Five-star luxury hotel Marco Polo Ortigas Manila (MPOM) recently ushered in abundance and prosperity for the Year of the Water Rabbit with a special forecast reading by no less than Feng Shui Master Joseph Chau.
A notable figure in Chinese geomancy, Chau has mastered the ancient Asian tradition and created a Feng Shui compass that guides enthusiasts from all over the world to prosperity. He has practised Feng Shui for more than 30 years, becoming a globally acclaimed expert who has held lectures and has been featured on several programs around the world.
The highly anticipated forecast reading took place last January 20, 2023, at the award-winning, authentic Cantonese Lung Hin restaurant located at the 44th floor of the hotel. Master Joseph Chau also held a traditional ceremony and blessing at the ground floor of the hotel on January 22, followed by a grand lion and dragon dance performance at Lung Hin.
Lung Hin also honoured the special occasion with a Lion Dance Set Menu curated by the culinary team of new Chinese Executive Chef Raymond Yeung, which included: Yu Sheng (salmon); White Asparagus, Caviar / Trio Veggie Bean Curd Roll / Special Elephant Shell / Big Boss Barbecue Pork / Crispy Japan Tofu, and Dandan Ying Yang Chicken; Sea Moss Soup with Dried Oyster; Pan Fried Beef Tenderloin Cube in Black Pepper Sauce; Wok Fried Minced Lobster in Golden Cup; Deep Fried Grain Feeding Chicken with Green Onion Oil; Steamed Fried Rice, Roasted Duck, Assorted Dried Seafood in Lotus Leaf; and Lucky Marshmallow Rabbit.
“This Chinese New Year 2023 celebration is our opportunity to welcome auspicious new beginnings and a flow of luck, fortune, and happiness. We are pleased to have a respected and reputable Feng Shui Master bring forth positive energy and blessings to our organization, colleagues, and guests,” said Colin Healy, General Manager of Marco Polo Ortigas Manila. “The festivities also signal the start of a brand new year of the hotel’s service excellence and fun, meaningful experiences for our guests.”
Known as “The Philippines’ First Sky Hotel”, Marco Polo Ortigas Manila stands tall at 45 floors and is centrally located in the vibrant Ortigas Commercial Business District. The Hong Kong-originated hotel continues to be recognized in the global hospitality landscape, coveting the Five-Star Award for its sixth consecutive year in 2022 by Forbes Travel Guide.
