A NEW YEAR FOR THE MIDDLE KINGDOM
The unique cultures of Thailand and China are melded together in our diverse population, and every first day of the first lunar month in the Chinese calendar the country is proud to celebrate Chinese New Year with family, friends and associates, old and new. At the Millennium Hilton Bangkok, our signature Chinese restaurant Yuan is cooking a storm of tastes from the mystic Orient to mark this auspicious event from 13-15 February 2010.

On 14 February, a troupe of dancers will perform the traditional Lion Dance, prowling through the lobby and the restaurants, offering a visual spectacular of dazzling color and gravity defying leaps.
We’ll be celebrating throughout the hotel, but it is at Yuan that the heart of China will beat most fiercely. Our chef has created a range of menus for you to savor the best of Chinese cuisine. Set menus (from THB 14,000++ to THB 52,000++ for 10 persons ) and a la carte will be available both for lunch and dinner. Alternatively our ever-popular a la carte Dim Sum which is always on offer. For a special culinary experience, Yuan will offer ‘Yu Sheng’ salad with Sea Fish and Lobster, a flavor of China that should never be missed. A special dish served at New Year, it literally translates as ‘Toss of luck’, and a play on the Chinese words gives a second meaning of ‘abundance of wealth and long life’.
Other culinary highlights include Deep-Fried Stuffed Abalone and Asparagus Prawns or even tender Lamb flavored with Black Pepper. Every guest can try their luck with a fortune cookie with complimentary Ang Pao, as well as accommodation at the Millennium Hilton Bangkok itself, are to be won by our luckiest guests.
Raise a glass to the New Year with our unlimited beverage package for THB 999++ per person, with a range of Chinese liquors, wines and special mixes on offer. And of course, this Chinese New Year would not be complete without a sip of the finest tea, served to you by our in-house tea-master.

The property, which is nearing construction completion, will be 5-star international standard and comprise 90 residences with a variety of unit sizes and configurations; there will be 20 one-bed units at around 60 sq.m., 52 two-bed units at 110 sq.m., 14 three-bed units at 140 - 145 sq.m. each and 4 three-bed units at 160 sq.m. each.
Other facilities include a lobby restaurant, a fitness centre and swimming pool, plus some meeting facilities.
“We were very pleased to have had this opportunity to work with the property owner in the selection and appointment of Shama, and are pleased to have been able to introduce Shama as the operator to their first serviced residence in South East Asia,” said R. Keith Humphreys, Director of Hotels & Leisure, Asia, Colliers International. “It’s an important milestone in Shama’s regional growth. Now the management agreement has been signed, Shama will commence work immediately and provide technical services and pre-opening services in order to have the property open by early 2010.”
