人日, literally Human Day, 7th day in the 1st month of lunar year

Today is Renri (Chinese:人日, literally Human Day) refers specially to the 7th day of zhengyue (正月, the first month in the Chinese calendar). According to Chinese customs, renri was the day human beings were created.

Our humans family members still on-going had steamboat for dinner...


while we had..

Nature's Harvest Dog Adult Tripe & Brown Rice with country vegetables


other ingredients added in are Celery, rice, carrots and long beans


Yummy!


Besides today being the Human day,it's also a day for...

Yusheng!

Yusheng-鱼生 (also spelt Yu Sheng) meaning "raw fish" is a Chinese New Year dish, served traditionally on the seventh day of Chinese New Year or Ren Ri ("Everyman's Birthday"). It is a salad dish made of thin slices of raw fish and various spices, mixed with tossing actions by diners. A play on Chinese homonyms links the ingredients and tossing actions to prosperity and longevity, all adding to the good wishes for the new year.

This year, we had Abalone Yu Sheng!

PS: although feeding us yu sheng aka human food aren't good for our health but well.. once in a while... let's just enjoy for a little bit since we take very little bite of it and it's not a "everyday" or "every time" food...
