Chinese New Year Celebration

Basically, Chinese New Year is quite an interesting celebration for me since I could get a lot of ang paus from my parents and relatives. Oh well, one thing very special about Chinese New Year in Malaysia is that we will play firecrackers during our New Year Eve. Anyway, Malaysia's Chinese New Year Celebration is all about visiting one another,eating and getting ang paus. That reminds me of Sarawak's kuih lapis that is sort of tasty! Hehe...

Let me then talk about food in Vietnam during this special day...In Vietnam, they are used to bursting firecrackers on this day. In Tet or Chinese New Year, they eat Banh Chung, a type of special cake, which symbolizes the Earth. They also have little white cakes known as Banh Day, which symbolizes the sky. These two cakes are wrapped in the banana leaves and boiled.

Regardless of how people from all around the wrld celebrate their Chinese New Year the most important thing is that, they celebrate it happily.
