Auspicious set meal for Spring Festival

Noble Court Cantonese restaurant at Grand Hyatt Beijing offers a special set menu for coming Spring Festival. The restaurant has designed an auspicious set meal including raw fish salad, and sautéed rice cake with coconut flavor.

Lo Hei, Cantonese for laoyusheng, means “tossing luck”. It has a main ingredient of salmon sashimi, sided with vegetable and fruit slices of various colors, and topped with sesame, mashed peanut, five spices powder and pepper powder.

When all the ingredients are put in a big plate, all diners will stand and toss the salad to mix everything together. While doing that they will say good wishes for the year.

The raw fish salad at Noble Court follows the most traditional southeast Asian method. There are imported salmon, besides white turnip and carrot slices, and a total of 20 ingredients.

Niangao, or rice cake, is a dessert steamed with rice powder. Niangao means "better each year", and is popular throughout China. Noble Court’s rice cake has a golden crust and soft inside, very suitable for families to share during the festival.

The set meal costs 588 yuan per head, plus 15 percent surcharge. 010-8518-1234
