Happy New Year (of the Rat) everybody! The biggest shoutout goes to Sooki, who was missing our traditional dinner for the first time … EVER. Also notably missing: Loid, Johan, Eugenie, and John.
Congee Village was a madhouse! A 3rd-trimester pregnant woman and two infants didn’t impress the hostess whatsoever, and we waited almost an hour past our reservation time. On a normal day, the table would’ve accomodated only 2/3rd of our group … but we squeezed in really tight (kids on laps) and made it work. The food was great though, as you can see in the hand-held video (no ‘Lazy Sue’ available for us).

The credit for keeping the tradition alive goes *entirely* to Sabine!
She remembered the date and organized the whole thing … and to top it all, she contributed the only Chinese member in our group! (Loid and Euge couldn’t make it). I only took the video and enjoyed dinner.
We missed you and Johan a lot, but be sure that many Tsing Tao’s were enjoyed on your behalf :-)
Now go have Chinese dinner as well …. can’t wait for your movie!
xoxo
