Year of the Pork

Celebrating Year of the Pig implies pork dishes right? The Chinese love their food; a typical greeting between good friends and relatives consists of the phrase “have you eaten yet?” – a gesture of care, rather than the more formal “how are you“.

So therefore, here are a few photos to remind ourselves what we can look forward to in the coming weeks. (Mental note to myself – don’t surf for gluttonous food photos after midnight when I’m starving.)
