Food: Lunar New Year

January 28, 2017 in Food, Lifestyle

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!

A space to dine, a place for wine. This part of the house welcomes you home and invites your guests in. Swipe to see how it flows into the rest of the main floor.

It&rsquo;s nice to see a condo exterior that has shape and colour. It&rsquo;s much more interesting visually and adds variety to the Toronto skyline. This is Aqualuna by @tridelcommunities. I drive by sometimes, but finally walked by to see it up clo
@creativedesigntherapy completely updated the inside of this home from top to bottom and the kitchen + dining area got some much needed love.

The two are next to each other in an open space, making it easy to move back and forth with food + drinks.
