What To Watch: First Day Of CNY


What To Watch: First Day Of CNY - One of the things I look forward to every Chinese New Year is the fancy eight-course meals.

It begins with the customary yee sang toss, then followed by a piping hot serving of fish maw soup (say no to shark fin soup please!) to get your appetite going.

The mains are next, marked by meatier dishes like crispy roast chicken, steamed fish and king prawns (which is the highlight of the meal, if you asked me). Stir-fried broccoli with chinese mushrooms gets thrown in somewhere in between.

A plate of steamed glutinous rice guarantees you a full stomach and finally, a sweet bowl of tong sui caps off the night.

CNY TV viewing is a lot like an eight-course meal. There’s lighter fare like variety shows and live music shows, heavy family dramas that are filled with meaning and sweet, sentimental love stories.

Here’s a run-down of what to watch on the first day of CNY (look out for the list for the second day tomorrow). We hope you’ll find something that’ll satisfy your viewing appetite.
