This hybrid family (Iban champur China) wishes to say "Happy Chap Goh Meh" celebration to all relatives and friends wherever you may be. It is a time to have a hearty and big makan.

Chap Goh Mei (or Chap Goh Meh) means "the 15th night" in the Hokkien dialect, marking the final day and first full moon of Chinese New Year celebrations, also known as the Lantern Festival (Yuan Xiao Jie).
It is a time for family reunions with festive meals (like Yuan Xiao or Tang Yuan), lanterns, fireworks, and traditionally, a "Chinese Valentine's Day" where single people toss oranges into rivers to find love (I am not sure if this tradition is still being practised by single people).
