CELEBRATE CHINESE NEW YEAR 2017 “YEAR OF THE ROOSTER” AT ROYAL CHINA NEWS
28 January 2017 marks the start of the Year of the Rooster. To celebrate the occasion, Royal China Restaurants across London will give each table a special red envelope, with some of the envelopes within each restaurant revealing a special gift.
Each lei see, as they are pronounced in Cantonese, will offer a fortune message; with some of the red envelopes containing a prize. The special prizes include a voucher for a complimentary meal up to the value of 100, a bottle of Champagne, and a complimentary glass of wine.
Red envelopes are usually presented at social events such as weddings and the Lunar New Year. The red colour of the envelope symbolises good luck and is said to ward off evil spirits.
The restaurants will also be offering a special Chinese New Year menu and will host Lion Dance performances to celebrate the beginning of the Year of the Rooster.
As is traditional there will be two dancers under a beautiful lion costume, one acting as the head and the other as the body. Dancing to atmospheric music of drums, cymbals and gongs, the lion has a mirror on its head so that evil spirits will be frightened away by their own reflections.
The Lion Dance will take place at the following branches of Royal China. Early booking is advised to avoid disappointment.
