Ministry of Education, Singapore Here's another CNY "tidbit" - Tray of Luck! The octagonal tray known as 'pa kuo ho' is the traditional eight-sided container used to contain a variety of sweetmeats, cakes and seeds serves to visitors. The centre contains dried-salted melon seeds. The Chinese believe that the more melon seeds you eat, the more children you will have. The sweetmeats are a symbol of life while the cakes or 'gao' suggest a higher level of lifestyle. The eight sides of the tray also carry significance as eight or 'paat' in Cantonese sounds like 'prosperity' in the same dialect. (Source: Infopedia) by Lkc Lim via PSG AMKSS http://ift.tt/1DCVAF4

The oranges are given in even numbers for good luck when visiting friends and relatives. (Source: Infopedia) by Lkc Lim via PSG AMKSS http://ift.tt/1CRQD5U
