After a long and joyous celebration, we finally mark the 15th and final day of Chinese New Year with Chap Goh Mei. In this episode, we break down what are the rituals and traditions that are observed on this joyous day, especially the unique tradition that originated from Penang, where people throw mandarin oranges into the river, hoping to meet their potential partners there. We also talk about the future of this celebration and whether it’ll be observed the same way by the future generations.
