Chinese New Year

Also known as the Spring Festival, Chinese New Year is the longest and most significant celebration in the Chinese calendar. It is not only a time to honour cultural traditions and customs, but also a time for families to bond over good food and warm fellowship.

Similar with the Chinese, Filipinos have strongly associated meaningful occasions with celebratory food. For instance, noodle dishes, which are a staple in Chinese cuisine, have become part of almost every important celebration and life milestone, like birthdays, graduations, fiestas and holidays.
