Curious Story

Welcome to the year of the Ox! Curious Table takes you to China to honor the Lunar New Year this Friday, February 12th (according to our calendar). This holiday is the world’s largest annual celebration–a time when families literally sweep away ill-fortune to make way for good luck.

Every year, hundreds of millions of Chinese migrate back to their home villages from the large urban cities where they live and work. It is a scale of human movement unmatched anywhere else. However they travel, family members return home to welcome in the New Year with fireworks, pageantry, and especially food–including chicken symbolizing that everyone can afford good food; and Nian Gao, a special rice flour cake that translates to mean “a more prosperous year.”

The year of the Ox represents prosperity, success in business & career, and wellness for all–a symbolism we can all embrace. We wish you well as you participate in the world’s largest human migration with this dinner delivered “take-out” style in boxes covered with Chinese characters wishing us all well. Inspired by the Year of the Ox, we hope it serves your family well.

大展鴻圖 — May you realize your ambitions!

吉慶有餘 — May your happiness be without limit!
