It's almost Chinese New Year, which means... reunion dinner!
The main highlight of the festive season is, of course, the annual reunion dinner, where the whole family gathers around a table filled with scrumptious dishes and enjoys sharing the food while catching up with each other. There is sure to be lots of laughter and interesting stories told, which keeps everyone up till late.
These reunion dinners also signify togetherness and the solidarity of the family since everyone from different states (or even countries!) gather the night before the Lunar New Year.
But, did you know that these reunion dinners come with some particular customs? Lai, let's have a look at our faves:
1. Traditional yee sang tossing is done by shouting lucky phrases
During the traditional yee sang toss, everyone will have to shout lucky phrases like 'huat ah', 'ong ah', while tossing the unique prosperity dish as high as possible to invite longevity and prosperity for the whole year.
2. The variety of dishes at the table are well planned and carry different meanings
All the dishes prepared are carefully thought out as they bring different auspicious meanings, and there are usually about eight to nine dishes prepared. The cohesiveness of the dishes and family gathered around will invite good luck for the year.
3. Everyone will wear either red or gold-coloured outfits for the dinner
The colours red and gold are believed to usher in wealth. That's why many (if not all) members of the family will be wearing these rich colours.
4. Lights in the house remain on during Chinese New Year's Eve
After reunion dinner, everyone usually stays up late, and the lights in the house are kept on. This is a way to invite a bright future in the coming year.
5. CNY decorations are displayed all over the house
From blooming flowers and paper pineapples to red lanterns and Mandarin oranges, New Year decorations are a must for good luck, prosperity, and warding off evil.
