As part of the authentic journey of Liang, guests can enjoy witnessing a traditional performance known as “Kung Fu tea” performed by certified Tea Master Yan Yangchun. Kung Fu tea originated in the Sichuan province as a way to pour hot water in crowded tea houses. Tea Master Yan has been a practicing certified tea master for two years and trained under the mentorship of well-respected teachers. The performance combines sequenced choreography and martial arts while using a traditional long-spouted teapot to pour steaming water onto tea leaves and this process is believed to maximize the flavour and aroma.
The Year of the Rabbit runs from 22 January 2023 to 9 February 2024 and is predicted to be a year of hope. The Rabbit is the fourth sign in Chinese astrology and it is a symbol of longevity, peace and prosperity. The element attached to this year’s Rabbit is water, which provides fluidity, calmness and nourishment.
The Chinese New Year menu at Liang is available from Thursday, 19 January to Sunday, 05 February 2023 for lunch from 12pm to 3pm and dinner 6pm to 11pm.
