Happy 牛 Year!

Happy New Year Guys! Its the year of the Ox, and for the second year in a row I spent my Lunar New Year in Taiwan. This time my good friend Susan welcomed me to her family's home for some spectacular and bountiful home cooking.  Where do I start... I will let all my pictures do the talking this time.

The evening's dinner gets prepared. The first dish of the night  was a stew with shark fin, vegetables, chicken -- as the story goes this dish is so delicious that the Buddha jumped a wall to come and eat it.

Homemade beef stew in carrots, and some vegetables and rice.

It's a croissant baked into a cookie! And red bean mochi with a fresh strawberry inside. Shoot me I am in heaven.
