Marking the arrival of the Year of the Fire Horse, the restaurant is hosting an auspicious dinner experience on Thursday, February 12, bringing together live cultural performances, immersive decor, and a curated menu inspired by prosperity and shared joy.
In Chinese tradition, the Fire Horse symbolizes success, speed, confidence, and abundance, a powerful combination for anyone stepping into a new chapter. Shanghai Me Dubai translates this energy into an evening where heritage meets high-style hospitality. From the moment guests arrive, bonsai trees dressed with wishing cards invite quiet intention-setting, while fans, lanterns, and cultural accents frame the space in celebratory warmth.
The night unfolds with theatrical flair. Lion dancers weave through the dining room, Chinese drummers set a rhythmic pulse, and stilt walkers add unexpected movement to the experience. It’s designed to feel lively yet refined, capturing the restaurant’s signature balance of tradition and contemporary elegance.
Food takes center stage with a Chinese New Year specials menu crafted to reflect indulgence and prosperity. Highlights include:
- Revitalizing Ginseng Soup with Duck Meat Balls (for two to three), AED 90
- Spicy Wagyu BBQ Roll, AED 230
- Crispy Slow Cooked Lamb Shank, AED 195
- Szechuan Zha Jian Wagyu Noodles, AED 130
- Creamy King Crab Puff with Caviar (two pieces), AED 85

- Roasted Pineapple Cake in a Pouch, AED 85
Each dish leans into rich flavors and premium ingredients, making the celebration feel both generous and thoughtfully composed. It’s the kind of menu built for lingering conversations, shared plates, and moments that stretch beyond the table.
For guests who want to keep the Fire Horse spirit alive, the festive decor and special dishes remain available until Tuesday, March 3. This extended celebration reflects a growing trend in experiential dining, where cultural moments become seasonal rituals rather than single-night events. In a city that thrives on curated experiences, Shanghai Me Dubai offers a space where tradition feels current and celebration becomes immersive.
As the Year of the Fire Horse begins, Shanghai Me Dubai creates an atmosphere that feels optimistic, energetic, and rooted in meaning. From live performances to prosperity-driven dishes, the experience is crafted for those ready to welcome growth, connection, and joyful momentum.
