Valentine’s Day: Our Traditions In China
Just like in the UK, we celebrate Valentine’s Day in China on February 14th. The day is celebrated with romantic date nights, an exchange of flowers, gifts, chocolates and lots of delicious authentic Chinese dishes. We also celebrate the Qixi Festival on this date, whose traditions also follow a story of romance.
The story goes like this: in ancient Chinese mythology, Niulang, a poor cowherd, fell in love with Zhinü, a fairy and the Goddess’s daughter. They married secretly and had two children. When the Goddess discovered this, she forced Zhinü back to heaven. Niulang followed her using his ox’s hide, but the Goddess separated them by creating the Milky Way – she used her hairpin and slashed it across the sky to magically create our galaxy. The lovers were only allowed to meet once a year, on the seventh night of the seventh moon, when magpies form a bridge across the sky.
In China, there are common traditions that arise in this festival, such as praying at local temples, indulging in delicious food and partaking in rituals. So, this time of year is certainly about romance, cherishing the time we have together and celebrating our relationship – we want to give you the space to do this in our ambient Blue restaurant.
Our Key Romantic Dishes From Our Valentine’s Set Menu
Our dishes are a harmonious blend of the sweet and savory: created with our expert chefs and their aromatic ingredients, our meals are a perfect representation of China, its culture, history and landscapes. You’ll be able to see exactly why it will make your Valentine’s evening special as we explore some of our key dishes from our set menu.
Starters
Our succulent starters consist of an array of options to choose from, including our “love in every bite” sharing platter. We have our amazing Kataifi Dragon Rolls, made with sushi rice, shrimp, avocado and spicy sauces for a crunchy and impactful way to start the evening.
If you’re fancying something crunchy and delicious to start off with on Valentine’s Day, we also have our Golden King Prawn Toast that’s served on an artisan maple leaf dish. It’s lovingly made with aromatic king prawn paste and coated with layers of sesame seeds.
Mains
For our main course, we have a selection of mouth-watering dishes to choose from. Whether you’re treating your special someone, or hinting to your partner that this is the place you should go for Valentine’s Day, you’ll sure be impressed by our aromatic main courses such as our Chicken In Lychee Sauce.
Blending the tender crunch of the chicken with the sweetness of the lychee sauce, this meal is a great follow-up from one of our delicious starters. Presented with a delicate pansy flower, our meals go beyond your expectations for both taste and aesthetics.
Inspired by our oceans, we also offer our stir-fried King Prawns with Asparagus. To have an authentic sense of Chinese tradition on your valentine’s evening, this dish is truly one to remember – stir-frying is a traditional cooking technique that’s been used for thousands of years in China. Essentially, it’s an important way for us to preserve the colours, flavours and textures so you can get a sense of the healing properties and the taste of the food.
Desserts
Our beautiful desserts are sure to put a smile on both you and your partner’s face at the end of the night. Our matcha oreo cake combines both the earthy tones of matcha and the sweet crunch of oreos into one delicious sweet treat, and it’s perfect for those who are feeling adventurous.
Alternatively, if you’re someone who loves sticking with their familiar home comforts, our salted caramel orea cakes, crème brûlée and vanilla ice cream are a perfect way to remember your valentine’s dining experience with us – a night that’s perfect for lovebirds!
