And so, the festivities kick in again with the first of 2020 being the Lunar New Year or as we’re more familiar with locally, the Chinese New Year. This year’s celebration is a little more special because it’s the year of the rat and what this means is that the 12-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac will begin afresh once again.

That’s right, it’s the year of new beginnings and renewals, a great year to evolve and work towards those goals, dreams and aspirations of yours. As with tradition, it also marks the time for family reunions, good food and celebration. We at Mudah.my thought we’d help you out a little by listing some stuff found on Malaysia’s largest marketplace that you may just need in time for this year’s Chinese New Year.
