CHINESE NEW YEAR
Where to Dine in Phuket This Chinese New Year 2025
Ever found yourself staring at a menu, utterly paralysed by choice?
Or worse, realising you’ve booked a table at the wrong spot for a special occasion?
Fear not, dear reader.
Phuket is brimming with culinary gems this Chinese New Year, and I’ve done the legwork so you don’t have to.
Let’s talk about where to feast, celebrate, and make memories without the stress.
Why Phuket?
Imagine this: the scent of jasmine rice mingling with the salty sea breeze.
Lanterns glowing softly against the night sky.
The clink of glasses as families and friends toast to prosperity.
Phuket isn’t just a destination; it’s an experience.
And this Chinese New Year, it’s serving up some of the best dining experiences in Thailand.
Top Picks for Chinese New Year Feasts
The Vijitt Resort Phuket
Nestled in the Nai Harn area, this place is the spot for a luxurious Thai-Chinese fusion feast.
Think: dim sum with a twist, and dishes that look too good to eat (but you will).
Pro tip: Book early. This place fills up faster than you can say “Gong Xi Fa Cai.”
Kata Rocks
If you’re after bold flavours and a picturesque seaside vibe, this is it.
Their Chinese New Year specials include gourmet Chinese buffet and traditional favorites that will have you licking your fingers.
Bonus: The cocktails are as creative as the menu.
Courtyard by Marriott Phuket Town
A luxurious dinner set promises to impress in Phuket Town.
Perfect for those who want a lively, festive atmosphere.
Expect to experience an upscale celebration steeped in prosperity and tradition.
What to Order
Yusheng (Prosperity Toss): A must-have for good luck. The higher you toss, the better your year will be.
Peking Duck: Crispy skin, tender meat, and pancakes that melt in your mouth.
Nian Gao (Sticky Rice Cake): Sweet, chewy, and symbolic of growth and progress.
Phuket is more than just a pretty face.
It’s a place where food tells stories, and every meal feels like a celebration.
This Chinese New Year, let’s raise a glass to good food, good company, and a year filled with abundance.
So, where will you be dining?
Let me know—I’m always on the hunt for new recommendations.
