Goodbye Tiger, Hello Rabbit

February 2, 2011 By Lisa Grigsby 1 Comment

According to the Chinese Almanac, tonight at midnight the tiger leaves us and makes way for the Year of the Rabbit.   Each year of the 12-year cycle is named after an animal. Each animal has a different personality and different characteristics that are believed to be the traits of a person born in that year, and which determine their success and happiness. The rabbit largely represents tranquility and calm.  In Chinese astrology, the rabbit sign is further divided into subcategories: metal, water, wood, fire and earth. The year 2011 falls under the metal category. ChineseZodiac.com says metal “gives Rabbits more strength, resilience and determination.” As a result, the site says, metal rabbits are “more intense in their actions, whether they’re work-related or romantic.”

What that all really means to me is that there are usually some incredible meals served up at our local Asian eateries to celebrate the New Year!  So here’s a quick round up of what’s available:

China Dynasty
