Bangkok (Thailand) – January 9, 2017 (travelindex) – The JW Marriott Hotel Bangkok welcomes the Year of the Rooster 2017 with a range of culinary delights. Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival in modern Chinese, is one of the most important festivals in the Chinese lunar calendar and is considered a significant holiday for the Chinese people.

Begin your Chinese New Year celebrations with a special cake called Nian Gao. This cake symbolizes growing prosperity and good fortune. Eating Nian Gao is considered lucky, as its name is a homonym for "higher year." Therefore, Nian Gao is a popular New Year's gift. This year, our talented chefs at Man Ho Restaurant have prepared delicious Chinese New Year treats: Nian Gao, a traditional steamed glutinous rice cake shaped like a koi carp, and the "longevity bun," which is said to bring good luck and prosperity.

Chinese New Year is an occasion for Chinese families to gather for their annual family meal and welcome the coming year. The JW Marriott Hotel Bangkok is the perfect place to indulge in culinary delights and receive good fortune and prosperity. Visit the Man Ho Chinese Restaurant and the Marriott Café and experience exceptional cuisine of undeniable authenticity.
