Boundless Fortune Begins at Happy Place An Auspicious Lou Sang Experience for Chinese New Year 2026

-

 


Chinese New Year is a season where tradition meets intention. It is a time to gather, to toast new beginnings, and to welcome abundance with open hearts and shared rituals. This festive season, Happy Place invites diners to embrace prosperity in its most vibrant form with its beautifully curated Auspicious Lou Sang, created especially to usher in the Year of the Horse.

Set against a palette of rich reds and auspicious symbolism, the Lou Sang at Happy Place is a visual and culinary celebration. Premium slices of salmon form the centrepiece, surrounded by a harmonious medley of crisp vegetables, delicate textures and house-prepared accompaniments. Each ingredient is thoughtfully chosen to symbolise prosperity, good health and happiness, turning every toss into a meaningful wish for the year ahead.

More than a festive dish, the Lou Sang ritual is a moment of connection. As chopsticks rise and laughter fills the air, families, friends and business partners come together to mark new beginnings and shared hopes. Whether enjoyed as an intimate family gathering or a lively festive reunion, the experience captures the true spirit of Chinese New Year.

The Auspicious Lou Sang is available for dine-in or takeaway from 1 February to 3 March 2026, making it an ideal centrepiece for festive meals throughout the season.

Love in Every Cup of Coffee - Where Every Cup Tells the Story of Sabah

-
Image
In 2020, as the global pandemic swept across the world, uncertainty clouded the future. Flights were grounded, businesses stalled, and many plans were put on hold. Yet for some, this period became a turning point. In Sabah’s rural landscape, a quiet but determined coffee dream was taking root. Located in the interior of Sabah, Nature Coffee Farm began as a humble experiment driven by passion, persistence, and belief in the land. What started with curiosity soon evolved into a long-term commitment: to cultivate coffee that truly reflects Sabah’s soil, climate, and spirit. Coffee That Grows With the Land Coffee trees require patience. From planting to harvesting, the process takes years before results are visible. At Nature Coffee Farm, the team carefully nurtures each plant without rushing nature. The coffee cherries are grown in harmony with the environment, allowing the land to dictate the rhythm rather than industrial timelines. The founders believe coffee is honest. It reflects how ...

Lihing Experience with Grub N Vine Where Taste Meets Tradition, and Learning Becomes Sensory By Mr Alfred Allen Ginsos, Editor-in-Chief, FAVSTYLE

-
Image
In Sabah, tradition is never static. It ferments, matures, and evolves. Few cultural expressions embody this living process as eloquently as Lihing. More than a rice wine, Lihing is a cultural language, articulated through patience, ritual, and refinement. This philosophy came vividly to life at the Lihing Experience hosted by Grub N Vine , where guests were invited not merely to taste, but to understand. From Heritage to the Glass Rooted in the same ancestral brewing lineage as Tapai, Lihing represents a more composed and refined expression of fermentation. Crafted primarily from glutinous rice and fermented over an extended period of two months or more, Lihing undergoes a deliberate separation process, removing rice and yeast sediments. What remains is a translucent amber liquid, elegant in clarity and deepening in tone as it matures. This distinction is not cosmetic. It is philosophical. Where Tapai remains intimate and rustic, traditionally stored in jars for household enjoymen...
