Chinese New Year 2018: Unsure how to celebrate in style?
In the Chinese calendar, 2018 is the Year of the Dog. The Chinese New Year, which is figuratively and literally a movable feast, will take place on the 16th February 2018 and will be celebrated all around the globe.
The common greeting or toast is “Happy New Year” which is most commonly heard in Cantonese or Mandarin. If you would like to propose a toast or politely respond to one in the same language, we propose “Happy New Year” in Cantonese is “San Nin Faai Lok” (which is pronounced san knee fy lock) and in Mandarin it is “Xin Nian Kuai Le” (pronounced sing nee-ann koo-why ler).

This banquet has a wide range of dishes that are chosen for a variety of different reasons, from family or childhood favourites to dishes that reflect and encourage wealth and well-being. Dishes are traditionally accompanied with tea, but increasingly toasts are made with drinks that reflect wealth and success, and no drink greater reflects this than a fine rare and old Scotch Whisky.
