Origami Serviette Lotus

I made this serviette lotus just out of curiosity. This is an origami serviette holder in the shape of a lotus. It's place at the centre of the table for guests to pull the petals when they need a serviette to pick up the finger food or use the serviette to wipe their hands. It can bee made with other type of coloured paper and use as a display unit too.

Seven Coloured Sashimi/七彩鱼生

Yesterday was the 7th day of the Chinese Lunar New Year and it's aka People's Day. So, it's everybody's birthday and this dish is a must on this day. You can order it from every Chinese restaurants, when you are are invited to share the celebration or going to a restaurant for an experience . One must pick up a pair of chopsticks and toss the mixture as high as you can and at the same time yelling out loud, "Lao sang, lao sang yit lao yit sang/ toss higher,toss higher the high the more prosperous we become."
