Chinese New Year Takeout

The VanCouver courier.com: T&T Supermarket is celebrating the arrival of the Year of the Dog in style this month.
Walk into any T&T right now and you’ll be greeted by a blaze of red and gold, as the stores gear up to celebrate Chinese New Year-which this year includes a more polished offering of T&T’s popular table-ready, takeout Chinese New Year’s menu.
The Hired Belly is a big fan of T&T, if for no other reason than its well-stocked live seafood tanks, which offer up an affordable, fresh shellfish feast on a whim. There’s more, of course, from aisles of staples and specialties to frozen dim sum, Asian vegetables, barbecued meats to go and baked treats.
Whether you’re a self-confessed kitchen klutz or a seasoned dabbler in Chinese cuisine-no fuss, no muss-these well-executed dishes offer the perfect chance to put on your own Chinese New Year’s celebration at home.
“Think restaurant food at supermarket prices,” jokes T&T’s Melina Hung, who says busy schedules and the lack of an official Canadian holiday make it challenging for people to find time to prepare the dishes they need to celebrate in style.
