Reunion Dinner

Blessed Lunar New Year to all.

The eve of the Lunar New Year is whereby the family comes together and have their dinner together. It's known as Reunion Dinner. Yu Sheng, a dish with lots of colored vegetables mainly green, red and white carrot, pamelo, crackers, groundnuts, raw fish (usually salmon) and plum sauce would be consumed. Everyone would crowd around the table with a pair of chopsticks and would stir the Yu Sheng. The higher you stir, the more wealth and prosperous one would get in the coming year. Thereafter, the ugly side. Table gets messy, ingredients of the Yu Sheng lying around.

I wanted to go down to Chinatown to take a walk and embrace the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year, but no one would accompany me. They're all afraid of crowds. So here i am, all alone at home.

Anyway, let's welcome the year of the rooster.

Cheers!
