In Chinese tradition, the colour red represents luck, this will be embedded into the Chinese New Year theme at Hakkasan Doha, through red wishing ribbons that will be present for guests to write their wishes for the year ahead. Another important symbol for Chinese New Year is the traditional lucky knot. The Chinese knot symbolises good luck and a prosperous life, the lucky knot will be highlighted on the red wishing ribbons.
The set menu showcases the impressive culinary skills of the Hakkasan chefs, with each dish being a colourful representation of different elements of the Chinese New Year calendar. Standout dishes from the menu include the Golden treasure pockets filled with abalone and wild mushrooms, crafted to resemble a money bag to reflect wealth; and the Diver scallops with taro mousseline and brown butter black bean sauce.
