Oranges, Gold Coins and Red Melon Seeds

For certain restaurants, when you have the Chinese New Year luncheon or dinner, they have two oranges with a red packet on the table.

Gold Coins and Red Melon Seeds

What's inside the red packets? Gold coins and red melon seeds.

Symbolism:
Anything with seeds, like pumpkin seeds or melon seeds symbolizes "lots of children".
Anything with gold, symbolizes prosperity.

(It has been a long time since my colleagues and I ate golden coin chocolates. We saw it and ate it. It still taste the same! It's the one is enough kind of chocolate. LOL)
