| Poultry symbolizes Fertility |
The feast provided was no ordinary Chinese dish. The Chinese dishes are also symbolic so it does not only nourish our bodies if you believe in Feng Shui. Food attracts good luck. Each dish has its own symbolism. The Barbecue Combination Platter is mostly pork which symbolize unity. Poultry like the Peking duck symbolize fertility. Seafood symbolize prosperity. A Chinese feast would not be complete without noodles which symbolize long life. The list of dishes with symbolism goes on and it's customary to take part on each dish served.
