Just a week ago we celebrated Chinese New Year, welcoming the Year of the Ox. And like every other CNY, it's the perfect the opportunity for us to cook and eat a lot of good food and observe our cultural traditions. This year, Mama Lam made a Poon Choi / Pancai / Big Bowl Feast / 盤菜.
It's Chinese New Year (CNY) a couple of weeks ago, and us Chinese know how to celebrate -- eat, feast, and repeat. Of course, there are many regional Chinese New Year traditions throughout China, and being from HK, the HK tradition is what I'm most familiar with. On New Year's Eve I was invited to a feast with food expert Lee Man, and it just heightened my appreciation for my culture. Calling it a feast, obviously it was a multi-course dinner with an abundance of food. We are all about good meanings when it comes to choosing the dishes or even naming them for CNY. On Instagram I showed a glimpse of what that means with the CNY dinner made by Mama Lam this year. It's being realized here once again at Golden Paramount in Richmond.
Chinese New Year is Feb. 16, 2018 and it's the Year of the Dog. Need ideas to celebrate CNY this year? Here is a roundup for you.
Smoking cigars, off-roading, shooting, and bear wrestling are just some of the incredibly manly things I do. However, scotch drinker I'm not. When I was invited to a scotch tasting dinner by the good folks from The Macallan, I couldn't pass on the opportunity. How could I say no to James Bond's scotch of choice?
It has been a few years since we wanted to go to The Observatory on Grouse Mountain, but every time the menu just wasn't very interesting to us. Finally this year's menu seemed to have something for everyone so we booked it as part of our Chinese New Year celebration.
