Hotel Yak & Yeti celebrated the Chinese New Year, or China’s all-important Spring Festival, between February 15 and 17. According to the Chinese 12-year animal zodiac cycle, this is the Year of the Dog. Yak & Yeti was decked up for the Spring Festival and served special Chinese dishes in a three-day lunch and dinner buffet event at the Sunrise Restaurant.

The 'seven lucky dishes' served at the event are highly symbolic: Noodles sym­bolize happiness and longevity; dump­lings and spring rolls stand for wealth; tangyuan (sweet rice balls) are for family togetherness; tiangao (glutinous rice cake) for income or status; tangerines and oranges for fullness and wealth; and fish for increase in prosperity.
