GEORGE TOWN: With Chinese New Year approaching, preparations for the celebration have started in earnest with people storing up vital ingredients for family reunion dinners.
Having experienced logistical restrictions from China during the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic, shops are now more prepared and have stocked up to meet the demands ahead of the festival which falls on Jan 22.
“To ensure sufficient stock as Chinese New Year is celebrated early this year, we made our orders about two weeks earlier,” he said on Monday. Checks at several other shops selling traditional food items for Chinese New Year found that they were crowded with customers.Tuck Kee Dried Meat Shop owner Chong Han Yaw, 38, who inherited the business in Jalan Kuala Kangsar, said they had been producing about 20 types of dried meat products such as meat slices, sausages, as well as waxed duck and pork belly since 1979.
