The Chinese New Year Dish

Fish, peanuts, sesame seeds, coriander, sweet-and-sour sauce.
Pick it all up with your chopsticks ||
Mix all the ingredients up.
Mix. Mix. Mix. Mix. Mix. Mix.
Now take the food... UP UP UP!
As high as you can!
... For Good Luck!

Every Year.
Same Time.
Same People.
Same Restaurant.
Same Delicious Food.
Since Forever.

It was my grandmother’s favourite dish.
Sad she could not enjoy it…
She ate liquefied food through a tube.

I was five when she passed away.
But every year we have the same dish,
To remember the people that have passed.
