Happy Lunar New Year! It's the year of the rooster.

Each dish represents a well wish. Noodles for a long life. Dumplings for wealth because they look like gold ingots. Steamed fish for abundance because in Chinese, the word "fish" sounds like "abundance".

While it's all just symbolic, I do love each of these dishes in the photo so here's to a year of many more dumplings and noodles!
