Mandarin Oranges... One of the "must have" items during CNY. The golden hue of the fruit is believed to bring good luck. Moreover the Cantonese name for the orange (柑) sounds like gold (金).I have bought few boxes of lokam (芦柑) and several packets of honey tangerines. We consume them pretty fast. I didn't buy any 朝洲柑 (teochew mandarin oranges) this time, those which comes in wooden crates... The teochew mandarin oranges are rounder with thicker skin texture compared with the lokam.
Ah Boy enjoying his honey tangerine.My dog loves to eat lokam & honey tangerine. It is easy to feed him tangerine since most tangerines are seedless. And furthermore the honey tangerine is small (the skin is easy to peel as well), so suits him :) Can even give him one whole tangerine, and he will eat in within seconds.
My dog is curious, thinking "What is this? Orange coloured snowman?" Sniff, sniff....
Since the coming CNY is dog year, so my cute doggy is being My dog take this opportunity to wish everyone Gong Xi Fa Cai. Anyone wants to give him angpow ? :D

Selba,
inspiration from Ah Boy & the oranges? :)
Kampung Kai,
Initially I only put one lokam, then I noticed the tangerine oranges..
Then the inspiration of making the snowman comes :)
I purposely choose the bigger sized tangerine so that the snowman won't have a mini head..
hahha.. cos the lokam is the big lokam :D
Cynthia,
Ooh... Ah Boy doesn't mind if u give him food instead of angpow :D
He doesn't mind getting Bak Kua instead of angpow ;)
