Just like Christmas or Thanksgiving in Western countries, Chinese New Year in Taiwan is a holiday for family reunion. Each of Taiwan's traditional Chinese New Year dishes has its symbolic meaning, and the most representative of them is "Buddha Jumps Over The Wall", a dish that is not only so delicious that it's said even a vegetarian Buddhist monk would want to jump over the wall to sample it, but also a measurement for the price index of the year! Another dish is long spinach which will bring you longevity as long as you eat it all with one bite. Come and see the most authentic Taiwanese Lunar New Year foods!
