Chinese New Year Reunion - Pen Cai Miniature Sheet
Chinese New Year, also known as the Lunar New Year, is the most important traditional festival for the Chinese. The celebration lasts for 15 days and it is a great time for family reunions, visiting, feasting and collecting red packets (hongbao) for good fortune. One of the favourite get-togethers during the Chinese New Year is when families and friends celebrate by partaking in reunion feasts. The dish “pen cai” is a popular celebratory dish (comprising layers of ‘auspicious’ ingredients such as abalone, prawns, roast pork, and lotus root) during these get-togethers. As the old saying goes,“the family that eats together, stays together”. The annual reunion feasting is indeed significant and symbolic, and reaffirms love and togetherness with one another.
