Chinese New Year 2009 in Sydney

2009 is the Year of the Ox on the Chinese calendar. Food always plays an important role in Sydney's Chinese New Year Festival and different dishes have specific significance. Noodles should be served long and uncut to guarantee long life for everyone at the table, and most families share a whole fish to suggest togetherness and abundance. A chicken symbolises prosperity and should always be served complete with head, tail and feet to represent completeness.

There are many ways to celebrate Chinese New Year. Here are some of Sydney's best Chinatown restaurants, so you can celebrate the Year of the Ox in style.

Emperor's Garden Seafood Restaurant

Level 1/96-100 Hay Street, Haymarket

This Chinatown mainstay has been around for years. You'll be given an English menu but, if you want authentic Chinese cuisine, bypass it and point at dishes on the other tables.
