Some tips:
- Be mindful of the local culture and sensitivities. This is as much a learning experience as it is a date.
- It's better to go for smaller food portions as you'll be tasting several dishes throughout the day, and you don't want to end up too full before the main meal.
- If you are lucky and the weather permits, you may be able to witness a lively lion dance on the streets. It's a sure source of fun and will make your day even more memorable.
