.
We are having it on Fri to accomodate my 2 SILs (since they'd need to eat with their HB's family - it'd also mean we can join my mum on the eve, yipee!)

precious: thanks thanks! ya, i am on leave today to celebrate kyan lunar bday! wahaha
mercsboy : Thanks for asking... i m still sick, but at least i can rest my throat today.. was shouting at my xiao bao bei yestd... hehe... he's oso not well, then keep running to the kitchen to play water... alamak... in the end i take cane, he got angry, cry & cry... then after crying, came & hugged me... i dunno want to laugh or cry... haha...
EmQ : If your maid can cook, can prepare some fried bee hoon or tang hoon stuffs, with some finger food... so that the kids hv sth to eat b4 the steamboat starts... otherwise, can order stuffs like KFC... but the qty must be small, else defeat the purpose of steamboat. =) now that i m typing this, i m imagining how will our reunion turn out this year... hehe...
My gal had 3 birthday cakes on her 6th b'day too. 1 for her Church Kindy celebration, 1 for PCF Kindy celebration & 1 more at home! hehehe..

gelato: Take care yeah. I also battled with sore throat the whole of last week. Then now it's a throaty cough with phlegm. But certainly better. Weekdays I try hard to tong, so I dun miss work. Then weekends, I try harder to tong, so I dun mess up the kids/family schedule... so cham manz...
My maid can cook normal stuffs only, I hope the reunion dinner can be with more traditional, meaningful stuffs. Kekeke.. thank God my FIL is another fantastic cook. I will most likely plan everything, then leave the cooking to him & maid... kekeke..
I'm sure your reunion dinner will be a happy family time. It would definitely be fun to have all 3 kiddos at the reunion table, now that #3 can start eating some things. I'm looking forward to that too!
*the other day, my neighbour's 3 kids were at my place & my MIL commented, imagine u have 5 kids, we'd faint... but I was thinking to myself, imgaine I have 5 kids, I'd so love the joy of watching the kids play lor... I honestly wouldn't mind... well, but I guess that's my MIL's hint that she has enough of grands... hahaha...*

EmQ : Thanks. I know what you mean, we're in the same predicament. haha...
As for the menu, i dunno what's traditional, but can share with you, what my MIL normally cook... braised chicken with tang hoon, pig's stomach soup, curry chicken, wu xiang, steamed fish, fried prawns with the flour coating (dunno what's the name of this dish)... hmmm what else? i think can include fat choy - the vegs that look like black hair...

EmQ: The traditional food are usually these stuffs. But please note these items are usually use it for the Chinese prayers also.
1) Friend Tang Hoon
2) White chicken. (don't how is it called. But it is the white type not the fried type)
3) Abalone
4) The hair thingy with cabbage. I think they called it don't know what choy...
5) Deep fried Wu Xiang.
6) Roast Pork
7) Steamed Sea bass or that CNY fish
8) Black fungus with something else that I can't remember.
9) If you are a hakka, there will be the Hakka yam coins.
10) Peppery pig stomach soup
11) scallop with asparagus (I can't remember if this is part of the CNY dish)
I think that's about all.

ann01jan: let me know if you have not gotten the contact from mercs.
it's really fast and easy, just have to get down to do it. I also waited for so long. everytime relatives with kids come to my house, they will close my windows! so finally done. the fixing of grilles only took 1 plus hour. good and efficient.
u can try the bulk discount lah. but the price is very cheap already.

gelato & Ultraman: Thanks for more sharing on the dishes...

EmQ: so you guys are eating at home i guess. For my case, MIL will cook as my FIL will return from HK. My mother will also cook too. Now I'm thinking whether i should cook also for just 3 of us. Maybe steam another purée for M and this is his food for the reunion dinner. Lol

gelato: thank thanks! just had a fun and fufilling day off with kyan on his lunar bday! went for CNY Photoshoot, den taka shopping, with kyan's gf! haha
Ultraman: Yup, if I host, it has gotta be at home ba... I hate the idea of eating out for reunion dinners lol...
Come to think of it, I will need to go & buy more bowls, plates & cutleries. I've been living with a set for 6 since we got married. Back then, we were certain we do not want to live with his parents... & we dun think we would have more than 4 kids... kekeke... well, guess things changes...
Nice! but if both your mum & MIL will cook, where will you guys go? Or would that be over different days?
When there were 3 of us, I find it too 'lonely' for reunion dinner. Then it became 5 (including maid) but we couldn't manage on our own. & now, it's a real crowd, big enough for reunion dinner.

Hi mommies n daddy, thanks for the enlightenment. though my mom has told us not to get another cake for bb actual day, but we still go ahead with the idea but its an ice cream cake instead. she kinda fine with it cos bb did not get to taste the cake earlier when hb said chocolate cake too heaty. this time we got a strawberry flavour and bb kinda liked the cold feeling. haha..
only shame thing was both hb n i did not manage to take leave today (bb bday) cos too many pple on leave this week. sigh.. the least we did was taking him out for dinner.

Good Morning... the sky is sooooo dark....looks like it's going to rain...
EmQ : Take pride in what you're doing! 能者多劳！hehe... My MIL got no chance to pass the baton to her DIL cos her DIL (yours truly) cannot cook, & dunno how to entertain... The only help i gave was to wash the dishes... nowadays it's the maid's job liao... haha... hopefully my BIL find her another DIL that fulfils her wishes.. =D
ni : where did you all go for the photoshoot? must make bookings in advance? i saw chere's & sperzz's pics in FB... very cute!
Gwen : birthday or no birthday doesn't really matter to bb at this stage, i guess... don't feel bad, the consistent bonding is more important. =D
