Feng Shui Master with Briefing on Year of the Ox

Regatta Room | 30 January 2021 | 1300 to 1600hrs

Come and join us if you are excited to know more about what lies in store in the Year of the Ox from our invited Feng Shui Master!

Feng Shui is written as “wind and water” in Chinese. The term refers to geomancy, but encompasses geography, astronomy, astrology and meteorology. The theory stems from a holistic philosophy that views total connectivity of everything in this universe – from the date and time of your birth to the orientation of space which affects the flow of your qi (electromagnetic energy).

Master Zhong Yong Han has been learning Feng Shiu since childhood with the family earning a living with Feng Shiu for generations. As a MBA and member of the Chartered Institute of Housing, Master Zhong is an expert in housing management. He deeply felt that the property environment where people live or do activities is closely related to people’s physical and mental health and now a tutor at Wisdoms World and famous for teaching Feng Shui from a scientific perspective and popular among students.

HK$328 per person with Chinese Dim Sum and Tea served during the class. For reservations, please contact the Banquet Team on 2239 0339 / 2239 0327 or email banquet@rhkyc.org.hk

Compass Room | Thursday 14 January

The House of Ruinart was the first Champagne House to be established by Nicolas Ruinart in 1729. Ruinart, a Reims draper like his father, started his first account ledger devoted to “wine with bubbles” on 1 September 1729 and that ledger serves as the ‘birth certificate’ for the first Champagne House ever created. Ruinart adopted his uncle’s pioneering vision and ambition for ‘wine with bubbles’ with the first delivery going out in January 1730. Due to great success, six years later in 1735, Maison Ruinart concentrated its business on the burgeoning champagne trade and since then the Maison has kept the standards of excellence of its founders.

Wine of the Month

Craggy Range Sauvignon Blanc 2019, Marlborough, New Zealand

Pale lime to pale straw. An abundance of fresh passion fruit pulp and freshly grated lemon zest lift from the glass. The palate has a phenomenal acid drive. There is a concentration of ripe fruit here only seen in the best of years but enough minerality to give the wine complex. [Suggested food pairing: sashimi, bluff oysters and trout risotto] $338 per bottle

Domaine Paul Jaboulet Aîné Syrah VDF 2018, Rhône, France

Clear red purple colour with dark purple reflections. Strong nose, this Syrah shows aromas of red fruits (cherries, blackcurrant) and spices with delicacy. The attack is concentrated and fruity.On the palate, this wine is powerful with a beautiful structure and silky tannins. The greedier finish is full of red fruits with a very nice length. [Suggested food pairing: grilled meats, cheese] $298 per bottle Available in all F&B outlets.
