The Year of the Fire Monkey 2016

chinese new year 2016

8 Feb was the first day of the Year of the Fire Monkey. In Malaysia, we celebrate Chinese New Year for 15 days. As per tradition, homes are cleaned before the new year (cleaning during the new year is bad luck) and new brightly coloured furnishing are bought. Everyone gets new clothes and shoes too. On the first 3 days, Malaysian will visit family and friends at “open houses” where there is free flowing food and drink all day. Kids and unmarried youngsters are given Red packets filled with money for luck. It was always a great game to compare our Ang Pow stash at the end of the day. Inevitably, we will end up at a friend’s home where there is a mahjong or card game on.

Chap Goh Meh – the Hokkien New Year celebration

In the Hokkien communities in pockets around KL, Penang and other states, the 15th is the most important day. They call it Chap Goh Meh (literally, the 15th night). Besides celebrating the end of the New Year celebrations, it also has a romantic backdrop. In the olden days, this was the day that unwed girls were allowed out of their home. With their chaperones, they will dress up in all their finery and stroll through town. These girls will bring along mandarins to throw into the river in the hope of finding tru love. Today, this has been turned into a competition where boys in boats will compete to collect as many of the mandarins as possible. You can see this along the Esplanade in Penang.

Testimonial: Here is what one our supperclubbers had to say about our events:

“We had such an incredible time at May’s supper club – wonderful food in such a wonderful atmosphere. It really added to the evening having May explain the history of Malaysian cuisine so we knew why we were eating what we were eating. I cannot fault the evening, May and her team went above and beyond to produce some really exciting dishes – we didn’t want to leave! We will most definitely be returning soon. Thank you May. Dawn ”

Note: We are also available for private parties too, drop us an email for more details.
