In China, younger generations seldom cook at home. Old people still stick to the tradition of home cooking. Cooking and\u00a0eating at home generate more family affection. But,\u00a0speaking of\u00a0the abundant Chinese Lunar New Year gala dinner, many families tend to give up preparing it at home due to the tedious work needed to be done to\u00a0plan this family reunion\u00a0dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many families rather choose to eat out at a Chinese restaurant for the Chinese lunar new year\u2019 dinner than make it at home. For dining out\u00a0during the lunar new year eve, very often people have to reserve the tables one year in advance due to high demand. When finishing this year\u2019s new year eve dinner, then people would book the next year\u2019s one immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like some other stubborn old people, my father hates\u00a0eating out. He\u00a0prefers to\u00a0have the Chinese lunar new\u00a0year eve\u2019s dinner at home. He also likes cooking, and very good at it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past week, my father in law has been busy preparing for the new year eve dinner. Every time I ask him whether he is tired, he would say he is not tired because it is a family reunion diner and he feels happy about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 5:00pm, we start to have the important Chinese new year dinner ( 2011). There are over 10 courses on our new year eve dinner menu. If you are\u00a0interested\u00a0in\u00a0our Chinese New Year\u2019s Dinner recipes, please check below the pictures\u00a0and I would introduce to you the menu one by one:<\/p>\n\n\n
