What kind of dishes do you guys serve on New Years? Every year my social media is flooded with some of the most beautiful looking dinners I think I've ever seen

I want to do something but it’s the second year that I’m living away from my family. Last year I got duck with my bf. Idk what to do this year. Maybe make him some steamed fish and buy him a beanie baby year of the rabbit bunny plushie

This year I'm doing yangrouchuan and char siu. Extended family will be providing the rest.

Unrelated, but is anyone else planning to dress up for the new year? I saw a really pretty hanfu at a festival I attended today but the elaborate stuff isn't really feasible for me. I'm planning to wear a pink qipao tomorrow, maybe wear a long-sleeved black shirt underneath in case it turns out to be too cold.

I usually just wear a qipao — I wish I had a whole wardrobe of them. They’re so pretty. And I’d like one in red.

Chinese American so culturally my family isn’t as traditional but we usually have mooncakes in September during harvest moon festival. And yes real egg yolk are in them. I dont recall ever having them during new year growing up though

Yup, same here. I always thought they were for zhong qiu jie exclusively, they are called YUE bing after all

Is there a particular brand that's best?
