Chinese New Year is about family reunion, rekindling good old time and renewing old friendship and making new ones. This year, after so many years, we are proud to see our “long-lost” family members back into the fold. Welcome back our “veterans” – Eddie Goh, Maureen Lucas, Monica Koo, Peggy Eng, Irene Khoo, Regina Lill and many more.

43 members, 11 guests and 7 children warmed up the ocassion at Yan Jing Restaurant Kaiserstrassse Frankfurt. Our MCD Patron Adina Kamaruddin and spouse Mahzan Samad joined us in this celebration. Members and guests were treated with wide-spread of buffet and endless steamboat and grill. I must say this really warmed up the ocassion as we embraced snow in the middle of February. Jimmy and Amy emceed events and entertained the guests with their antics.

The guests were also entertained with traditional dance performances from the local chinese school Huan Yin in Frankfurt.

No chinese new year is ever complete without “yee sang” – a must-have for luck and prosperity. Iris Schneider and her talent team of chefs – Irene and Alison – have prepared the “yee sang”. Our guests commented on the authenticity of this dish, which reminded us of home.

As always, we ended our celebration with our “Good Luck” tombola. Lots of prizes were given away – silk bed spread, Chinese Tea chopsticks and tea sets, lion heads (yes!), grill pan, donut makers and many more. Congratulations to all our winners.
