Kung Hei Fat Choi!
Cape Panwa Hotel welcomed the Chinese New Year and the Year of the Rabbit with Chef Phudon’s traditional Chinese dishes of roast pig, dim sum and other scrumptious favourites.
The staff dressed in traditional Chinese dress and were happy to have their photograph taken with the guests.
The pool was festooned with Chinese Lanterns and traditional red envelopes, which were actually not used, well Tim tells me that he did not receive an envelope – maybe red envelopes should be handed out to guests next time?
The Chinese buffet dinner started and we were entertained by the inimitable Chaovalit Band as we ate.
Chinese dragons then arrived with an entourage of dancing children which then wove its way around the tables and around the pool dancing to the rhythm of drums. (Editor: I wonder how come nobody fell in? Maybe in the Year of the fish?)
