Lai See Envelopes

Getting ready for Chinese New Year! So I think it works like this. Married couples and grown-ups give money in these red little envelopes to all children, and maybe even single people too. Can anybody confirm?

Cantonese Cuisine

Julie's friend Henry was in town and we went out to dinner at a traditional Cantonese restaurant:

Sausages (am too lazy to rotate this.)

Crispy noodles with beef.
