The Celestial Feast
The Celestial Feast will begin when the Celestial Ox arrives at Shing Jea Monastery. At the start of the festival an announcement is made and an 8-minute countdown timer starts. The chefs will begin requesting required items. As items are provided, the chefs stop requesting them. At the 1 minute mark, or as soon as all 5 dishes were prepared, depending on how many dishes the district managed to complete, participants received a number of Red Gift Bags. If no dishes are completed, the Celestial Animal will be unsatisfied and become angry. After the feast there is a fireworks display.
