It is an opportunity to cherish the special moments with those who mean the most to us, while sharing in the traditions and communal experiences that are so common in Chinese culture. All the senses are engaged, the smell of the food, the warmth of the atmosphere, and the tastes that bring out the true flavors that are shared among all the family members. These moments will be remembered for a long time to come.
