Chinese New Year 2014.
It is finally here! HAPPY CHINESE NEW HORSE YEAR everyone!! KIONG HEE KIONG HEE!!
It is officially a new year, which only means one thing… FEASTING is a must. It is impossible to celebrate a Chinese New Year without at least one episode of a food coma. An abundance of mouth watering dishes will be on display for family members and guests to dig in and show off their true nature. That we all are pigs. Sometimes, some families would even do an open house, sharing their wealth of food supply to those who would like to join in on the celebration.
Just so that no one would feel left out in the know-how on what to eat and how to eat like a true chinese, here is a food guide that a friend kindly shared with me…
It is imperative to always remember that there are many more delicacies than just what mentioned above. Savory dishes are awesome, BUT DO NOT forget that there are also plenty of sweet treats to sample, including the towers of mandarin and tangerine oranges to be on display at every table.
Now that we already covered the business of eating, I would like to wish everyone a jolly good day, preferably one filled with endless amount of laughter and games of mahjong. And so, let the ANG-PAO (red envelope) counting begins!
