Naked on Chinese New Year!

This gigantic naked bull reminds me of kennysia.com’s obligatory Chinese New Year Greeting. In his short post, he said goodbye to the year of the rat ( or in exact he pronouced rat as hamster) & welcome the good new year of bullshit. 
My pardon to those who actually thought this was a post about a naked woman/man running naked on the Ox / Bull new year. It was a total bullshitting topic actually.

Alright, as most of the KL people is concern, this gigantic naked bull is placed in front of Pavilion’s main entrance. Pavilion’s management has generously invite everyone to touch the Golden Bull’s head & it was believed that by touching its head you will be blessed with good luck and prosperity this coming year. Thanks for pointing it out Dhiren. I wouldn’t have knew about this if not because Dhiren.

Dong Zhi Festival

Yesterday evening I had one joyful family reunion with my gf’s relative. A few (6 in exact) of us but huge portion of delicious food were served.

“Nan Lu” Fried Chicken Wings.

Japanese Tofu with Minced Pork & Salted Fish.

Asam Fish with Mix Vegetables.

This dish is unknown for me yet but the taste was fantastic!

Here’s a photo of the Jong’s family that I celebrated Dong Zhi Festival with. The food was speechlessly wonderful and I had a pleasant evening of family reunion!
A tiny thing that unites family tie

Dong Zhi is a time for family reunion. Tang Yuan, sweet soup of glutinous rice flour balls, is indispensable during this festival.

”Yuan” (literally meaning “round”) signifies ”yuan man” (complete ) and Tang Yuan means “tuan yuan” (family reunion ).

Eating Tang Yuan is symbolic of family unity and family prosperity.

For good luck, families prefer to have some pink tang yuan to mix with the white ones.

Dong Zhi is the thanksgiving of the Chinese calendar.
Dong Zhi” literally means “arrival of winter”. Coinciding with the winter solstice, it is an occasion for the family to get together to celebrate the good year they have had. Tang Yuan is cooked and eaten to symbolise unity and harmony within the family.
kelvinsse.com wishes you and all Chinese friends a Happy Dong Zhi Festival.
