I love this tradition of tossing the prosperity salad! I love watching everyone getting their chopsticks in and the vegetables getting progressively jumbled. It tastes great too, of course.

Mum cooked some fantastic food and we were able to invite the guys from work to join us. Apart from the salad, there was loh bak, fish balls, roast pork ribs, duck stuffed with glutinous rice, noodles, fried rice, steamed chicken.

Enjoy the photos and best wishes for a prosperous new year!

    Wow I am so jealous. That looks delicious. I went to a Chinese restaurant here the other day, and it just wasn’t Chinese. In fact, it wasn’t good food (to give you an idea of how bad it was, they used frozen veges in all the dishes). I have a really bad case of ‘delicious food envy’ (i’m turning GREEN!)
