Last weekend in Manchester's Chinatown, we had the annual Chinese New Year carnival. Here are some of the shots I took on that lovely sunny afternoon.
The lion dancers went around Chinatown and into many Chinese business premises around the periphery. Made a lot of noise and I noticed many visitors were taken aback by the firecrackers.
The main street in Chinatown.
Some restaurant folks laid out their stalls oudoors selling their products at vastly inflated prices!
We were lucky enough to be dining inside a restaurant when the lion dance came in!
And what did we eat?
Assorted meat Cantonese Fried Ho Fun
Chicken feet with Black Bean Sauce with rice.

Well, the beef brisket with egg noodle soup appeals to me :o). Lots of festivity in the air!
so crowded!!! Look at the satays...etc etc.. and i agree with wmw, the beef brisket looks really good in that pic.
All the street food and the Lion Dance team looks quite appealing! I love the look of the yellow egg noodles street food. It is always a lucky day when you can see a Lion Dance.
