Prepare to welcome the Year of the Snake in serious style as The Star Sydney transforms into a vibrant hub of Lunar New Year celebrations. For two whole weeks, from 28 January to 12 February 2025, guests can revel in exquisite dining, dazzling entertainment, and a joyful cultural experience unlike any other. At the heart of it all? A one-night-only fine dining event hosted by chef extraordinaire Luke Nguyen at Fat Noodle.
A Feast to Remember with Luke Nguyen
If you’re after a show-stopping way to celebrate, Luke Nguyen’s Lunar Feast on Tuesday, 4 February 2025, is where you need to be. For one night only, Nguyen will bring his culinary magic to a specially curated six-course banquet at Fat Noodle, showcasing dishes steeped in the rich traditions of the Lunar New Year.
Priced at $128 per person, the evening includes a complimentary lychee and kalamansi mocktail to kick things off. From there, guests will indulge in a feast made to symbolise prosperity, happiness, and fortune, including standout dishes like Fatt Choy Yu Sheng with Tasmanian salmon and Kaluga caviar, steamed blue spotted coral trout with lobster bisque, and a decadent Vietnamese coffee bavarois to finish.
This isn’t just a meal – it’s storytelling, culture, and exceptional flavours all on one plate. Bookings for the banquet are essential, and with an event this special, spots are bound to fill up fast.

- For a meaty indulgence, head to BLACK Bar & Grill and savour their “Prosperity” Stone Axe Wagyu Tenderloin Bone-In ($888) – a true showpiece.
- Classics with a twist shine at Cucina Porto, with offerings like slow-cooked spatchcock served with lemon myrtle Kipfler potatoes ($48).

There’s even more to sample across Fat Noodle, The Food Quarter, and beyond, ranging from braised pork belly to bold claypot dishes. Don’t forget the cocktails – Sokyo teams up with Grey Goose for themed Lunar New Year drinks like the fruity Golden Lotus and the fiery Flaming Dragon. Cheers to that!
Entertainment that Dazzles
