Hakkasan Restaurants Around the World Celebrate the Year of the Rooster in Honour of Chinese New Year

This Chinese New Year, Hakkasan restaurants around the world will celebrate the Year of the Rooster with a limited edition menu, exclusive cocktail and desserts. All 11 Hakkasan restaurants will continue to honour the Chinese wishing tree tradition inspired by the Lam Tsuen Wishing Trees in Hong Kong. During this auspicious time, guests will be able to share their hopes for the coming year by writing wishes on beautiful red and gold ribbons, and invited to hang them on the iconic Hakkasan lattice cages. The ribbons featuring a bespoke rooster design by London illustrator Kam Tang and limited edition menu will be available to guests from 13th January to 11th February.

To begin the celebrations, guests will receive the Waltzing Collins cocktail featuring Asian spirits such as baijiu and sake, as well as Chinese New Year fruits like mandarin, which symbolizes luck for the new year. The cocktail will be decorated with a striking golden rooster to celebrate the Chinese zodiac inspired by the 'waltz' that the rooster performs whilst trying to attract a female.

Guests around the world will receive the Fortune tale for the Chinese New Year feast, a traditional Chinese prosperity salad that is tossed together at the table in front of the guest featuring roasted chicken, jellyfish and mooli. The dish is commonly eaten during Chinese New Year to begin the festive meal to bring prosperity and fortune. In Las Vegas, this will be followed by exclusive small eats such as Braised Chilean abalone with wind dried oyster and gold leaf, Prosperity toss with crispy chicken and the Hakka steamed dim sum platter featuring har gau, scallop shumai, Chinese chive dumpling and black pepper dumpling.

Hakkasan will provide entertainment believed to bring good luck and fortune in the form of the Chinese lion dance.
