Five dishes to enjoy this lunar new year
By Adam Liaw, cook, writer, television presenter and Chatswood resident.
As the story goes, the reason Chatswood became a hub for the Asian community in
Sydney has a lot to do with feng shui, the Chinese metaphysical practice of harmonising
buildings and structures with their natural environment. Feng shui masters say there is a
giant dragon coiled around Sydney, and its head is in Chatswood.
The lunar new year is a time for good food and good fortune, and there’s no better place
than Chatswood for both. If you want to ring in the new year with some auspicious foods
but don’t know where to start, here’s a few pointers.
