The iconic Summer Palace restaurant has long been celebrated for bringing authentic Cantonese flavours from Hong Kong to the heart of Bangkok, earning loyalty among local diners and international visitors alike. This year’s Chinese New Year programme elevates that legacy further, offering guests an opportunity to gather with family and loved ones while honouring age-old customs through thoughtfully designed festive menus. From mid-February, the restaurant transforms into a hub of prosperity-inspired dining, combining elegant surroundings with culinary storytelling that reflects abundance, unity, and renewal. This Bangkok Hotels Food Promotions news report highlights how carefully curated dining concepts continue to define seasonal luxury in the Thai capital.
A Culinary Tribute to Prosperity and Tradition
At the center of the celebration are two specially crafted set menus conceptualized by Chef Shui Wing Yau, Head Chef of Summer Palace. Drawing from decades of Cantonese expertise, Chef Yau has designed menus that balance premium ingredients with meaningful symbolism. Both menus begin with the traditional Lo Hei duck salad, a ritual dish associated with prosperity and shared joy, encouraging diners to toss the ingredients together while making wishes for the year ahead.
The Emperor Set Menu, created for intimate groups of four to six guests, showcases refined comfort through dishes such as fish maw soup with scallops and chicken, sweet and sour prawns prepared with precise balance, and steamed grouper finished in classic soy sauce. Rich braised pork trotters with lotus root and dried oysters follow, symbolizing strength and good fortune, before the meal concludes with fragrant fried rice featuring Chinese sausage and taro. Dessert arrives as a warming red bean soup with black sesame glutinous rice balls, offering a gentle and auspicious finish.
