Round Fruits
According to traditional Chinese Feng Shui, round fruits symbolize money, so having these fruits at the start of a new year can bring fortune and prosperity. This belief has led to the tradition of serving 12 round fruits during the Philipino New Year celebrations, one for each month of the new year. Though this number may vary based on variations in belief, the more than two dozen round fruits mentioned in the list below should be enough to choose from.
