Tray Of Togetherness

Enter The Year of The Black Snake 2013!! So what do you know?? Time flies so fast!! We have just celebrated Christmas and New Year not long ago and now we are preparing for the Lunar Year. I have been thinking hard whether to spend time with my family in my hometown or do what I do best "Eating & gathering" that means work ♥ Well I have checked with everybody in my family, looks like everyone has their own plan so the usual me... I do a little work while they are gone :) Don't get me wrong we are united. We have had fair share of Christmas celebration. Now is the time for them to celebrate with the other half of the family which is far far away from town. Take turns they say :)

Food in Chinese is not surprisingly plays a major role. Chinese always have symbols in the food that they served. I have just learned a thing or two during my search that in chinese culture each recipe symbolizes good fortune or has other lucky connotations. So to make things short and simple I am sharing my notes, here go:-

Lucky or Good luck dishes must have in Chinese Plate during the Spring Festive.

1. Egg for Fertility

2. Noodle for Longevity

3. Fish for Prosperity

4. Chicken (Dragon + Phoenix)

Good marriage + the coming together of families. Whole bird means family unity

5. Seeds (Lotus, watermelon) bearing many children.

6. Fruit (Tangerines, Oranges + Pamelo)

Luck & wealth. Pamelo for abundance of Joy!

7. Cake (sweet, steamed cake & sticky Rice)

for Richness & Sweetness in life.

The layers symbolize the rising abundance for the coming year
8. Spring Roll symbolizes wealth because their shape is similar to Gold Bars

Note: Round shape (Table) means signify family reunion...there you have it.

Now you have all the important meaning of "Good luck" food symbols. My team and I are ready to serve this abundance of joy for this coming spring festive. Our menus are designed according to the "Good Luck Fortune"dishes.

Welcoming Note

Hello everyone! This is so exciting; I have a blog now. For a couple of years I’ve been thinking to create a blog, however it’s almost impossible for a computer illiterate like me to change the codes and layout. I finally made it, not as “hi-tech” as you think but I think it is alright for a beginner like me.

Briefly about me, I am not a real Chef but I work like one and because of my passion for food and love of eating, I am qualified as a home cook (*wink*). My dream is to have an empire one day, well maybe just a small cafe but for now I am happily operating from home. I have had 11 years of working experiences in pretigious 5 star hotels & Resorts & Fine Dining Restaurant in Sales & Marketing Department in Kota Kinabalu. I was always incharge in Events & Banquet sales. My 6 months of internship at The Lodge of Yarrow Augusta Michigan U.S.A had an impact in my life. I realized food makes me happy and I am happy to make people happy! Hence, I slowly begin to learn how to cook. Amazingly, God blesses me with greater talent in baking. I have just started baking in 2011 and still learning. When I was little girl, I have always wanted to become an Interior or a fashion designer, but I do not know why I did not persue. Lets just say, it was not an "In" thing at that time. So I show case my imagination and dress the table In-Style. I am very passionate working with colors, flowers and other objects that inspired me spontaneously, I am not a perfectionist but I have an eye for details.

I am so blessed that I do have an excellent kitchen team to assist with my little venture here. I could have not run this alone without assistance.

This sanctuary is a means for me to express my creativity through food and photography. I am delighted in simple things in life so you will not see any pretentious in everything I write here. I’m hoping that starting new will rejuvenate my spirit. So this new blog will start slow while I’m working behind the curtain, tweaking it with google guidance until it is finally completed. In the meantime, please enjoy your visit here and don’t hesitate to leave comments for me! God Bless you all ..Thank you
