Thee Kong prayer is one of the most important prayer for Hokkien people like my family during Chinese New Year. The prayer will start on the night of the 8th day of Chinese New Year. As usual, my parent will be very busy preparing all the foods to be ready before the night.
Miku, Ang ku, fish, prawn, crab, fruits, sugar cane is a must for the prayer for my family. And definately one thing not to be missed by my family is...
full size roasted pig.. haha.. (sorry non-halal)... During that time most of us will start dripping our saliva seeing that crispy skin of the pig.
Take a look of those crispy skin.. believe me.. it taste good.. really good..
During the night, the table will be ready with lots of foods.
Everybody in the family will work together to ensure everything is properly prepare before the prayer. My parent especially my dad are very particular about Thee Kong prayer.
Yummy!!! Table full with foods...
Playing with my camera to create that effect. hehe!

After the prayer, all of us will start to arrange the joss paper with the shape like crown.
Chinese New Year will never be complete without fire crackers. As usual, my dad will be the ones who officially light up the fire crackers.
Even on first and second day of CNY also not happening compare to Thee Kong Prayer. Maybe because the place we stayed have lots of Hokkien lang. Hehe!
Haha! Red Red! Huat ah!! Huat ah!!
The prayer will be end by burning the joss paper. But it is not the end for us. As for us, the night is still young. Haha! By that time we finish the prayer, we will take out our last fire-crackers.
