In the past, on every Leap Lunar 4th Month (any day in the whole month 潤四月的其中一天), married Daughters would have to prepare Braised Pork Trotter with Soup-vermicelli (豬腳面線) from the In-law’s home (備於婆家) and then carried back to the Parent’s home (送返娘家), offered to the Parent for giving them the Blessing of Good Health & Longevity (祝愿父母長壽健康).

After certain period, this practise was being Open-up to All Children and on the Leap Lunar 4th Month, Sons & Daughters would prepare the Traditional Dish for the Parent.

So upon getting the Dish, what the Parent shall do?

Usually, the Parent cannot reject the Offered and secondly, the Parent Must consume the Dish while it is hot.

By doing so, the Parent will get the Blessing that the Children had requested and also, the Children will be Blessed-in-return with Good Luck & Prosperity.

So for those who have yet to try/practise this, do it this Year, you might have something interesting in-return in the next 30 Days.

PS: For Year 2012, Leap 4th Month starts on 21 May & ends on 18 Jun.
