With much enthusiasm, the 200 guests tossed and shouted for good luck, abundance and prosperity for the year ahead. Auspicious number combinations were planned for this Yee Sang set up, where the 2 dragons symbolized two-fold blessings, the 28 chefs represented the term "Yih Fatt' which means "prosperity with ease" while the 132 or "Yatt Sang Yih" in Cantonese is translated to "a smooth sailing easy life".
For the Lunar New Year season, the hotel also arranged for special appearances of calligraphy masters at the hotel lobby, who brought to life the graceful strokes and auspicious Chinese characters on sheets of red rice paper, which guests could take home.
