So I was having dinner the other night at this particular restaurant. It was actually a treat to me for somebody who “owed” me, and somehow I got to choose the restaurant. Nothing posh or fancy though. There was a budget cap! We happened to be really close by Ayala Triangle that time thus we…
Well, Chinese New Year at that. But, nonetheless, “Xīn Nián Kuài Lè!“, as the literal translation would be. The more common greeting, they say, is “Gōng Xǐ Fā Cái“. Which means “wishing you prosperity”. And this year, according to the Chinese calendar, would be that of the Pig. Took me only another new year celebration…
