Today is the eve of the Chinese New Year which falls on Feb 10th this year (tomorrow!) and I’m so happy its finally here 😀 Chinese New Year or the Lunar New Year is a very big thing here in Asia and just as big here in Malaysia. For me, this is the one big festival of the year and I am quite set in many little traditions 😀 I’m already back home in my hometown by the time this post goes live, awaiting the big feast that is the Reunion dinner later today.
This year, I was terribly terribly busy at work in the lead up to the New Year and a lot of things were left undone. I managed to do a whirlwind clean of my house before I left (putting clutter into a room & shutting the door counts right? 😛 ), and although I did pick up a couple of new clothes, none were bright red this year. I did discover that one is maroon so it’ll have to do 🙂
At the last minute, I did manage to pick up some of my must-have Chinese New Year snacks so I wanted to share with you some of the stuff I indulge in every time at this time of year. Some traditional, some personal favourites but all scrumptious, I can assure you! 😀
