Bangkok--31 Jan--Millennium Hilton Bangkok
The unique cultures of Thailand and China are melded together in our diverse population, and every first day of the first lunar month in the Chinese calendar the country is proud to celebrate Chinese New Year with family, friends and associates, old and new. At the Millennium Hilton Bangkok, our signature Chinese restaurant Yuan is cooking a storm of tastes from the mystic Orient to mark this auspicious event from 2-4 February 2011.
As you enter Yuan restaurant, your spirits will be roused by the distinct sounds of the Guzheng, a breathtaking Chinese instrument. On 3 February, a troupe of dancers will perform the traditional Lion Dance, prowling through the lobby and the restaurants, offering a visual spectacular of dazzling color and gravity defying leaps.
We’ll be celebrating throughout the hotel, but it is at Yuan that the heart of China will beat most fiercely. Our chef has created a range of menus for you to savor the best of Chinese cuisine. Set menus (from THB 17,500 to THB 61,200 nett for 10 persons) and a la carte will be available both for lunch and dinner. Alternatively our ever-popular a la carte Dim Sum which is always on offer. For a special culinary experience, Yuan will offer ‘Yu Sheng’ salad with Sea Fish and Lobster, a flavor of China that should never be missed. A special dish served at New Year, it literally translates as ‘Toss of luck’, and a play on the Chinese words gives a second meaning of ‘abundance of wealth and long life’.
Other culinary highlights include Deep-Fried Stuffed Abalone and Asparagus Prawns or even tender Lamb flavored with Black Pepper. Every guest receives a complimentary Ang Pao, as well as THB 888 cash vouchers for every guest on the table are to be won by our luckiest guests daily.
Raise a glass to the New Year with our unlimited beverage package of Chinese Tea and soda for THB 200 nett per person. And of course, this Chinese New Year would not be complete without a sip of the finest tea, served to you by our in-house tea-master. Adept at preparing blends of exotic teas and then pouring them from a gleaming golden teapot with a meter-long spout for a show of the utmost elegance and skill — our tea masters who make a trip to Yuan as unforgettable as the New Year itself.
