There isn't any particular linkage between strawberry, Valentine & Chinese New Year.
However, this year Chinese New Year is the same day as Valentine, & I made heart-shaped strawberry yogurt mousse cakes, this became a wonderful desserts for this particular day!
This year is a year of Tiger!
Wish everyone have a happy Chinese New Year & a wonderful Valentine!
