KEEPING to tradition is important when planning a festive menu as some diners look forward to savouring Chinese New Year delicacies with symbolic meaning attached to them.
Ingredients like fish (surplus and prosperity), prawns (happiness), the combination of sea cucumber, abalone and shiitake mushrooms (symbolising prosperity) and pineapple tarts (ong lai in Hokkien referring to welcoming luck and the fruit’s golden colour symbolising wealth and prosperity) are often included by chefs when curating a festive menu.
