Here are some ideas on how to celebrate Chinese New Year Toronto 2023.
Chinese New Year 2023 is Sunday, January 22 and this year is the Year of the Rabbit.
This list is updated as information becomes available. If you have an event/business that wants to be added, please contact me at [email protected] or DM me @foodgressing on social media.
Ladurée
Ladurée Canada is celebrating the year of the rabbit by bringing back its exquisite Lunar New Year macaron box.
The collectable box is decorated in traditional red and gold colours symbolizing good fortune. Boxes can be selectively filled with eight macarons ($43.00) from an assortment of Ladurée’s classic or specialty flavours.
For the holiday, Ladurée’s famous macarons can be customized with the symbolic rabbit ($1.50 per side) or luxurious gold leaf detailing ($3.30 per side).
Ladurée’s other popular classic macaron boxes like Napoléon, Prestige and Crystal are also available and can be customized with a special message, logo or gold and silver leafed macarons.
The French patisserie offers nationwide shipping and local same day delivery in the Greater Toronto Area. Ladurée is also available via UberEats in select delivery zones in Toronto and Vancouver.
Fuwa Fuwa
Fuwa Fuwa Pancakes, North America’s largest soufflé pancake and dessert café, has added a limited time dish to its menu, which we thought you might be interested in for any round-ups you may have planned.
From January 23 through to February 6, the new Orange Pancakes ($16.88 plus tax) will feature orange cream, fresh orange and banana, orange syrup and almond slices and will be available at all seven Fuwa Fuwa locations across the GTA (including their newly-open Fairview Mall location).
Oranges have long been associated with Lunar New Year as a traditional symbol of good fortune given the word orange, when spoken in Mandarin, sounds similar to the word “wealth.”
The orange hue of the fruit is also said to symbolize gold, making it a very auspicious fruit.
Giving oranges to loved ones during Lunar New Year is a symbolic way of wishing someone happiness and prosperity.
Holts Cafe
Celebrate the Year of the Rabbit with an elegant Lunar New Year Afternoon Tea at Holts Cafe featuring savoury and sweet fare accompanied by fine teas from Sloane.
