Dating back over 2,000 years ago, during the Spring Lantern Festival, which dates back to 20, young people carrying lanterns in the streets were chaperoned in hope of finding love. The brightest lanterns were symbolic of good luck and hope. Over time, the Festival no longer has such implications in most of Mainland China, but it is still commercialised as the Chinese equivalent of Valentine's Day in Hong Kong, as well as Malaysia and Taiwan.
Executive Chef Lau Yiu Fai’s Cantonese Valentine’s menu includes Golden and Fresh Scallop with Fruit Vinegar, Double Boiled Imperial Bird’s Nest Soup with Fish Maw and Bamboo Pith and Golden Stuffed Crab Shell with Crabmeat. This is followed by Steamed Garoupa Fillet Rolls with Yunnan Ham, Ginger and Spring Onion, followed by Simmered Carabinero Shrimp and Egg with Chili Sauce.
