No holiday season in Hong Kong is complete without the big family gatherings that accompany every Lunar New Year celebration. This year, Sheraton Hong Kong Tung Chung has got you covered from all sides, whether its enjoying the cornucopian poon choi on offer at Yue or devouring a live backyard barbecue at the Tung Chung Kitchen of the Four Points by Sheraton Hong Kong Tung Chung hotel.

If you and your family are looking forward to enjoying traditional dishes, contemporary Cantonese restaurant Yue has you covered. Executive Chinese chef Jacky Chung Chi-keung (Cuisine Cuisine, Lei Garden) brings 35 years of culinary expertise to this year’s traditional menus.

At HK$2,288 for four persons, diners can enjoy roast suckling pig, bird’s nest soup, fried spotted grouper fillet, roasted chicken, glutinous rice with cured meats and red bean soup with rice dumplings. The HK$4,688 menu for six features the suckling pig, braised oyster and conpoy, roast pigeon, stir-fried prawn with salted egg yolk and steamed cod, in addition to the glutinous rice and red bean soup courses.

However, no Lunar New Year celebration is complete without poon choi. Yue’s Sumptuous Festive Poon Choi will raise any family gathering to the next level and includes six heads of African abalone, fish maw, dried oysters, giant tiger prawn, pork knuckle and belly, poached chicken, duck, Chinese yam and more.

The poon choi is available until February 28, 2023, at HK$1,688 for four and must be booked at least one week in advance.

All three come in at HK$298 each, with an early bird offer of 20 per cent off until January 5, 2023.
