I thought you were a videographer before. Why did you frame your shot with the top of your head cut off?
:) THANKS MUCH for sharing and Happy New Year! MORE DUMPLINGS please :) ALL the BEST! ! !
Happy Chinese New Year
Happy Chinese New Year, Mike, and your family!
Happy Year of the Dragon Mike! You gave great explanation to New Year traditions (and helped me understand what to avoid - I didn't know a few of them). I knew the right traditions - whew!
lets see.. "No White Foods" fish, noodles, those mochi balls, dumplings are all white.
Happy Lunar New Year Mike! Wishing u good health and good weath throughout the year.
So no white foods, but the fish is very important to eat? The filet inside is very white.
Happy New Year Mikey... Great CNY info to those that have no clue.. nicely explained n put together, wishing u loads of good fortune, great health n more prosperous thru this Dragon Year..powerful n energetic year🎉👍☺️
Interesting. Do fish, dumplings, sweet rice balls, and noodles NOT count as "white" foods? What is the distinction?
White foods either will be dot with red food dye or have an auspicious sounding name to "Uno reverse"
He's just making stuff up. I asked all my relatives and they never heard of that one.
@@badmongoloidMike's a bit of a weirdo he's legit in a cult
I was thinking the same thing 😂
@@goosem944 Where did you get that??
Very interesting, thank you for sharing. And, Happy new year to you ❤
Thank you, Mikey, for this wonderful cultural lesson.😁👍
Happy Lunar New Year
Thanks for the advice Mike!👍🏼😊
Happy Lunar New Year, Mike Chen! 🥳🎉🎉🎉👏👏
新年快乐, Mike.
From, Malaysia 🇲🇾
Thank you! Very informative
Happy New year to you too. Thank you for explaining some of your customs to me.
Happy lunar new year to you, Mike!
Dumpling and sweet rice ball are white , right?
Gung Hay Fot Choy to you and your family...Wishing you good health, wealth, longevity, prosperity and success 😘🤗❤
Great vid and nice to learn some Chinese words!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you very much for the information
Lovely ❤❤ Resolve to relax in this new year. ❤❤
Happy lunar new year Mikey 🎉 🧧
Happy Lunar new year to you and yours 🙏🤗
Nice vid & great facts.. ❤️🐞😋
I understand the cut foods completely, especially when you start to think about onions and the misfortune your eyes suffer while cutting in to them
Thank You Mikey for giving me the MEANING behind the Lunar New Year with the foods to eat!!!😋😋😋
YES MIKEY! Happy Lunar New Year. The Year of the Dragon. Definitely not the year of the Loong.
Man, I remember when you use to post content like this. It felt very nostalgic like from Off the Great Wall or Double Chen. Please post more content like this.
Foods to Eat:
1. Whole Fish
2. Dumplings
3. Sweet Rice Balls
4. Long and uncut noodles
5. Fruits
Avoid/Not to do:
1.Eating porridge
2. Any foods white in color
3. Any food that is chopped or cut
4. Sweeping/Cleaning
5. Breaking things
6. Negative words
7. Crying children
8. Clocks and scissors
I was just thinking when he was saying any foods white in color, isn't sweet rice balls and dumplings, noodles all white in color. And the ingredients in dumplings are chopped and cut. And to cook you end up cleaning too.
So cool and informative
Same to you!
Happy Year of the Dragon ❤
So true
Thank you Mr Mike for the overview.....the same to you chief....happy new year and thank you for the cultural perspective 😊
Thank you Mike and family 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤
I'll never look at a dumpling the same way again.
Lol...but your eating dumpling , noodles and mochi which is white...mahalo for sharing this with us about your culture
Serve with a sauce, tada! Not white anymore. But please realize these traditions are as much about fun as anything else. No one is actually freaking out because theres some white in their food. Just dont wear white in front of grandma, she might tsk.
@@fuuchan27 lol...good one
Happy new year. Thank you for sharing. Love learning about different cultures
Happy Lunar New Year Year of the Dragon Mike
Funny thing is I’ve been eating mandarins and sumo citrus for two weeks but as soon as lunar new year arrives the first one I bite in to is moldy and now so are the rest, is this a sign that I ate them too early?! 😂 I only did it because we lacked sun for almost two weeks
Am I watching Off the Great Wall? Or Double Chen?
I like my noodles long and uncut too 😉
Happy New Year Mike! 🧧🐲🎉
Red envelopes are still important for me
Happy Year Of The Dragon Mike! Love ya! 🎉
Happy new lunar year of the dragon! 🐉🐉🐉🐲🐲🐲🔥🔥🔥
The 12 zodiac is crated by Chinese. LNY is using Chinese culture without credit. That’s culture appropriation and plagiarism. Happy Chinese New Year!
Christians aren’t the only ones celebrate Christmas. Do you erase Christ to be “inclusive”? Do you say Merry Vietmas? Koreanmas?
Wow! Such good insight into the practices of lunar new year! Greatful for this!😊
Dumplings eaten by Northern Chinese, noodles by southern Chinese.
Happy new mike
I love hearing all these superstitions! No wonder I'm so crazy.
Highly informative and entertaining as usual, Mikey! I don't celebrate Lunar New Year, but this was a fun watch anyway.
What about keep working on the 1st day of the year?
Happy Lunar new year!!!
Also why here in the Philippines, people have long uncut noodles via Pancit during their birthdays 😅 we got it from the Chinese. Long noodles = Long life
Interesting! I am learning something new so thank you! I guess the thing with these rules is practice then within its reasonable grounds…Of course, if you had infants or younger kids you can’t really tell them to not cry just because it’s new years…
You can’t just leave an accidental spill of anything just because it’s the new years or just leave the dishes and cookwares for few days in the sink until the new years is over because you are not supposed to clean…things like that and you get my point. Not eating white foods was interesting to me and I wonder why…anyways, happy year of Dragon everyone! ❤
Happy Lunar New Year to you and your family
That’s cool. Thanks for the education Mikey. Happy New Year 🎉. I’m a Dragon. Hoping for a great year ahead 🎉🎊🥳🐉
Happy New Year and Great Fortune to you and your family.
Happy Lunar New Year! 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Happy new year 🎉
Keep doing your thing Bro
Happy Lunar New Year Mikey! Our family celebrates the new year as well so the dog, snake and rabbit of this family wish you and your family as well! Good eating and prosperity to you in 2024!
新年快樂！🐉🧧🎆
Happy New Year 🎉
I’m glad people are starting to understand it’s not Chinese New Year it’s Lunar New Year…also Mikey the plural of food is food not foods ..Happy New Year
Happy New Years 🎉
Vitamine C where the C stands for cash. Brilliant!
It is the year of the Dragon 🎉….i was born in 1964 which was a year of the Dragon. My life should level up on my year of the Dragon ❤
You should check not just the year but the exact date you were born, and if it falls on or after the new year as Chinese New Year changes dates regularly. I say this from experience.
I thought if it is your year it is the opposite and you should wear more red for luck?
Happy lunar year ❤
this is incredable i love noodles n dumbling and ps im a dragon 😌 thank you mike ❤
The cats I’m taking care of broke glass two days before lunar new year
cheers xing
Sui Sui Ping An for my leg then, I sprained my leg during new year now I can't go get any ang bao 😂😂
Don’t eat white foods but yet a fish has white flesh. Also if they score the fish isn’t it considered a “cut food”.
Happy Luna new year!!!
Happy year of the dragon. Ley lines. Dragon lines. Year of the ley lines.
Dang no rice on lunar new years ?! (White rice)
Happy Lunar New Year!
I was born in 88 year of the dragon
Gasp! I ate tofu and took out the trash yesterday.

Man oh man. It's pretty impressive they get anything done when they're so focused on breathing! You can never exhale because you'll blow away fortunes you'll never see anyways!
It's all for fun. It's a time of celebration, and the traditions are more about wishing everyone you love to have a great year. The stakes are no longer so dire as they were when these traditions first came about and health, your food supply, etc were very much less controllable. Believe me no one is holding their breath on the new year and we're all eating and having fun.
No lie I violated the entire don't eat list today and I'm chinese
Damn, I ate oatmeal porridge and swept while I was at work today. Ah well! Happy New Year! Hopefully this will be a nice year of the dragon ^_^
‘Science ☝️’
Who appointed this guy as the spokesman for Chinese culture? There's so many inaccuracies or inconsistencies.
For me, as far as I know he's pretty right on the money the way I was raised on Chinese New Years. I think there are many differences though and it may depend on which part of China where your parents were raised. I like his explanation though. Go Mike!!
Sun Neen Fai Loc! Gung Hay, Gung Hay!!
@rodw4057 you're Cantonese, that's just one province in greater China
Different families and regions have different cultures. It isn't a hard thing to grasp that different families have different traditions at the holidays, the Lunar New Year is no different, especially considering how many people world wide in different regions of the world celebrate this holiday.
@@badmongoloid Yes, so rod's traditions may be Cantonese and Mike's will be influenced by where he is from, and yours will be your family and region's traditions.
Like VN regionally they may do things differently. That's why he said how he did it when he was growing up. Learn to listen bro before bitching.
Happy Year of the Dragon Lunar New Year 🐉
you should avoid eating white foods but the mochi balls you are supposed to eat are basically white?
I was told Not to use a knife on Chinese New Year because if you get cut, you'll be getting cut all year long.
I've always heard that gifting scissors (or knives) are unlucky. I was taught the way to counter the bad luck was to give them some money (as little as you want) because then it means you paid for it and it's no longer a gift.
Yes, giving scissors or knives means you want to sever the relationship, so ask for a penny in return. 👍
@@user-sw3np7je1cin certain western cultures, you put a coin in the box with the knife/scissors. That way, the recipient will always have something to ‘pay’ with. Without actually paying anything, thus retaining the gift aspect.
Confusing, right?
Dragon here. Happy New Year everybody!
❤❤❤
Wow 😅
I know it's bad luck to eat duck and on the first day you must eat vegetables on the first day. The first day is all vegetables no meatttttt
So French fries and onion rings. Tough life, eh?
@@americanmade6996 more like cauliflower rice cakes mushrooms and ramen and now I'm eating udon noodles with all of that
A lot of the foods listed are white, then he says not to do white :thonk: also dumplings are filled with chopped food and you have to cut or tear an orange
Im a dragon so praying i have all the luck this year 🤔🙏
Bring back scary story time while eating, please!!
*promosm* 😊
Unfortunately so much tragedy in the world at the moment to really enjoy the new year.
