Chinese New Year at Cebu Waterfront Hotel and Casino - iamkimcharlie

Gong Xi Fa Cai! Chinese New Year, also known as Spring Festival in China, is the most important traditional festival and also a time for families to be together. I normally celebrate it with my family and we usually prepare traditional Chinese New Year dishes like tikoy, pancit, sweet and sour fish, local dumplings, round cakes, sweet fruits that brings luck, wealth and prosperity to our family.

This year, I feel so lucky to be invited and celebrate the year of the fire rooster at Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino.

Last January 27, I welcomed the Chinese New Year Eve filled with hopes, happiness, prosperity and luck brought by the traditional lion dance, wushu performance and dragon dance.  A huge chow mien noodles was also shared to members of the media and bloggers which is believed  as a symbol of prosperity and long life.
