Sumptuous and culturally significant, the family reunion dinner, served on Spring Festival eve, is a 4000-year-old tradition passed down through generations in China. A hearty feast, the dinner is also a historical record of Chinese traditions and culture, with every dish containing its own auspicious symbolism.
Though different regions have their own unique menu for the reunion dinner, all dishes are created to give blessings for the coming year. Preparing such a grand meal isn’t easy, but with our exclusive New Year menu, we hope to ensure your food and décor are on point this year!
