Celebration Dishes

The buffet will also feature a number of celebration dishes, or lucky foods. Because when it comes to Chinese New Year, there’s plenty of symbolism involved in what you eat. 

You’ve probably heard that eating fish is a must, and that’s because it’s driven by a meaningful pun — a lucky homophone.

The word for fish, 鱼 (yú), sounds just like the word for surplus, 余 (yú). That’s why the popular blessing “年年有余” (nián nián yǒu yú) — meaning “surplus every year” — is expressed through this delicious tradition. But the symbolism doesn’t stop there.

Dishes like prawns carry their own meaning, representing “有头有尾” (yǒu tóu yǒu wěi) or “having a head and a tail” — a wish to see things through from start to finish. There are dozens of these idioms and likened sayings.

That said, these dishes will be part of the CNY buffet feast, including roasted duck, braised “Snowflake Beef”, steamed hairtail fish, deep-sea perch, yan du xian, and more.
