MENU
Prosperity Yee Sang with Jelly Fish: This vibrant dish is a centerpiece of Chinese New Year celebrations. It's a colorful salad, brimming with shredded vegetables, a mix of crunchy crackers, and tender slices of jellyfish. The highlight is the tossing ceremony, where family members gather around the dish, tossing the ingredients high into the air while making wishes for the new year. This ritual, known as "lo hei," is believed to bring good fortune and prosperity.
Paired with a Spanish Cava: The refreshing and slightly fruity notes of a Spanish Cava can complement the varied flavors and textures of the Yee Sang. The effervescence of the Cava helps cleanse the palate, making it ready for the next bite.
Traditional Steamed Giant Grouper: A symbol of abundance and wealth, this dish features a whole giant grouper, expertly steamed to perfection. Its delicate, white flesh is tender and moist, absorbing the flavors of ginger, scallions, and soy sauce. The fish is traditionally served whole, including the head and tail, symbolizing a good beginning and end for the coming year.
Paired with a Portuguese Vinho Verde: The light, crisp, and slightly effervescent nature of a Vinho Verde from Portugal beautifully complements the delicate flavor of the steamed grouper. Its acidity balances the richness of the fish, enhancing its natural flavors.
Grilled Spanish Iberico Rib: A luxurious addition to the Chinese New Year table, these ribs are made from the prized Iberico pork, known for its rich marbling and deep flavors. The ribs are marinated in a blend of Asian spices and grilled until the meat is succulent and the outside is slightly charred. The smoky aroma and savory taste make this dish a tantalizing treat.
Paired with an Italian Chianti: The robust flavors of grilled Iberico ribs call for a wine with equally strong characteristics. An Italian Chianti, with its bold and fruity profile, stands up to the rich, smoky taste of the ribs, creating a harmonious blend of flavors.
Roasted Duck: A classic dish, the roasted duck is prized for its crispy skin and succulent meat. The duck is often marinated with a blend of five-spice powder, honey, and soy sauce, then roasted to a golden perfection. It's a dish that represents fidelity and is often shared among family members, strengthening bonds and unity.
Paired with a French Pinot Noir: The classic combination of duck and Pinot Noir is universally loved. A French Pinot Noir, with its medium body and notes of red fruit, complements the fatty richness and crispy skin of the roasted duck, balancing the flavors wonderfully.
Wax Meat Rice: This hearty dish is a staple during Chinese New Year. It consists of steamed glutinous rice mixed with aromatic wax meats – Chinese sausages, preserved duck, and pork belly. Each bite offers a blend of savory, sweet, and smoky flavors, making it a comforting and satisfying dish.
Paired with a Spanish Rioja: The complexity and depth of a Spanish Rioja can stand up to the intense flavors of wax meats. The wine's hints of spice and dark fruit marry well with the savory, smoky taste of the rice dish.
Dessert: To end the feast on a sweet note, a variety of desserts are served.
Each of these dishes is not only a delight for the palate but also carries deep cultural significance, making them integral to the joyous celebration of Chinese New Year.
Paired with a variety of dessert wines: Depending on the specific desserts, you can choose from a range of dessert wines. A Moscatel from Portugal for sweeter, richer desserts, a light and sweet Italian Moscato for fruity desserts, or a French Sauternes for creamy or slightly savory sweet dishes.
Each wine selection aims to complement the flavors of the dishes, enhancing the overall dining experience and adding a touch of international flair to the traditional Chinese New Year feast.
