Treat yourself to an elegant Chinese meal to welcome the Year of the Dog



There was little question we would choose Cantonese cuisine as the target of our next culinary quest to celebrate Chinese New Year. The challenge is always deciding which to select amongst so many worthy options. We only not aim to just dine, but also aiming to transport ourselves to new dining experience like sitting in a time machine.

Lung Hin – a Cantonese restaurant located at 44th level of the five-starred Marco Polo Ortigas Manila in bustling Manila serving exquisite Cantonese food and fresh seafood made by its own Hong Kong chefs.

Lung Hing’s décor is elegantly modern Chinese, its seating is spacious and comfortable, its service is attentive and friendly, and its dishes are prepared exquisitely for flavour and presentation. Under the helm of the Chinese Executive Chef, Lai Cheuk Kou (we known him as Chef Terry), it introduces a new selection of authentic Cantonese dishes, together with the classics with its new a la carte menu, from his 36 years of experience from different well-known restaurants and hotels around China and Hong Kong.

Lung Hin’s Prosperity Toss with Salmon Yu Sheng

Cantonese Dining at Lung Hin, Marco Polo Ortigas Manila

Yu Sheng or Yee Sang (popularly in Malaysia and Singapore) is basically a Chinese salad dish with raw fish/jelly fish and a special sauce, while Lo Hei is when you toss the salad as high as possible using chopsticks while shouting out good stuff you hope would happen in the coming year.




For those of you who are wondering why we play our salad during Chinese New Year, check our video below.

How to do the prosperity toss. * The fruits and vegetables around represents the gems in life * The salmon represents abundance in life * Adding lemon/kalamansi juice represents good health for you, and to your family. * Add ground peanuts, which represents a home filled with gold and silver, eternal youth and longevity in life. * The sesame seeds represents flourishing in business. * Add oil, to represents money flowing in from all directions, and increasing profits 10,000 times 💰💰💰 * Pepper represents silver dusts, more money 💰 and things of value * Crispy wanton represents gold bars and more wealth throughout the year. * Add sweet plum sauce to represents sweetness in life, including love life of you, and your family. Then toss it higher doing it 7 times, while shouting "lo hei yee sang" to represents high prosperity and abundance. So we don't play play our food. We aim for good fortune! #Gongxifacai #cny2018 #yearofthedog2018 #yearofthedog #2018 #loheiyeesang #prosperitytoss #fortune #chinesenewyear

Lung Hin’s Steamed Shrimp dumplings with Gold Leaf

Our lunch started with the Lung Hin’s appetizer, the Prosperity Toss with Salmon Yu Sheng, and tasty Peking Duck with Osmanthus Jelly on Potato Chip, and some Steamed Shrimp dumplings with Gold Leaf.

The perfecting blends of various auspicious ingredients, and the sweetness of Lung Hin’s yu sheng promises a good year ahead. The peking duck’s meat is so-tasty and perfectly balances with the osmanthus that is good in my mouth. Of course it is hard to miss the famous steamed shrimp and its auspicious gold leaf, which I truly enjoyed with served jasmine tea.

Then finally, they served us the Lung Hin’s newest dish, the Braised South African Abalone with Supreme Oyster Sauce, another auspicious dish of this year.




The abalone is considered to be a fine ingredient in the world of culinary, which are indulged only in special occasions due to limited supply and with utmost preparation, thus it commands a high value. The abalones are rich with multiple health benefits which includes strengthening of immune system, eyes, liver, kidneys and others.
