Chinese New Year - Lucky Fish!, by Miss Horvath
Date: 1st Feb 2022 @ 12:20pm

The Arowana Fish also known as the Dragon Fish is believed to have descended from a mythical dragon and have the power to bring happiness and prosperity. It is also traditional to serve fish at the end of the New Years evening meal, due to its name sounding similar to the words 'wish' and 'abundance' in the Chinese language.
