Happy Chinese New Year
2018.02.21

Gong xi fa cai ! It is Chinese New Year but Japanese do not celebrate it. In my country, it is my favourite festival because it is the time of family reunion, friends reunion and all the good stuffs! Just like oshogatsu, we go to temples to pray and receive otoshidama and eat a lot of food .

Since I have no holidays I can't go back to celebrate. I'm so sad /.\ but I did went out to eat with my friend before she went back, and I also cooked a dish for myself where we always eat every reunion night.

We had chinese food . It was so good!

While I was cooking my house mate was also cooking , and he offered me some of his food to try. It was so delicious! In return I gave him some of my dish too. It's good how We can casually eat each other's food and try out different cuisine everyday. I also get to learn about other cultures and ethnics.

This is a dish with beans and rice, corns, curry and vegetables. It was so delicious and different from what I always eat.

I prepared steamboat which is something like hotpot where we eat every chinese new year. IMG_3904

We usually eat in a big round table called the "reunion dinner" but I'm eating alone while watching drama. T___T

i can't wait to go back to my country and bring back more goodies for my housemates!
