Time to give dowry

We have to distribute all the invite cards & necessary items to all our relatives tomorrow. It is going to be a long day boy!
Few of the most important items (Betrothal gifts 娉礼) for to present to a TeoChew bride's parent are as below:

- Hard liquor & Red packet.
The latter has to be exceptionally big (for more cash)! So cute...

- Teo Chew biscuits (1 for each family relative of the bride).
My dad told me the Teochew biscuit is "abt $6 per box, verrrry cheap", it turned out to be $18-20 each! We got the $20 ones because they look more presentable.
See how packed the rear of his car is with all 16 boxes!! And oh... we get to loan the traditional baskets for free!!


- Oranges
I think it is supposed to be distributed to relatives together with the biscuits.

- Canned Pig Trotter
We encountered a problem, the favorite canned pig trotter has recently been banned from China & it can no longer be found in Singapore! We've combed NTUC & Shengsiong and really can't find any.
