It’s a familiar scene for many Asian families. Firecrackers detonating. Spring Festival Gala live on TV. Red envelopes given out by elders.

And the one special tradition towards the end of the night - no matter how full you are after a sumptuous feast on New Year’s Eve, you’re asked to take at least one bite of the eight-treasure rice pudding, a dessert that symbolizes happiness and prosperity for the upcoming year.

With safety this year’s priority for the Lunar New Year holiday, we want to bring a celebratory, taste of home to you. No matter what you want to celebrate with - from Peking Duck to Japanese BBQ - there’s something for everyone (and every New Year meal) on Chowbus.
