Celebrate the Year of the Rooster @ Hakkasan SF

This Chinese New Year, Hakkasan restaurants around the world will celebrate the Year of the Rooster with a limited-edition menu, exclusive cocktail and desserts. All 11 Hakkasan restaurants will continue to honor the Chinese wishing tree tradition inspired by the Lam Tsuen Wishing Trees in Hong Kong. During this auspicious time, guests will be able to share their hopes for the coming year by writing wishes on beautiful red and gold ribbons, and invited to hang them on the iconic Hakkasan lattice cages. The ribbons featuring a bespoke rooster design by London illustrator Kam Tang and limited edition menu will be available to guests from January 13th – February 11th.

To begin the celebrations, guests will receive the Waltzing Collins cocktail featuring Asian spirits such as baijiu and sake, as well as Chinese New Year fruits like mandarin, which symbolizes luck for the new year. The cocktail will be decorated with a striking golden rooster to celebrate the Chinese zodiac inspired by the ‘waltz’ that the rooster performs whilst trying to attract a female.

Guests around the world will receive the Fortune tale for the Chinese New Year feast, a traditional Chinese prosperity salad that is tossed together at the table in front of the guest featuring roasted chicken, jellyfish and mooli. The dish is commonly eaten during Chinese New Year to begin the festive meal to bring prosperity and fortune. In San Francisco, this will be followed by exclusive dishes such as Braised abalone with fat choy and dried oyster; Wok-fry tiger prawns with lemongrass and chili; Steam Dover Sole with pumpkin, shiitake mushrooms; Hakka steamed dim sum platter; and more.

The menu ends with the Golden feather, an innovative dessert featuring a ginger panna cotta, mandarin and caramelized white chocolate. The Chinese New Year menu is priced at $128 per person.
