tiny offering
Every Chinese business and home will have a place of worship. An altar to ask the gods for wealth, protection and prosperity as well as give thanks by simply burning joss sticks. The more elaborate, the better they believe. Some people place fruits and cakes in front of the deities. However, this is a simple one. I found it hanging outside a small unopened store. I guess it doesn't matter how elaborate altars have to be as long as our prayers are answered.

Like many of other traditions, we are seeing less and less of this kind of altar in HK...but my mom's place still has an elaborate one :-) Happy CNY again Ed!
You probably got it right Edwin, all that matters is that our prayers are answered. Just try and fold a thousand paper cranes, they say it makes your wish come true! (see my post today)
Anyway, JUST LOVE THIS LITTLE PIECE OF LOCAL CULTURE AND FAITH.
