preparation
First, do not panic. Make a plan, think about the ideal celebration context, what needs to be done, which dishes to cook so you can prepare your shopping list. Before the holiday arrives, prepare the house, clean it, tidy up to increase the odds of good fortune in your household with the right materials (cleaning supplies, laundry, detergents). Add a festive flair with red banners ornments with gold Chinese calligraphy to welcome prosperity in the new year. Anticipate early closures from shops and business, buy or order your groceries for the dinners and regular meals.

Here are the most popular food to cook and enjoy during Chinese New Year in Hong Kong:
