- Feb 17
- 2 min read
On February 17, 2026, the Lunar New Year officially begins, ushering in the Year of the Fire Horse. In Chinese astrology, the Fire Horse is a rare and powerful symbol representing passion, forward momentum, and bold energy. It is a year designed for making big moves, embracing excitement, and sparking romance.
If you are looking for the perfect way to channel this fiery energy, Lemongrass Asian Kitchen and Lounge is the ultimate destination for a romantic Lunar New Year dinner in Antigua. From February 17 to February 23, our culinary team is offering a limited-time Lunar New Year Indulgence Menu that transforms a standard mid-week dinner into a spectacular date night.
Here is how to celebrate the Year of the Fire Horse with us.
1. Ignite the Spark: Shareable Starters
In Asian dining, sharing food is a symbol of closeness and affection. Start your date night by splitting the Imperial Dumpling Symphony (59 ECD). Handcrafted and steamed to perfection, this decadent platter features delicate shrimp Ha Gow, silky chicken Shumai, and vibrant vegetable parcels. It is an interactive, intimate way to begin the meal.
If you prefer something to warm the soul, the Silk Road Shrimp Wonton Broth (69 ECD) features velvety shrimp-filled wontons drifting through a fragrant, slow-simmered broth. It offers a light, savory, and deeply comforting start to your evening.
2. Bold Flavors for a Bold Year
The Fire Horse is all about intensity, and our main courses reflect that bold spirit.
For the Seafood Lover: The Jade Ginger-Steamed Mahi Mahi (79 ECD) is clean and beautifully balanced. Gently steamed with fresh ginger, spring onion, and umami-rich soy, it is an aromatic dish that feels both luxurious and light.
For the Meat Lover: The Five-Spice Duck Chow Mein (85 ECD) brings rich, smoky satisfaction. Wok-tossed noodles are entwined with tender roasted duck and subtle five-spice warmth, creating an irresistibly savory dish to share.
3. A Golden Finish
Mandarins are traditionally gifted during the Lunar New Year to wish someone luck and wealth. We have turned this tradition into the ultimate dessert to split with your partner. The Golden Mandarin Panna Cotta (35 ECD) features a silky coconut and lemongrass base, crowned with a vibrant mandarin coulis. It finishes the evening on a bright, citrus-kissed note that is luxuriously smooth.
Because the Year of the Fire Horse only comes around once every 60 years, this is a cultural and culinary event you won't want to miss. Our Lunar New Year Indulgence Menu is exclusively available for a limited time from February 17 to February 23.
Share this menu with your favorite foodie friends, send it to your partner, and make a plan to experience the boldest flavors in English Harbour before the week is over! View the Full Lunar New Year Special
