Start the New Year with a culinary journey through Szechuan, China at Hong, described as the authentic Chinese restaurant at the Ritz-Carlton, Riyadh.

Chef De Cuisine, Danny Khoo offers regional specialties and classic dishes from the historically flavorful Chinese region of Szechuan amid the beautiful and tranquil atmosphere of the restaurant, which overlooks city’s most picturesque indoor pool.

The Szechuan Chinese New Year has inspired the Ritz–Carlton, Riyadh to create a dining experience that encourages guests to explore a cultural welcome by men and women in Chinese customs as well as an inimitable presentation of the Chinese tea history and its benefits.

The New Year menu draws on classic Chinese flavors and ingredients, elevating them with a modern Asian accent, artistic presentation and flavor combinations. Favorites such as steamed dumplings, Szechuan tiger shrimps and lemongrass crispy ice cream, are part of a special promotional menu, which introduces the new Hong specialties for all to try from Jan. 31 to Feb. 14.

For the new season, guests will also be introduced to the great history behind traditional Chinese teas with unlimited tea flavors.

Hong, which translates from Chinese Mandarin as "red", offers a traditional dining experience in a contemporary setting that blends refined opulence with a rich color palette and exquisite attention to detail, from hand-painted calligraphy panels to the raw silk upholstery and subtle mood lighting.

Hong's unique menu and red Chinese setting will attract the city's most discerning gourmands and lovers of Asian dining. It is open six days a week from 7 p.m. until midnight, except for Sundays, offering traditional family style service.

“In keeping with the core values of the Ritz-Carlton, we aim to provide a unique and memorable experience to all our guests, not just a culinary extravaganza,” explains Chef de Cuisine Danny Khoo.
