As part of the much anticipated spring celebrations to mark the Lunar New Year, the owners of the city’s Asia Market have curated a series of special experiences which this year place Chinese customs, culture, and cuisine centre-stage.
Speaking ahead of the 2025 festivities, Asia Market’s TV chef, and commercial director, Eva Pau says, “We are embracing the spirit of tradition, drawing inspiration from my family’s deep-rooted Chinese heritage. We believe that celebrating our cultural roots is not just about honouring our past, but also sharing the joy and excitement of these traditions with the wider community.”
In keeping with that ambition, some of he many events to look forward to include a Chinese Whispers Afternoon Tea experience at Bewley’s on Grafton Street on the first two Sundays in February (Feb 1st and 8th), and a lavish Lunar New Year Banquet featuring eleven dishes as part of a homestyle sharing feast at Good World Restaurant on Thursday February 6th.
The Lunar New Year runs until February 12th 2025.
