Rice Cooker Pineapple Rice

During Lunar or Chinese New Year festive, we like to serve foods which have prosperity or auspicious theme. Pineapple ι»„ζ’¨ and Dahfa brand dried fish fillets, which both signify prosperity, would be the auspicious ingredients to be added to the new year dish.
The golden cashew nuts, which symbolized golden ingots, are being sprinkled over the golden pot of prosperity rice.

Have a golden pot of rice at the beginning of a Lunar New Year, and blessed with continuous good luck and fortune πŸ’°πŸ’°πŸ’°πŸŽˆπŸŽ‰πŸŽ‡πŸŽ†πŸ€…πŸ€…πŸ€…
