Happy Chinese New Year everyone!!! Did all of you have a Happy Chinese New Year regardless of your race? One thing I like about Chinese New Year is all the Red Packets that I can get when visiting $.$ so as you should know I am a Chinese. One of the Chinese traditions is to have a reunion dinner with your relatives at home, at a restaurant or some place simple on the Eve of Chinese New Year. Above are some pictures of the must have dish during the reunion dinner, Yu Sheng. At any eating place, the shop should be selling the Yu Sheng during Chinese New Year. The Yu Sheng is usually the 1st dish to be eaten then followed by 7-9 dishes as it is believed to be auspicious. The shop worker will add certain ingredients and 4 worded Chinese phrases which are of special meaning. Then the families who are eating will use chopsticks to mix the noodles, crackers, edible raw fish and other ingredients together. On the very day of Chinese New Year, one family will eat together. I usually eat a steamboat meal for Chinese New Year. How about you? How do you celebrate Chinese New Year?
