Nana Au-Chua's Annual Chinese New Year Celebrations

The 2018 Lunar New Year got off to a rousing start as consummate hostess with the mostest Nana Au-Chua hosted her annual celebration at the Empress Restaurant at the Asian Civilisations Museum. Dressed in cheery shades of reds and pinks, her closest girl friends attended the luncheon to fete the start of the new year with a wonderful four-course meal that began with a lively lo hei session, where old friends and new acquaintances made auspicious wishes for the new year. The wonderful afternoon was fuelled by copious amounts of wine, animated conversations and lots of photos with the personalised and adorable stuffed dogs Nana gave to each guest.
