Budget blues

 Luckily pension came befote new year so i can stock up on chinese new year goodies like dried fish maw,mushrooms n bamboo fungus.gonna make a hakka poon choy or prosperity bowl and a yee sang or raw fish salad using smoked salmon n jellyfish.

Happy to get this Hong Kong braised mini abalone in truffle n oyster sauce to cook poon choy.the brand  hong kong sun city is my trusted seafood brand.u also bought one can from south africaand one from china.buying locally made chinese liver sausages is one third price of imported ones.also buy locally grown avocado is one third cheaper than imported ones.gonna bake my own cakes n cookies.gonna make turnip cakes with recipe of Liza Wang to gift relatives.so dried scallops and XO sauce gonna burn  a hole in wallet.

No big ticket items like smartphones,new clothes n shoes this year for us coz 





Food is so costly.
