3. Simmered mushrooms with oyster sauce

Dried mushrooms look like copper coins. Soak the dried mushrooms in water for them to swell but remember to drain away the water before stir-frying them with diced ginger and sugar. Then simmer the stir-fried mushrooms with oyster sauce. Place the mushrooms on a plate surrounded by boiled packchoi, a petite cabbage with emerald green leaves.

4. Pan-fried shrimp with ketchup

Shrimp is pronounced like "hah" so this dish has a cute name "Hah hah, laugh out loud". Ketchup, whose red color is regarded by Chinese as a lucky color, brings out a sweet and sour flavor that appeals to both the elderly and kids, to both Chinese and foreigners. Also, "sour" sounds like "grandchild" in Cantonese, so the dish carries the hopes of the elderly for a big and prosperous family.
