Wow, that is a lot of work and some (I say some because as you know I don't eat pork and some seafood, which I suspect are in the picture) looks very delicious. 
Making my hungry.

@changjiangzhibin89 I hope you are having a wonderful New Year. I talked to my husband about going to the Oriental restaurant this weekend to give our waitress a New Years/Birthday gift.

Oh that is a great 10 dish lauriat (lao-diat or renao) your wife prepared for you my friendvery special. We only get to eat this kind of feast in good Chinese restaurants. it's in a "lazy Susan" or Chinese style rotating table because there are so many dishes that the table has to be the one to turn so everybody sitting is comfortable, very nice my friend, you are very luck you have a wife like her

@changjiangzhibin89 there are plenty here but you have to choose the authentic ones, our family favorite is Toho, it's the oldest restaurant in the Philippines, my family has been eating there for generations, i know how to eat Chinese food even the uncommon ones like suckling pig, sea cucumber etc.. I also know how to use chopsticks so your wife's cooking made me hungry, that is already very expensive here

@louievill If my memory serves me well ,You have mentioned that you are partly of Chinese origin ,but I can't remember exactly when your forefather from China went to there .Suckling pig and sea cucumber seem to be Guangdong dish.

Oh wow , that was a lot of foods and your wife prepared them all ? So, what 's your participation in the food preparation ? 
By the way , what's that dish with black stuff on the right most side ? Is that mushroom ? They all look so delicious . I am actually salivating .
