年夜饭

My first Spring Festival in China. And my first 年夜饭. New Year's Eve dinner.

Look at all the dishes! This was just the beginning. The "冷菜" or cold dishes. We had almost every kind of meat there is: pork, beef, chicken, duck, rabbit, fish (big and tiny), crab, shrimp, sea cucumber, and more. It was amazing. So delicious. I wish I could have eaten more of each dish but they were all so good and so many to taste. Always had to remind myself, need to leave room for the next dish.

Emma, her aunts and me.

The chef, Emma's uncle.

With Emma's cousin, Reason, and his "红包" hong bao. Funny story, Emma talked him into sharing his 300 RMB with us. Each person 100RMB each. He is so cute and generous he actually gave it to us. But we couldn't actually steal from the kid.
