Pang Pang (胖哥俩肉蟹煲) @ Guoco Midtown II - New Dishes & Generational Dining Deals for a Hearty Seafood Feast

Returning to Pang Pang (胖哥俩肉蟹煲) at Guoco Midtown II always feels like coming back to a familiar spot for indulgent, sauce-laden seafood pots. This time, the visit was made even more meaningful with the brand’s Parents’ Day promotion, running from 1 May to 30 June 2026. Designed to encourage family bonding over a communal feast, diners can enjoy up to 30% off their signature pots — 30% for three generations, 20% for two, and 10% for one. It’s a timely reason to gather loved ones around the table.

We were here to try some of their new dishes, alongside a new variation of their signature pot.

Spicy Prawn Crab Pot 4.5/5

The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the new Spicy Prawn Crab Pot ($88), a decadent, flavour-packed centrepiece built for sharing. This latest variation brings together two premium seafood ingredients — crabs and prawns — in a robust, savoury-spicy sauce enriched with crab butter and aromatic spices.

The pot arrives brimming with ingredients, including tender chicken feet, soft potatoes, chewy rice cakes, and silky tofu, all steeped in a deeply umami-rich gravy. The chicken feet and potatoes stood out once again, having soaked up the sauce beautifully and cooked down to a soft, almost melt-in-the-mouth texture.

The crabs were fresh and meaty, with the claws thoughtfully pre-cracked, making it easy to enjoy without the usual effort. The prawns were plump and juicy, adding a satisfying bite and sweetness that balanced the spice. Altogether, it’s a hearty, indulgent dish that truly embodies the communal dining experience Pang Pang is known for.

Pineapple Shrimp 4/5

To balance the richness of the pot, the Pineapple Shrimp ($16.80) offers a refreshing contrast. Served cold, this newly introduced side dish features succulent peeled prawns paired with juicy pineapple chunks. The combination delivers a bright interplay of sweetness and tanginess, acting as a palate cleanser between bites of the heavier dishes. Light, refreshing and well-executed, it’s a thoughtful addition to the menu that complements the bold flavours of the mains.

Scallion Infused Noodles 3.5/5

A good carbohydrate pairing is essential when tackling Pang Pang’s rich pots, and the Scallion Infused Noodles ($5.80) fit the role well. The noodles are cooked to a pleasing texture, retaining a springy bite. Tossed in a fragrant blend of scallion oil and soy sauces, the noodles take on a glossy sheen and a savoury depth. The addition of crispy browned scallion bits adds a smoky aroma and extra layer of flavour. While simple, it serves as a comforting base to soak up the leftover sauce from the pot.

Deep Fried Chicken Wings 4/5

The Deep Fried Chicken Wings ($12.80) remain a reliable crowd-pleaser. Each wing is fried to a crisp golden-brown exterior, delivering a satisfying crunch with every bite, while the meat inside stays juicy and tender. Lightly seasoned with a savoury spice blend, the wings are flavourful without being overly heavy, making them an addictive starter or side to share around the table.

Pang Pang continues to impress with its hearty, flavour-forward seafood pots designed for communal dining. The new Spicy Prawn Crab Pot is a worthy addition, offering indulgence and bold flavours in every bite. Paired with the refreshing Pineapple Shrimp and comforting sides, the experience feels well-rounded and satisfying. With the ongoing Parents’ Day promotion, there’s no better time to gather family across generations and enjoy a feast together. After all, few things bring people closer than sharing a big pot of rich, comforting food.

Estate @ Hilton Singapore Orchard - “Sunday Social Champagne Brunch”, A Lively Celebration of Indulgence, Bubbly Elegance, and Elevated Weekend Dining

The Estate introduces a refreshed weekend ritual with its “Sunday Social Champagne Brunch”, a vibrant dining experience that brings together good food, free-flow champagne and a lively social atmosphere. Anchored by the theme “Brunch, but make it Estate”, the experience combines the restaurant’s well-loved buffet spread with curated plated signatures, music, a live DJ spinning throughout the brunch, and family-friendly touches, with the introduction of a dedicated Junior Corner. Free-flow premier French champagne from Moët & Chandon adds a touch of French chic to the afternoon, elevating the indulgence even further.

Seafood

The brunch begins with Estate’s renowned seafood bar taking centre stage, showcasing premium selections such as fresh French Oysters, Boston Lobsters and Alaskan King Crabs, alongside Tiger Prawns, Scallops, Clams and Mussels. This impressive spread sets the tone for a luxurious experience, offering diners a taste of the ocean’s finest with every visit to the station.

Carving Meats

At the carving station, diners can look forward to hearty centrepieces such as the tea-smoked whole lamb leg and the lemongrass & coconut-roasted wagyu sirloin. Both offerings deliver bold flavours and succulent textures, making them particularly enjoyable for those who appreciate richly prepared meats.

Mini Wagyu Slider

The Mini Wagyu Sliders are also worth a mention, featuring juicy patties layered with aged cheddar and caramelised onions, and nestled within fluffy brioche buns. Despite their modest size, these bites are surprisingly satisfying and well-executed.

Foie Gras/Corned Beef Hash

A key highlight of the brunch is the reimagined lineup of individually plated chef’s signatures, elevating the dining experience beyond the traditional buffet. Favourites include the pan-seared Foie Gras, rich and buttery with a beautifully caramelised exterior, as well as the indulgent corned beef hash with soft scrambled eggs, finished with black truffle essence and caviar.

Chawanmushi

The Lobster and Yuzu Chawanmushi is another refined creation, delicately steamed in kombu dashi and topped with ikura, delivering a silky texture, umami-rich flavours, and a gentle citrus lift.

Seared Scallop

Equally noteworthy are the seared Scallop à la Provençale, served with a smooth cauliflower velouté, brown butter and crisp capers. The dish offers a harmonious balance of richness and subtle sweetness, complemented by layers of texture.

Smoked Salmon and Trout Roulade

The Smoked Salmon and Trout Roulade presents a lighter yet flavourful option, paired with dill crème fraîche, pickled shallots and rye crisps. The combination brings together freshness, tanginess and a pleasant crunch.

Singapore Chilli Mud Crab/Roasted Meats

Beyond the plated selections, the buffet continues to impress with Estate’s signature spread of international and local favourites, offering diners a wide variety of options to explore throughout the afternoon. Among the highlights are the Singapore Chilli Mud Crab served with mantou, as well as roast meats such as Five-spiced Roasted Duck, Garlic-crusted Roasted Chicken, and Roasted Pork, all of which deliver familiar, comforting flavours.

Lobster Laksa

Another highlight is the noodle bar, where freshly prepared bowls take centre stage. The Lobster Nyonya Laksa stands out with its rich, aromatic broth. At the same time, other options such as the King Crab Laksa and Yunnan Cong You Ban Mian provide equally satisfying alternatives for those craving something warm and hearty.

Desserts round off the brunch on a delightful note with an extensive, thoughtfully curated selection. Highlights include Singapore Heritage Nyonya Kueh, caramelised Pecan Tart, Hilton’s iconic Cheesecake, Lavender Rose Tart, and caramelised Pistachio Chocolate Cake. Guests can also enjoy a selection of Gelatos alongside the Estate’s signature handcrafted dessert jars, such as Lemongrass Hazelnut Cookie Crumble, Matcha Azuki Truffle, Japanese Sweet Potato Pudding, Cacao Velvet, and Pumpkin-spiced Panna Cotta.
