333

Like the past few years, I attended the CNY (Chinese New Year) dinner (8 course-meal and Yusheng) organised by the HePo (or HoPo) Wong Clan (河婆黄氏宗亲家族) yesterday at the Guilin Restaurant (桂林海鲜酒楼).

Yeah! This year is a lucky one since I won some supermarket shopping vouchers in the lucky draw (the auspicious number is 333). Fatt ah! (i.e. means prosper in wealth). :)

Simple CNY Lunch Affair

We had a simple CNY (Chinese New Year) lunch with my cousins and their kids today....








oops... forgot to take a pic of the soup! ;p

Fortune, Wealth & Prosperity

Chinese New Year (CNY) is here again.... today being the 2nd day of the "Rabbit" Year.

Do you know some Chinese like to hang a bundle of Chinese Leeks (da suan; 中国大蒜) together with a cabbage (bao cai; 包菜) in their house during CNY? According to them, they believe such arrangement of vegetables represents "sure count (money)" or "包算" and symbolises fortune, wealth and prosperity in the new year!

On behalf of the It Meows team, Dora would like to wish all Chinese a Happy and Prosperous New Year!
