The menu will be reprised on 19th August, for Qixi or 'Night of Sevens', the Chinese festival for lovers.

Alisan manager Keith Tsang said, "The Chinese equivalent to Valentine's, the 'Night of Sevens' is so called because it falls on the 7th day of the 7th month of the Chinese calendar." This year Qixi is 19th August in the Western calendar.
