Celebrate Lunar New Year with Saicho
Exclusive Dining Experiences in Hong Kong
The Lunar New Year is a time for gathering, indulging, and celebrating tradition with a modern twist. This year, Saicho is bringing a sparkling touch to festive dining, partnering with One Duck Lane at Hyatt Centric Victoria Harbour and SOL Restaurant in Central to craft exclusive Lunar New Year experiences that pair our refined teas with culinary excellence.
One Duck Lane: Peking Duck Reimagined
At One Duck Lane, guests can savour the art of timeless Chinese cuisine with the spotlight on their signature Peking Duck. The experience begins tableside with the chef’s expert carving, offering the perfect balance of crisp skin, tender breast, and succulent leg. For a modern flourish, the duck is also presented as Foie Gras & Truffle Parfait, and finally, a comforting Poached Rice in Supreme Duck Soup completes the journey.
Elevate the celebration with the Peking Duck Set Menu for Two (HK$1,488), featuring standout dishes like Hot and Sour Soup with Shredded Fish Maw and Steamed King Razor Clam with Garlic and Glass Noodles.
When it comes to pairings, Saicho Osmanthus sparkles particularly brightly alongside the duck. Its elegant notes of apricot, cucumber, and custard apple create a sophisticated, palate-cleansing balance, harmonising beautifully with the rich, umami flavours of the meal.
SOL Restaurant: Modern Korean Meets Sparkling Tea
For those seeking a contemporary twist on tradition, SOL Restaurant offers a modern Korean tasting menu elevated with Western culinary techniques. Guests can enjoy three menu tiers. Discovery (HK$888), Experience (HK$1,088), and Signature (HK$1,188) each enhanced by a dedicated Saicho Pairing experience (HK$388 for 4 glasses), a refined non-alcoholic alternative to wine.
Highlights include:
- GYERAN-JJIM (egg curd | mushroom | pine nut) paired with Saicho Jasmine, where floral and fruity notes elevate the delicate flavours.
- JEONBOK (Jeju abalone | maesaengi | miyeok) complemented by Saicho Hojicha, whose roasted, nutty character balances the abalone’s briny depth.
- SAMGYE-TANG (spring chicken | black garlic | garlic leaf) enhanced by Saicho Darjeeling, adding gentle tannins to the aromatic broth.
- BORI (barley | chocolate | tonka) paired with Saicho Osmanthus, linking dessert and tea in a seamless celebration of flavour.
This exclusive pairing highlights the versatility of sparkling tea, demonstrating how Saicho can elevate every course with depth and elegance.
