Celebrating
Chinese New Year is a big and special part of our Tsinoy culture. Thus, I decided to join in the festivities at
Solaire Resort and Casino where I witnessed the Lion Dance.
Nothing is more nostalgic to me in welcoming the
Chinese New Year than the long and colorful dancing dragon as it chases the "
Pearl of Wisdom", the dancing lions, the laughing Buddha and the heart-pounding sound of the beating drums.
Starting from the VIP entrance towards the main lobby and various areas of the resort, the dancers exhibited their acrobatic prowess.
There is also a lighting of the money tree at the Resort's atrium.
Join in the festivities as
Solaire Resort offers a
Chinese New Year Weekend Package that's perfect for the family. For only P8,888++ per night inclusive of complimentary parking, wifi access and shuttle service to major shopping malls and P500 gaming credits per adult guest.
The package is available until February 21, 2014 for local residents.
Of course, a celebration must have a lavishing feast. Chef Chaw of Red Lantern presents a special a la carte menu of various Chinese delicacies such as Braised Pork Trotter with Chinese Mushrooms and Black See Moss, Sauteed Prawns with Vegetables and X.O. Sauce and Salmon Fish "Yee Sang" and much more.
You can also purchase the Koi-Fish shaped tikoy at Red Lantern for only P599. The fish symbolizes a plentiful year and tikoy (nian gao) symbolizes a higher year and the stickiness for closer family ties. In you're cooking it at home, you can use my
Tikoy and Egg recipe and
Deep-fried Chinese Lumpia Roll Recipe.
Red Lantern also offers the CNY Cookies for P 499.
