Did you know that the important dates of chinese new year all fall on a weekend this year? Fun! Well extra fun because we get to celebrate the days somewhat more properly than during the week.
Day 7 "everybody's birthday" was this Sunday so we had 'yee sung' at home... for those of you who don't know, it's a raw fish salad. Very yummy and tasty! Not only that, but it feels pretty healthy to be eating it.
Day 15 - the last day of CNY is also this coming Sunday so we get to celebrate the last day with yet another big meal.
If there's one thing I know for sure is that major celebrations/festivities/events are always linked with food. Food and culture are so well complimented, just imagine if you had to celebrate something that didn't have a dish associated with it?
I'm also looking forward to checking out the CNY festivities downtown. Wellington is holding their CNY celebrations on Saturday. Admittedly it is somewhat late being it at the end of the celebration period, but it had to make way for the Wellington Races on the first day plus the Rugby 7s last weekend. There's supposed to be a parade plus a chinese market so let's see what goes on! ...mmmm more foooood!!! ;)
