In honor of the Year of the Dragon, The Peninsula Boutique unveils a limited-edition line of Lunar New Year edible fine chocolate trees as auspicious gifts for family and friends!
Edible to the core, Pastry Chef Annalyn Solano and her team have created two Chinese New Year-themed trees – a Mandarin Orange Tree and a Golden Fortune Money Tree. Painstakingly molded and finished by hand, even the “soil,” trunk, branches, leaves, and fruit of the Mandarin Orange Tree and the goldfish-embossed gold coins of the Golden Fortune Money Tree are made of chocolate.
The mandarin orange fruits are filled with an intense mandarin-flavored ganache while the gold-dusted coins embossed with lucky goldfish are made using dark chocolate.
The large Mandarin Orange Tree and Golden Fortune Money Tree are available at The Peninsula Boutique for P 3,888 while the small trees are P 2,888 (inclusive of taxes).
Also available are mandarin orange, green tea and lemon, mango jasmine,
rum, and strawberry Chinese New Year Chocolate Pralines for P 88 each

Toss High for Good
Luck with The Lobby’s Traditional Lo Hei Prosperity Ritual
February
9 – 10
Lunch
and Dinner
The
Lobby
There will be a big and delicious platter waiting in the middle of The Lobby’s dining tables this Chinese New Year for guests eager to welcome the Year of the Dragon! First to be tossed into the platter are slices of smoked salmon, with everyone cheering nin nin yau yu (“let there be abundance every year”). Then the carrots go in, followed by a roar of hong wen dong tau (“good luck”). Then everyone puts in their chopsticks and mixes the ingredients together, tossing them as high as they can. This goes on for a while, as various components of the traditional Chinese New Year lo hei — or prosperity toss — are mixed and thrown in, and the higher they are mixed and lifted, the more good luck there will be in the new year.
One of the many colorful traditions practiced during Chinese New Year celebrations, The Lobby guests will have the opportunity to participate in a festive lo hei ritual from February 9 to 10 that, aside from bringing friends and family together, invokes good wishes for the year ahead with a colorful salad where the ingredients used represent blessings of wealth, health, and happiness.
The Peninsula Chinese New Year lo hei
is available for lunch and dinner at The Lobby on February 9 and 10 for P 5,888
(exclusive of taxes).
