Easter Celebrations & Chinese Traditions
Despite the fact that Easter is not formally recognised as a public holiday in China, millions of Chinese christians attend church services and celebrations, and gifts such as hampers and easter eggs are usually exchanged within these communities.
In China, the catholic community that celebrates Easter also has a tradition of decoratively painting eggs as a way to celebrate themes such as rebirth and fertility.
The most celebrated holiday in China is the Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, and it typically falls on different dates between January and February each year.
While Easter is not a popular holiday in China, we still take joy in creating great experiences for those that do celebrate it. That’s why we’d like to bring our delicious authentic chinese dishes to our UK guests during this time.
Our Chef’s Cooking Techniques
Cooking techniques, such as steaming, have been used for thousands of years in China and it holds a lot of cultural significance in Chinese tradition. It’s highly valued to enhance the natural flavours and preserve the nutrients in the food.
This technique has also been used by our chef to create delicious and aromatic dishes that you’ll discover on our Easter Set Menu, where each meal is lovingly made and artfully presented to ensure you’ll enjoy a memorable night.
