Overview

Lunar New Year is just around the corner. It's one of the biggest celebrations in the Asia-Pacific region and The Fullerton Hotel Sydney is helping to bring the festivities to the Harbour City with limited edition Lunar New Year menus and a celebratory lion dance.

It's not an exaggeration to say that Lunar New Year is a food-centric holiday. You can get in on the spirit of the occasion by sampling the specials that'll be on the menu at The Place, The Fullerton Sydney's in-house restaurant, between Monday, January 27 and Sunday, February 8. There'll be festive favourites including XO pipis, Eight Treasure dim sum baskets and a prosperity salad called Lo Hei, a quintessential Lunar New Year dish in Singapore and Malaysia.

The Lunar New Year also ushers in a new zodiac sign and what better way to celebrate than with a playful nod to tradition? The Fullerton Sydney's Lunar New Year Afternoon Tea offers a delightful array of pastries that blend classic flavours with innovative twists. Indulge in a yuzu gummy snake, a whimsical treat that pairs a distinctly Asian citrus with the nostalgic joy of a childhood favourite, and enjoy a collection of inventive pastries, including delicate verrines with refreshing rambutan and coconut, and light choux pastries infused with citrus, and crunchy peanut tarts.

If you're wondering where the savoury morsels are, fret not — the Fullerton's afternoon tea includes dishes that pay homage to flavours originating from all over Asia, including chilli crab, Peking duck wraps, BBQ pork mini sandwiches and century duck egg custard. The special afternoon tea is available daily between 12–4pm, from January 27 until March 2 from $78 per person.

No Lunar New Year celebration is complete without the percussive delights of a lion dance. The dance is a cultural ritual of Lunar New Year celebrations and believed to bring in good fortunes and joy to all for a prosperous and auspicious year. Promising to usher in the new lunar year with a roar, The Fullerton Sydney's lion dance is an unmissable, one-day-only celebration taking place on Friday, January 31 between 1–2.30pm.
