After spending her first Chinese New Year in Malaysia last year, Taiwanese actress Joe Chen has returned to the country with her Malaysian husband, artist Alan Chen, for this year's celebration.
As seen in a series of Instagram updates, the couple joyously welcomed the Year of the Dragon alongside family and friends in Alan's hometown in Johor.
One photo showed Joe, 44, and Alan, 34, posing with a dragon dance troupe while another showed the actress holding a container of kuih ros.
"Relatives and friends just can't understand the extent of my love for honeycomb cookies," she captioned her post on Sunday (Feb 11).
In addition to enjoying spectacular fireworks displays and yummy CNY dishes, Joe had a blast belting out songs with Alan at a karaoke lounge.
In a recent Instagram Story posted by Alan, Joe could be seen singing along to the popular 1980s Taiwanese song Dancing Lady.
Many netizens warmly welcomed Joe and Alan to Malaysia and wished them a prosperous CNY.
Some also told them to enjoy as much Malaysian food as they can before jetting off to Taiwan.
Joe and Alan registered their marriage at the Household Registration Office in Da’an District in Taipei City on March 31, 2022 after dating for about two-and-a-half years.
The couple met in 2019 on the Chinese dating show Meeting Mr Right.
