Resorts World Manila (RWM) ushers in the Year of the Earth Pig with an exciting lineup of Oriental treats and activities this February.
One of the best authentic Cantonese restaurants in Metro Manila, Passion at Maxim’s Hotel brings luck to the table with its special set of 8 miniature Koi and gold ingot shaped Tikoy. The lightly sweet and sticky Lunar New Year favorite is the perfect gift for spreading harmony to family and friends and is only available until February 6.
Living up to its reputation as an ideal venue for family feasts, Passion has a special Lunar New Year platter for the month of February. The Lucky Delights platter is loaded with New Zealand beef, sweet and sour eel, prawns, salmon, and chicken dishes and is the perfect addition to a Lunar New Year lauriat.
Hefty eaters will love the Cantonese Unlimited, Passion’s yearlong dimsum lunch buffet which features top quality Cantonese dimsum and entrees for only 788+, making it the perfect celebration meal to ring in a prosperous new year.
An authentic ceremonial lion and dragon dance will also be performed on February 6, 10 AM at the Garden Wing Casino Main Entrance by the Ling Nam Athletic Association. RWM VIPs will be treated to The Grand Lunar New Year Celebration – an exclusive dinner featuring a Yee Sang prosperity toss on February 15.
The Yee Sang Prosperity Toss features a Yee Sang salad – a colorful dish made with raw fish and vegetable strips, as the Chinese words for ‘abundance’ and ‘raw fish’ sound similar.
The Yee Sang is often served as part of a multi-dish dinner, usually as the appetizer due to its symbolism of “good luck” for the New Year. It is typically performed on Renri, the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.
