This May, Yi Jing at ITC Maratha invites diners to experience the essence of the Dragon Boat Festival through a culinary celebration that artfully blends tradition and innovation. The restaurant has introduced a special à la carte menu that pays homage to this culturally rich festival, offering guests an opportunity to savour the symbolic flavours of the season.

The spotlight shines on Zongzi, traditional glutinous rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves and steamed to perfection. Guests can choose between the sweet and delicate Red Bean Zongzi, which offers a comforting bite of nostalgia, and the hearty BBQ Chicken Zongzi, layered with savoury notes and smoky depth.

To round off the festive experience, Yi Jing adds a modern flair with two summer-perfect desserts. The Mango Sticky Rice, a tropical favourite, is reimagined with elegant finesse, while the Mango Tres Leches bridges Eastern and Western palates with its creamy, fruity decadence—ideal for Mumbai’s summer indulgence.

Set in the sophisticated ambiance of Yi Jing, the experience is perfect for guests looking to explore or revisit the joy of the Dragon Boat Festival. With its refined presentation and deep-rooted culinary symbolism, the limited-time menu reflects Yi Jing’s signature approach: thoughtful, inspired, and deeply flavourful.

The Dragon Boat Festival celebration runs throughout May at Yi Jing, located at ITC Maratha, Sahar, Andheri East. For reservations, guests may contact the restaurant via email at Restaurantreservation.Itcmaratha@itchotels.in or call 022 40341800.
