Happy Father's Day

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Pre Chinese New Year in Sg -1

The strongest atmosphere place in Singapore is the China Town. But the way they celebrate is a bit difference than from HKG..!

1. People in Singapore or even in Malaysia bring 2 mandarins along to visit people as a gift so as to bring 'Gold' (Pronunciation of mandarin is the same as gold in Chinese) times two as fortune to the host. The host return another 2 mandarins to the visitors when they leave for a return gift of fortune.
The result: 2 mandarins keep swapping from families to families.... and you don't have to bring extra gift for the host at all! (that's what i thought about the meaning ba..?!)

2. Dry meat(肉乾) selling: it's a big industry here, especially in Chinese new year..! People Q-up long for that because it is a famous new year food they serve for visitors (not in HKG for sure!). Very dry and salty, but they indeed has some sweeter one taste like honey ham. Indeed it looks very much like a bacon..!
