These big one's cost about US $300 (or $1000 Malaysian Ringgit)
The larger ones can be roasted longer as there are more fat
in the Pig, creating very crispy outer layer of the skin ...
You will have to pay about US $40 or $138 Ringgit Malaysia for these smaller ones ...
It may not be a pretty sight until you have it on the dinner table ...
"招财进宝" originally 4 separate Chinese Characters
written as a single character (symbol) ...
Chinese Prayers never seems to run away
from prosperity and wealth ...
"平安" (PingAn) or SAFE wishes as an offering seems far more
appropriate in these days ...
appropriate in these days ...
I can afford these, each one set you down about US $10 or Ringgit $35 ...
Regardless of these succulent roasted duck ...
or these little ones or big ones below, I like them all ...
寿包 or "Long Life Pao", I think there are smaller Pao inside that
turtle usually symbolizes of course Long Life ...
At around 11 pm on the 8th day of the Lunar New Year Calendar,
The Hokkiens (福建人) will begin the praying ceremonies
and offerings to the Jade Emperor ...
The prayers continue through mid-night to the
9th day of the Lunar New Year Calendar ...
It is a significant day for the Hokkiens (福建人), it is a day of gratitude
for their ancestors ...
