Of piglets and she-male

So. Chinese new year is finally here!

Chinese New Year reunion dinner went as normal, seeing aunts and uncles and cousins (from my dad's side) I haven't seen since grandma's birthday.
(We gather 2 times in a year. CNY Reunion, and Grandmother's birthday.)

The camera was with me during the night, so I took a few snapshots of the night.

The food was okay, but it was made unappetizing by this she-male who sing and dance during the dinner.

 

The restaurant was crowded with people, and according to my aunt, even when we reserved the place 6 months in advance, we still can't get the private room.

The food wasn't good. My uncle claimed that it tasted like the food that is given to the elderly (those without teeth). And it was overpriced. Combined with the singing and dancing and performance on stage, it is as if we're attending a typical Chinese weddings with old uncles and amas singing on stage. Only that it's with complete strangers, and also minus the yumsengs.

The only food that was tad okay is this.

piglet, and entertainment of my cousin devouring the head.

We had 'Sharkfin' soup, and my aunt came over to our table and told me, with a serious face, there's real sharkfin in it, knowing I was against brutal killings. I was horrified, staring at the half gone bowl of soup I had in front of me.


And then she started laughing.

Dad was telling all the other uncles and aunts: SHE GREEN PEACE ONE.


Bad food, memories were good though. Horrifying she-male made the night even more unforgettable.
