CNY 2013 at Chinatown..

Last night i decided to take a break from by-election (did not attend PAP Rally)  and head for Chinatown..
Hmm.. this year the "Boxy Lanterns" looks weird loh.. Its creative but Chinese usually preferred round lanterns..

See all square square de.. funny hor..

 Shangdong Peanuts... Can free tasting de loh..

 Dragon year is coming to an end.. but he still make an appearance loh..

 Red Packets known as "Hong Bao".. Red Packets are filled with money and give out to children as a gesture to warding off evil..

 Nien Kao.. Sticky New Year Cake.. Because in Mandarin Nien Gao sounds like New Year Cake..

 Prosperity plants... Twisting Bamboo representing growth with a twist of fortune.. The baby mandarin orange plant, represent wealth..

 The Chinese word for pomelo sounds like "to have." means wishes will come true..

 More boxy lanterns...Boxy CNY 2013..

Wax duck and Chinese sausages.. In ancient China, during winter period people wax and preserved their meat...
