Boost Your Luck for Chinese New Year: 12 Zodiac Fortune Dishes to Delight

With less than a week to go before Lunar New Year, why not celebrate this year’s reunion feast at a hotel? Not only can you enjoy the exquisite cooking of five-star chefs, but you can also reward mom for her hard work all year. This year, Farglory Evergreen Resort Hualien is not only featuring dishes made with fresh, local ingredients, but has also created 12 Zodiac Fortune Dishes—perfect for the whole family to enjoy a reunion meal filled with luck and blessings, and to wish for good fortune in the new year.

The lucky and prosperous 12 Zodiac Fortune Dishes are designed based on the Five Elements theory of food therapy. For example, the Rat and Pig, which belong to the Water element, should eat more white foods; the Ox, Dragon, Goat, and Dog, belonging to the Earth element, can benefit from yellow, earth-associated foods; the Tiger and Rabbit, part of the Wood element, thrive with water-generated Wood energy—hence foods that are mostly black, representing Water, are recommended. The Snake and Horse, associated with the Fire element, require the support of Wood (which feeds Fire) to attract wealth, so green vegetables are ideal. Lastly, the Monkey and Rooster, belonging to the Metal element, can boost their energy and improve luck by eating more chicken.

Additionally, to celebrate the resort’s 10th anniversary, it has launched the “Royal Treatment” package for the Presidential Suite during the Chinese New Year holiday period, available for only 5 days from January 23 to January 27. The package includes one night in the Presidential Suite, two Western-style buffet breakfasts, two chef-prepared organic health dinners, two ocean park tickets, one English-style afternoon tea for two, two drink vouchers, one Couples’ SPA gemstone treatment, one 45cm Farglory Aroma Bear, complimentary use of the in-room MINI BAR, and 20% off airport and station transfer services—letting guests enjoy the charm of a five-star hotel.
