According to Chinese beliefs, displaying 13 round fruits on new year’s eve (and the chinese new year) is lucky. Since we’re Chinese, my mom bought 13 round fruits from the market. Among these fruits are apples, ponkans, grapes, watermelon, chicos (or sapodillas in English according to this link), pineapple, etc. “Pineapple? The pineapple fruit is not round,” you might say. The pineapple (菠蘿) is pronounced as “ong lai” in Fookien which sort of means “luck arrived.” Yes, the pineapple fruit is not round, but it has “luck” in its name, so it should still be part of the 13 new year fruits.

On other news, it’s already the 4th of January but I was still able to get a holiday gift. It was from my special buddy’s sisters. Thank you Ja and Je, for the mouth-watering gift. They gave me this:
Looks so yummy! I can’t wait to try it!
