Lunar New Year - Year of the Snake
Tuesday 07 January, 2025
The Lunar New Year is a time to gather with loved ones, reflect on past achievements, and welcome prosperity and happiness into the year ahead. On January 29, 2025, we will step into the Year of the Snake, a symbol of wisdom, intuition, and transformation. Celebrating this special occasion at Kiaora Place in Double Bay offers the perfect blend of tradition and sophistication.
Dine with Elegance
What better way to celebrate the New Year than by enjoying an exquisite dinner at RUMA Dining with family and friends. Their menu features refined dishes that perfectly match the auspicious spirit of the season. Delight in their beef short rib, lemon ravioli or indulge in the delicate flavours of their grilled salmon or King Prawn Egg Noodle. Alternatively, embrace a modern twist on tradition at Sushi Maru. Relish dishes like the Dragon Roll, symbolizing strength and renewal, or their sashimi platters for a feast of freshness and abundance.
Bring Good Fortune Home
Enhance your celebrations with time-honoured traditions like incorporating Feng Shui practices into your home. Begin by decluttering to invite positive energy and placing red décor elements to signify luck and prosperity. To welcome the Snake’s transformative energy, consider adding symbols of water—like a small fountain or artwork—to your living space. To elevate your home’s ambiance, visit Maison DB, Mud Australia, or Zjoosh
at Kiaora Place for stylish and meaningful homewares.
Gift-giving is another cherished Lunar New Year tradition. Red envelopes (hongbao) filled with money are classic tokens of good fortune. For a modern twist, why not create luxe hampers featuring items such as boutique teas, fruits or sweets. Ensure you follow cultural etiquette by wrapping gifts in red or gold paper for luck and present gifts with both hands as a sign of respect.
A New Year of Possibilities
By embracing time honoured traditions and integrating modern practices you can immerse your family in the spirit of the Lunar New Year and let the Snake’s qualities guide you towards a year of prosperity, wisdom and happiness.
