On the eve of lunar New Year's day prayer offering to Heaven Gods, the time to pray different from year to year, this Snake year the best time 9-10 am, there should be 6 or 9 dishes offer for prayer on the table. In villages it is mostly 9 dishes, my mother use 9 dishes, but now since married daughter & son having their own family, for the last few years I prefer to use 6 dishes in order not to waste foods.
BBQ pork ribs,boil whole chicken, pomelo, Mnadarin oranges, spring onion, lewttuce,vegetarian not included whole fish, vinega pork knuckle and fatt ko ( cake),
