8 things that remind me of Chinese New Year at Avenue K Shopping Mall

Chinese New Year is round the corner, a very exciting time indeed filled with traditions and culture. Recently I was at Avenue K shopping mall and I came across 8 things that remind me of Chinese New Year. 

The Avenue K's theme for Chinese New Year this year is Eden of Opulence. With this garden theme, shoppers can expect to see and feel Chinese New Year like I did.

8 things that remind me of Chinese New Year

1. Lion Dance

These were the lion dancers which greeted shoppers at Avenue K. It was fun to listen to the drums and watch the lion dance performers. The lion dancers blessed one of the mall's latest eateries, Rue De Paris Cafe. 

Note: Lion Dance Performance are on the following dates and time at Avenue K mall.

2. Yee Sang

We had Yee Sang at Rue De Paris cafe. Interestingly, the crunchy parts were made with cornflakes. What an interesting and novel addition to the dish. Yummy!

Here's something you should know if you are shopping at the Avenue K, if your purchase is RM100 and above, you can redeem a money plant and take it home with you! Don't forget to make a wish too. Get your wishing card at Information Counter, Level G and hang your wishing card at the wishing tree located beside the Information counter.

5. Cheongsam

 

Women love to dress up in traditional Chinese Cheongsam during Chinese New Year. Its quite fun to see the various designs from traditional vintage qipaos to more modern versions and designs for the younger ladies. Check out the Cheongsams at Avenue K. There's one for everyone, including the little ones.

This is the best time to watch Chinese Cultural Performances for free!

7. Shopping

Shopping for food, clothing, accessories, decorations etc is the fun part of Chinese New Year. After the hard work we put in spring cleaning and cooking, we must dress up in our best to visit or receive relatives and friends. 

8 Visiting Malls

One of the must dos by all Malaysians during every festival is to visit our numerous malls to check out the mall decorations. This year, Avenue K Shopping Mall welcomes the year of the Dragon with the  "Eden of Opulence" with a lush garden theme.
