The
Grand Dame's chandeliers were lit red and gold to welcome the Lunar New Year
last January 31st.
The morning was greeted by the animated performers of the famous Lion and
Dragon dance as they dance to the vibrant beats of drums and cymbals. It is said
to sweep away bad luck and attracts good fortune to all people who watch it
dance. The Lion and Dragon dance were accompanied by a masked monk and fireworks
as per tradition.
The momentous tradition were held at the lobby to accommodate the guests and
public viewer for the Blessing of Hong Kong Based, Feng Shui Master Vittorio
Chau.
Patrons enjoyed the wooden Chinese imperial horses called as Xin Nian Kua Le
and all were given a chance to write their wishes and hang them on the peach
tree.
Feng Shui Master Vittorio Chau performed a blessing as many people
participated on the traditional blessing for good fortune and prosperity. Some
people have had their bracelets, amulets and other stuffs blessed so as to be
lucky in their line of business.
A lunch party was announced at Mabuhay Palace Restaurant to experience luxury
dining experience and taste the lucky foods that were recommended by Mr. Joseph
Chau as we should eat #lechon, #shrimp, #fish and #vegetables to be prosperous.
Looking forward to a new prosperous, healthy and abundant year as this is
year is said to be a "lucky year".
