Embracing the theme “Gallop into Prosperity,” the City of Firsts ignites a fiery tradition brimming with festivities and vibrant celebrations of Chinese culture, welcoming shoppers and families to a prosperous year ahead.
From 14 to 17 February, the Ride of Fortune at Green Gate, near Smart Araneta Coliseum, lets visitors tour iconic landmarks and soak in the lively streetscape aboard a royal horse carriage — perfect for this Year of the Horse and love.
Celebrations truly sparkle at the table, starting with Newport World Resorts’ Lunar New Year feasts, designed for sharing and connection. Happy 8 launches its Dim Sum All-You-Can, featuring 34 handcrafted delights such as Roasted Pork Belly, Pan-Fried Chinese Gyoza with Chili Garlic Sauce, and Deep-Fried Shrimp and Pork Wontons — turning lunch into a joyous gathering of favorites.
Over at the Michelin-recognized Man Ho in Manila Marriott Hotel, prosperity flows through communal rituals: join the Lo Hei prosperity toss at P5,888 nett for five or P8,888 nett for 10, savor the Prosperity Dimsum Set (P2,188 nett for 12 pieces), or indulge in Poon Choi (P25,888 nett for five).

Kaokee brings Singapore and Malaysia’s beloved Lo Hei tradition — “tossing up good fortune” — to the Philippines. Their Lo Hei Noodles feature egg noodles tossed with enoki mushrooms, pomelo, carrots, cucumbers and other auspicious ingredients symbolizing longevity, harmony and abundance. Gather friends, lift your chopsticks high while shouting well-wishes (the higher the toss, the bigger the luck) and dig in. Priced at P588 for three to five pax, it’s exclusive to Kaokee Jupiter at The Belamy House in Makati City until 28 February. Plus, order the noodles or hit a P3,000 minimum spend to score a special angpao with vouchers like a P500 gift certificate, a free box of six Egg Tarts, or a free Hainanese Chicken Set.
