Inspired by our friend's Nasi Lemak Lunch [fusionview.co.uk/2009/01/remembering-how-to-be-malaysian/] , we headed into Chinatown today to stock up on some ingredients for reviving our Chinese cooking skills. By chance, we came upon a lion dance during the Chinese New Year festivities, which I captured on my trusty mobile phone.

The lion is going from shop to shop to bless the businesses with good luck in this Year of the Ox. You'll see the lettuce hung on the door of the shop by the shopowner as an offering to the lion - which the beast grabs eagerly to munch. In return good luck is bestowed on the business in the coming year.
