Today is the 1st day of Chinese New Year. Chinese People in Hong Kong, we use to prepare a "sweet box" so that the relatives come, they chat and eat some sweets.This year, I told my mom that do not put too much candies or chocolates into it, try to replace some nuts or dry fruits to be more healthy.
"Round" shape is so significant to Chinese. Round means never ending & forever. So the sweet box, the table are in round shape. And Cantonese people eat "湯圓", one kind of dessert "Glutinous rice balls" which are in round shape with sesame, peanut or red bean inside. We always eat them in special days, means we can meet each others next time.
