Gong Xi Fa Cai

Gong Xi Fa Cai to all! It is Chinese New Year and we wish all our Chinese colleagues a very Happy New Year. Every (Chinese)house and offices are decorated with red lamps, red cards, and their guests, friends, colleagues are greeted by giving oranges. China Town here is decked up in red and it is a feast to eyes to see the festive decorations. Tangarines ( a variety of orange) are available during CNY. They are so sweet and cute. I mean it, they are cute little oranges which can be peeled and kept in mouth !

usually there is no need to give a make over to these oranges as they are best eaten fresh and whole! I made fruit salad with them. Since they are very juicy they yielded good amount of juice to make salad dressing too.

While we enjoy 5 days CNY holidays you guys enjoy this new year song..

Gong Xi Fa cai to you too. I remember the merriment and the town turning red for the New Year , when we were living in Indonesia. Used to love those little Hong Bao envelopes. The mini tangerines are now available in Bangalore too.
