The Year of the Monkey
Saahil Gajwani, Year 5
On Monday, 8th February, my class went to Hai King Restaurant. When we reached Hai King we went over a small bridge. Then we went upstairs and we sat down in a special room.
First they gave us fortune cookies and when we ate the fortune cookies we found a paper written in Chinese. I asked Jenny, our Chinese student, what was the meaning and she said it meant good luck.
Christa Maria Banboukian, Year 4
The owner of the restaurant gave us money. It was 500 fcfa in a red and gold envelope. In China they give children money to have good luck. We had to wash our hands before we ate. It was my very first time at Hai King. I felt excited.
Arjun Suri, Year 5
We went to Hai King because it serves Chinese food. We went there at lunchtime and we didn’t go empty handed; we had a red lantern (Red is a lucky colour in China) and we sang a charming Chinese cultural song. We were warmly welcomed by the owner, who was really kind.
Ivan Simo-Dzumgang, Year 4
The food was really delicious, especially the spring rolls. I ate so much that, when I saw the food, I felt hungry again. For the dessert, we ate steaming dumplings and a bird fruit. The steaming dumplings were sugary!
