Chinese New Year is on Valentine’s Day, February 14. If you haven’t decided where to go for Chinese New Year’s Eve yet, I might just have the perfect place for you to celebrate it!
Mandarin Oriental, Manila will be playing host to the celebration of the new Year of the Golden Tiger on February 13 at 10pm onwards! Adult tickets to the celebration are priced at Php 2,688 for adults, and Php 988 for kids. The purchase of these tickets will give you exclusive access to all the festivities *including fireworks display!!*, a seat at the midnight lauriat (which consists of Tin Hau’s exquisite specialties– a MUST!), as well as a copy of master geomancer Joseph Chau‘s 2010 Year of the Golden Tiger forecast (this book alone will cost Php 398 at the Lobby Shop and Mandarin Deli, so the ticket is well worth its price!!).
For more information on Mandarin Oriental, Manila’s Chinese New Year activities, call the hotel directly at (+632) 750 8888 or email them at momnl-reservations@mohg.com. Details are also available on Facebook at www.facebook.com/MandarinOrientalManila.
Oh and P.S. let me tell you now, Mandarin Oriental, Manila has one of the BEST tikoys or nian gow *New Year’s Cake* in the country (there are only 2 hotels whose tikoys I actually highly recommend– Mandarin Oriental is one of them, and the other is Shangrila Hotel, Makati). So if you’re a fan of tikoy, better place your order at Mandarin Oriental, Manila already. Priced only at Php 588 for the regular, and Php 688 for the special tikoy (with gold flakes!!)
For the past 3 years, I have not been fortunate in buying them as a walk-in customer (I’ve been given them that’s why I know they’re fantastic!!). So this year, I wised up by pre-ordering 😉

Happy New year to you baghag,
Do you think in the near future we, from other parts of the world can shop via online (accesory Lab)? I would like to get a piece of Daphne/Ingrid necklace collection. If it is available right now to shop this way let me know..Thanks
I guess I’ll be with my family having whatever and being all positive about the “new year”
we usually spend chinese new year’s with the family at home, gorging on the usual chinese food 🙂 i’m not really a fan of chinese new year because i’m petrified by the lion dances, hahaha :-p i never liked their bulging eyes and the deafening drums… btw, your crystals are beautiful, *makes mental note to pass by accessory lab*
is it true that you shouldn’t buy tikoy yourself? that it should be given to you as a gift on chinese new year?
we have that tikoy at home!!!!!! we don’t know how to eat it though. does it have to be fried?? i tried it raw….it tastes like sapin sapin!
@tikoy dilemma: SLice in strips (I recommend strips), Beat 1 egg, then dip tikoy strips and then fry 🙂 Sooo good! Hehehe actually I ate a little tikoy without frying– i love the taste 🙂
@PBB: Always good to look on the bright side even if the world is “dark” 🙂
@daphneosena: I am giving you tikoy! 😀 So you don’t buy yourself one!
@browneyedgirl: Awww traumatized from way back? 🙁 I used to be afraid too– only in more recent years that I began appreciating Chinese New year 🙂
@genevir: The line will be available at Accessory Lab and we do ship worldwide! Stay tuned and we’ll definitely be announcing the launch on the blog 🙂
