It's a busy weekend aint it. I call it Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Nah, the old lady has some Chink new years goodies in mind.
Happy year of the ox Fash, Shen Li, Zetsu, and Priscilla. Maybe Azhya too. I don't know if Filipinos celebrate that festival or not.

The Philippines is close to China.....and a fair number of people in that country have Chinese ancestry..
I don't know if it's a national holiday, but I'm sure a lot people celebrate it just like here in Canada.
We have fish, dumplings, Mom's famous spring rolls, good fortune fruit, rice cake and rice balls. Plus Great Wall wine. Woo hoo. ac_dance :yahoo:
Koreans celebrate Chinese New Year, but they call it Lunar New Year, or Seollal. I love duk kuk which is a customary food for New Year's celebrations.

Right, I should have explained. It's Korean rice cake soup. It's a hearty beef brisket based soup. It is so good.

Most Caucasians I know say Korean food is their favourite East Asian cuisine.

I am biased, but my heritage aside, Korean soups are the best soups.
Happy Chinese New Year.Year of the ox. The last 20 years I've been in a sports bar somewhere, celebrating with friends. Not this year.

What's wrong with wanting to be able to go out as part of Chinese New Year celebrations?
I suppose my Chinese ancestors would have celebrated today. Happy Chinese New Year.

I am sure it is good but I have never had this. I do not usually crave for any Asian soupy items but I do love noodle soup. I am just not that intersted in too many exotic items thrown in there. I enjoy Egg Drop Soup and Wonton Soup. In the same vein, I am also not too keen on the Pho stuff.
In the Philippines, we have Arroz Caldo. It was something the Spanish left behind. It is a rice soup with chunks of chicken meat thrown in there.

Oh puhleeease. Herman doesn't give a fuck about our festival. It's just an excuse to drink in a bar with his baboon friends.

I do not know if there is a city where there are no Filipinos. Probably some. Anyway, in the old days in the Philippines, the Chinese folks like to keep to themselves and not intermarry but that has changed now. Today, you'll find Chinese Filipinos intermarrying with the darker Pinoys. Nevertheless, some Chinese in the Philippines still like to keep to themselves.

That does not surprise me. Duterte is a nationalist, but he is also China's number one toady. After Korean president Moon Jae In of course.
Happy Chinese New Year.
