So not only is it Valentine’s Day (Happy Valentine’s Day lovelies), but it’s the start of Lunar New Year as well (evident everywhere you go in Singapore right now and celebrated with national holidays on Monday and Tuesday, woo hoo!).
We were warned by our real estate agent that many businesses would be closed this weekend as well. Traditionally, people celebrate New Year’s eve and New Year’s Day with their families and bring gifts of oranges, chocolates, or other cakes as gifts. They may also feast on goodies such as duck, sticky rice cake, chicken, oranges, and perhaps dumplings (many foods that symbolize prosperity).
Homemade dumplings are ridiculously good. My friend made them at our place (tutorial here!) for two separate parties and they were the hit both times. I like to use Anita Lo’s dumpling tutorials as a guide as well.
Happy Valentine’s and Lunar New Year! 🙂
OMG. Are you going to Sao Paulo? That is awesome.
I have family over there, but were planning either Curitiba (south) or Salvador (northeast) for the celebration.
Happy Valentine’s Day !!! And Happy Lunar New Year.
