Delicious foods to eat during Chinese New Year. Chinese Lunar New Year traditionally marks the first day of the new year in the Chinese lunisolar calendar. This calendar is based on the phases of the moon, as well as the time of the solar year, and therefore begins on a different day each year.
Lasting for 15 days, the Lunar New Year is the time to visit relatives and eat delicious treats traditionally only found during the festive period.
New Year’s Eve is reserved for reunion dinner with close family members, sharing elaborate dishes specially prepared for the occasion. It doesn’t matter if you’re stopping by a relative’s house or sitting down for a proper meal, here are some foods to enjoy this Chinese New Year.
