Sweet Year :: Have a piggy new year!

Happy Chinese New Year everyone! A weekend of feasting, celebrating and giving of lucky red money packets has just passed in this Year of the Pig. And 2007 is an extra special year...not just any old piggy year...it's the Year of the Golden Pig! Apparently, this "golden" year only swings around every 60 years (or 600 years, depending what you read!) Subsequently, a baby boom is expected in China as it's believed any child born this year will be extra lucky & prosperous!

I just like to have a giggle thinking that I'm going to give birth to my own little piggy in April! There's no doubt this little piggy will follow in its mother's foodie footsteps! And we got off to a great start on the weekend, thanks to a 10-course Chinese banquet! Little bubba didn't know what hit him/her!

We couldn't find any golden pigs, so these little pink piggies had to do...they'd like to wish everyone a thoroughly happy & piggy year! N
