From February 1-13, Tiger Fork will serve of a special a la carte menu of symbolic Cantonese dishes for both dine-in and takeout, each representing a specific virtue to bring good luck for the coming year. And during dinner service on Saturday, February 5, the festive restaurant will host traditional Lion Dancers, performing ceremonies to bring prosperity and good fortune in 2022.
