Luck is in the air with our Lo Hei salad

Lo Hei salad - a very special dish!

Guests joining us to celebrate Chinese New Year on Thursday 19th February will be able to enjoy a very special dish as part of the evening’s ‘Double Happiness’ menu – this traditional Lo Hei (撈起) salad.

Lo Hei is a fortune- and prosperity-bringing dish especially popular at Chinese New Year. Its origins date back more than 750 years to the days of the Song Dynasty, when fishermen along the coast of China would celebrate the seventh day of Chinese New Year, known as Renri or ‘everyone’s birthday’, with this fresh fish and diced vegetable dish.
