Where to dine in style this Chinese New Year in Hong Kong
Ring in the Year of the Snake with auspicious dishes at Duddell’s, Man Wah and Ming Pavilion, afternoon tea at The Butterfly Room, and classic puddings from The Peninsula Boutique
1. Duddell’s
This year, Duddell’s is presenting a Chinese New Year feast that creatively reinterprets traditional flavours with the season’s finest ingredients.
If you’re unsure where to begin with the extensive à la carte offerings, opt for the eight-course Chinese New Year set menu (HK$1,588 per person). Notable highlights include double-boiled chicken soup, braised South African abalone four-heads, fried rice with scallop and shrimp, and sweetened red bean cream dumplings.
The highlight, though, is the premium poon choi (HK$3,888 for six persons), a traditional dish that symbolises prosperity, health and happiness. Served in a large pot, it features layers of premium ingredients like braised South African abalone five-heads, pork belly with cuttlefish and radish, and sea cucumber with shiitake mushrooms. Perfect for sharing, it’s an ideal centrepiece for family gatherings.
When: January 20-February 12 for à la carte and set menu, January 25-28 and 30-31 for poon choi
