I had the honor to get invited to this years New Years Celebration at Grand Hotel in Stockholm by the Chinese Embassy. I dressed up with a touch of red and entered with my friend Mr Baijiu (Ludde). Mr Baijiu is not his name, but he is the number one importer of Baijiu in Sweden, so I have named him that. There is not much about Baijiu that he doesn’t know.
So it is now the year of the pig. We celebrate the Chinese New Year every year with a nice dinner at our house.
And the year of the dog will hopefully be a good one, because we had so much lucky food.
The fish for prosperity
The lion’s head refers to the meatballs and the cabbage represents the mane. A lion represents strength and the roundness of the meatball represents family, togetherness
Spring rolls are meant to symbolize bars of gold, and bring wealth and prosperity in the year to come.
And there were more..
