Traditionally, the Chinese New Year’s Eve dinner is the MOST important dinner in the
entire year. It is the time that a family got together for dinner to say goodbye to one year and welcome a new one collectively.
Living abroad for a long time I was not planning to do anything special tonight. It just happened (by the God’s grace) that a friend from an evening course suggested a group dinner at her flat tonight as this week is a half-term in the U.K. To top it off, there were 8 people at the table. 8 being a lucky number representing prosperity, I think we are heading off to a great start :>
