Enjoy a Chinese New Year feast at House Of Ming, Taj Mahal

Inspired by an age-old legend, the Chinese New Year festivities at House Of Ming pay homage to the three sacred elements that once shielded villagers from the mythical beast Nian—the colour red, radiant lights, and the spark of fire. At the heart of this celebration is a meticulously curated menu that embodies the rich symbolism of Chinese traditions. Experience a mesmerizing live flambé spectacle as drunken prawns are set ablaze with Hua Tuo wine, followed by a decadent cognac-flamed chocolate pudding. Honouring the Year of the Snake, the menu presents delicacies that echo its grace and wisdom—Prawn Cheung Fun, with silken rice noodles draped elegantly like a serpent in motion, and the Assorted Mushroom Cheung Fun, a tribute to the snake’s deep-rooted connection with the earth.
