Yauatcha will mark the start of The Year of the Rat this Chinese New Year, with eye-catching window illustrations and a special menu inspired by the age-old zodiac legend ‘The Great Race’, available from Monday, 20 January until Wednesday, 19 February, at Yauatcha Kolkata, Mumbai, Bangalore in India, and all other locations globally.

The Rat is the first of the 12-year cycle of animals which appear in the Chinese zodiac, embodying the qualities of wealth and optimism.

The menu features a number of authentic and celebratory Chinese dishes, using auspicious ingredients. Highlights include Crispy rice and black cod served with pickled golden beets and mango chilli sauce; a Lohan vegetable claypot with bamboo shoot, lotus seed, cloud ear, mushroom and black truffle; and a Wok – tossed tenderloin with hand pulled noodle, courgette, bean sprout and red pepper. The exclusive menu is available to order a la carte as well as part of the set menu.

Yauatcha’s expert mixologists have created an exclusive Chinese New Year cocktail for the occasion, the Jìngsù Peony cocktail.
