There's an Asian grocery in our region that we just recently visited for the first time (see: https://365project.org/princessicajessica/365/2024-12-29 ), and when we were there before we noticed that they have a small Chinese food take-out buffet.
We thought we'd like to try it sometime and the Lunar New Year seemed like a good time to do it!
The large photo in this collage shows our buffet selections (I gave it the big spot, since it was the purpose of our trip!) and the smaller photos show some of the grocery's New Year decor. The lion head was on top of the buffet, the lanterns were near the cash registers, and the two little artworks-- which we think are snakes-- were painted in the windows.

The dragon is certainly the closest I've seen to a snake! It could be a snake disguised as a dragon, but that ‘tongue’ definitely makes it snakish - good find! At last we have a semblance of a snake.. 😁
The other two - I’m not sure, I can’t see a snake there, unless it’s all coiled up and again, really disguised.
I don’t understand why the decorators dont just display a proper-looking Chinese-themed snake? It cant be that hard, and surely there's a good enough reason to celebrate the Chinese symbol of the year with lots of fancy displays. I find it quite odd.
Your Chinese food looks delicious. I love Chinese fare. A super collage! I like the way you've arranged the captures.
How was the buffet selection. They look delicious!
