Chinese New Year, also known as the Lunar New Year, is marked by traditions which date back thousands of years. Each year is represented by one of 12 zodiac animals, including the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, ram (or goat), monkey, rooster, dog, and pig. This year is Year of the Snake - a symbol often associated with wisdom, transformation, and renewal. The festival is celebrated with family gatherings, traditional foods, and vibrant cultural events.
Joshy, who as @chefjoshyjin on TikTok amasses hundreds of thousands of views on his videos, said: “Our mission is to bring authentic Chinese cuisine into UK homes, making it accessible, enjoyable, and true to its roots.
