Chinese New Year

On Saturday, February 10th, we embraced the vibrant spirit of Chinese New Year at Wellington Grange.

The idea to celebrate this auspicious occasion came from one of our residents during our monthly activity review meeting in January, where residents have the opportunity to contribute ideas for our monthly calendar.

Our day commenced with invigorating exercise as we engaged in a lively game of table tennis. In the afternoon, we delved into the intricate game of Mah-jong, a new activity we hope to continue enjoying together.

As evening descended, anticipation filled the air as we prepared for our special ‘Chinese takeaway night.’ Our talented chef Dan crafted a delectable feast that truly transported us to the heart of Chinese cuisine.

The room was adorned with festive lanterns, and tables sparkled with red and gold decorations, setting the perfect backdrop for our celebration. Residents adorned themselves in fabulous Chinese jackets or red attire, adding to the festive ambiance.

We savoured a mouth-watering meal, starting with crispy spring rolls followed by succulent char sui pork belly with stir-fried noodles, culminating in a delightful toffee sesame banana dessert.

It was a night of camaraderie and indulgence as we shared laughter and stories, relishing the flavours of our special takeaway.

The evening was a resounding success, with residents thoroughly enjoying the opportunity to socialise and savour a memorable Saturday night together.
