8 Chinese Restaurants in Yakima to Celebrate the Chinese New Year

Yummy! The Year of the Tiger brings great luck and more delicious food! Here are 8 Chinese restaurants in Yakima to celebrate the Chinese New Year. It's the Year of the Tiger. Let me be more specific because every 60 years is the year of the Water Tiger.

My birth year falls within the year of the Tiger. I always get excited when it's "my year", even though I don't remember exactly what the Tiger is supposed to represent. Cnet.com quoted a statement from the Chinese Ambassador, Qin Gang, as stating the year of the Tiger is "Tense, Inclusive, Green, Extraordinary and Refreshing." Sure, I'll claim to be all of that!

The Water Tiger symbol on the Lunar Calendar is very interesting. It means that this year is supposed to be extra lucky for those zodiacs who are Tigers. Tigers in the Chinese culture represent strength, exorcising evils, and braveness (Chinahighlights.com)
