In Sheung Wan, a dried seafood shop continued a tradition of over half a century, having a “Beginning of the Lunar New Year” lunch with its employees on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

The boss was busy from early morning, working non-stop to personally cook a good meal for the employees,

They had a classic dish: dried oysters with black moss.

There was also braised pork with bamboo shoots and shrimp, symbolizing that business needs to be "good enough."

There was also fried fish, symbolizing "abundance year after year."

Lotus root symbolizes "abundance year after year." 

There were eight dishes and a soup, a total of nine dishes, symbolizing longevity and a long-lasting business.

The owner said that the economic environment remains challenging, with business declining by more than 10% last year. Entering the Year of the Horse, his wish is for business to prosper.
