【Lotus Fruit Platter】--- The ninth dish of 2012 New Year’s Eve Dinner
Overview
This is already the ninth course. Now it’s time to have a plate of fruit. I think everyone can make a fruit platter. There is no technical content in this, but it is still indispensable at the banquet. I didn't specially prepare some good fruits, so I made one with ready-made ones at home. During the Chinese New Year, you can also choose some good fruits to make according to your own preferences. The fruit platter can be made into many shapes. This time I decided to make it look like a lotus, because the lotus is not only a symbol of holiness, but also a symbol of happiness, representing harmony and beauty. Here, through the fruit plate, I wish every family eternal harmony and happiness! In addition, regarding the serving time of the fruit plate, this may vary from place to place. In our banquet, the fruit plate is always served during the meal, while in some places it seems to be served after the meal. This is not the point, just follow your own preferences.
