Hai Tien Lo @ Pan Pacific Singapore - Welcomes the Lunar New Year with Festive Celebrations and Culinary Delights

HaiTienLoCNY26-22

Executive Chinese Chef Edden Yap and his culinary team at Hai Tien Lo, Pan Pacific Singapore, have crafted a Lunar New Year feast that balances tradition with refinement. Available from 23 January to 3 March 2026, the eight set menus and à la carte specialities are designed to celebrate prosperity, happiness, and good fortune. We had the pleasure of sampling the Joyous Abundance Menu, a carefully curated journey through festive classics elevated with premium ingredients.

HaiTienLoCNY26-1

HaiTienLoCNY26-3
Vitality Yu Sheng with classic Whole Abalone, Lobster, and Smoked Salmon 4.5/5

A spectacular start to the meal, the Vitality Yu Sheng with classic Whole Abalone, Lobster, and Smoked Salmon is all about abundance and finesse. Plump whole abalone anchors the platter with prized chew and natural sweetness, complemented by succulent lobster and delicately smoked salmon. Tossed with crisp vegetables, pickled accents, crushed peanuts, and sesame seeds, the tangy-sweet house dressing harmoniously binds the textures and flavours. Luxurious yet approachable, this is prosperity served on a plate.

HaiTienLoCNY26-11
Double-boiled Dendrobium Chicken Soup 4.5/5

The restorative Double-boiled Dendrobium Chicken Soup, which features free-range chicken, fish maw, whole abalone, dried scallops, and sea whelk, is quietly elegant. Double-boiled with Dendrobium orchid stems, the broth is naturally sweet and crystal clear, infused with subtle herbal freshness and a lingering mineral nuance. It's soothing, refined, and deeply comforting, a perfect interlude before the richer dishes.

HaiTienLoCNY26-12
Sliced Crispy Barbecued Suckling Pig with Caviar 4.2/5

The Sliced Crispy Barbecued Suckling Pig with Caviar impresses with shatteringly crisp skin and tender meat beneath. Each slice is finished with caviar, introducing a briny pop that cuts through the richness without overpowering it. The balance of textures and flavours is precise, making this an indulgent yet measured dish.

HaiTienLoCNY26-15
Sliced Beijing Duck and Jelly Fish 4/5

The Sliced Beijing Duck and Jelly Fish brings together two classic Chinese delicacies with distinct personalities. Thinly sliced Beijing duck showcases lacquered skin and gentle smokiness, while jellyfish adds a crisp, cooling contrast. Together, they create a harmonious progression of textures and flavours — composed, refreshing, and engaging.

HaiTienLoCNY26-18
Steamed Half East Australian Lobster in Chinese Wine Broth 4.5/5

The East Australian Lobster shines in minimalist fashion, steamed to tender perfection. The accompanying Chinese wine broth lends subtle warmth and aromatic depth, enhancing but never overshadowing the lobster's natural sweetness. A lesson in letting premium ingredients speak for themselves.

HaiTienLoCNY26-24
Braised South African 10 Head Whole Dried Abalone with Sea Cucumber in Abalone Sauce 4.5/5

A ceremonial centrepiece, the Braised South Africian 10 Head Whole Dried Abalone with Sea Cucumber in Abalone Sauce celebrates patience and craftsmanship. The 10-head whole dried abalone is tender yet springy, paired with silky sea cucumber, all cloaked in a glossy, umami-rich abalone sauce. Each bite is indulgent, deeply savoury, and profoundly satisfying — a masterclass in Cantonese braising.

HaiTienLoCNY26-27
Sauteed Japanese A5 Wagyu Beef with Fresh Mushrooms and Green Vegetables 4.2/5

The A5 Wagyu melts effortlessly, its buttery richness complemented by earthy mushrooms and crisp green vegetables. Minimal seasoning allows the beef's natural sweetness to shine, making this a balanced and composed highlight of the menu.

HaiTienLoCNY26-34
Stewed Inaniwa Udon with Pan-fried East Spotted Grouper Fish Fillet in Fish Broth 4.2/5

A comforting yet refined course, the Inaniwa Udon absorbs the clean, oceanic sweetness of the clear fish broth. Topped with a lightly pan-fried East Spotted Grouper fillet, the dish achieves a delicate interplay of textures and flavours. It is elegant, soothing, and precise.

HaiTienLoCNY26-38

HaiTienLoCNY26-40
Prosperity Nian Gao coated with Peanuts and Shredded Yam 4.2/5

A festive dessert that balances tradition and texture. The tender Nian Gao is coated with crushed peanuts and shredded yam, offering a delightful contrast between chewiness and crunch. Golden and auspicious, it's a playful, celebratory take on a Lunar New Year classic.

HaiTienLoCNY26-35
Double-boiled Bird's Nest with Peach Gum and Red Dates, in Young Coconut 4.5/5

A luxurious finish, the Double-boiled Bird's Nest with Peach Gum and Red Dates combines bird's nest, peach gum, and red dates, served in refreshing young coconut water. Silky, gelatinous, and delicately sweet, it is light yet indulgent, leaving the palate nourished and satisfied.

Hai Tien Lo's Joyous Abundance Menu is a Lunar New Year feast that respects tradition while elevating it with premium ingredients and precise execution. From the celebratory Yu Sheng to the indulgent abalone centrepiece and refined desserts, each dish is thoughtfully composed, making it a festive dining experience that celebrates both flavour and symbolism.
