Goodwood Park Hotel's Lunar New Year Line Up For Year of The Horse

MinJiangCNY26-8

Goodwood Park Hotel welcomes the Year of the Horse with a lavish spread of Lunar New Year delicacies, available for walk-in purchase at The Deli, Min Jiang and Min Jiang at Dempsey from 23 January to 3 March 2026. Drawing inspiration from the horse – a symbol of strength, vitality and progress – this year's offerings showcase refined craftsmanship, premium ingredients and flavours that balance tradition with modern finesse.

MinjiangCNYIG-12
Blossoming Prosperity 'Lo Hei' 4.5/5

Priced at $288++ (Dine-In) | $313.90 nett (Takeaway/Delivery), the Blossoming Prosperity 'Lo Hei' by Master Chef Goh Chee Kong is a refreshing departure from conventional yu sheng. Designed for diners seeking something more contemporary, the yu sheng is artfully shaped like an elegant fan, symbolising prosperity and good fortune. What truly stands out is the generous medley of evenly diced fresh fruits – strawberry, kiwi, blueberry, melon, dragon fruit and apple – lending natural sweetness, tang and vibrancy to every bite. The sauce, crafted from apple juice, ginger flower and sour plum, is well-balanced and uplifting, tying the ingredients together without overpowering them. Textural contrast comes from crunchy fried yams and carrot strips, pine nuts and crisp romaine lettuce. Completing this luxurious creation is a premium trio of abalone, raw salmon and lobster, making this a celebratory and indulgent way to kick-start the Lunar New Year feast.

MinJiangCNY26-10
Min Jiang Five Treasures Appetiser Platter 3.5/5

The Min Jiang Five Treasures Appetiser Platter is priced at $168++ (Dine-In) | $183.10 nett (Takeaway/Delivery) and serves as an elegant prelude to the reunion meal. The platter features a quintet of appetisers: Deep-fried Shrimp with Mango Mayonnaise, Chilled Baby Abalone with Spicy Lime Sauce, Pan-fried Iberico Pork Belly, Shanghainese Smoked Sea Perch Fillet, and Marinated Sea Jelly with Sesame. Each item offers a distinct flavour profile, from creamy and fruity to smoky and savoury. While the platter is refined and visually pleasing, some components stood out more than others, making it a pleasant but not overly memorable starter.

MinJiangCNY26-13
Braised Whole Spring Chicken, Abalone, Dace Fish stuffed in Fortune Bag and Sea Treasures in Pot 4.5/5

Priced at $288++ (Dine-In) | $313.90 nett (Takeaway/Delivery), the nourishing Braised Whole Spring Chicken, Abalone, Dace Fish stuffed in Fortune Bag and Sea Treasures in Pot is one of the highlights of the festive menu. A whole spring chicken is painstakingly deboned for a refined dining experience, then generously stuffed with water chestnuts, Australian abalone, premium fish maw, dried scallop and pork tendon. The addition of dace fish stuffed in a fortune bag adds both symbolism and depth. Double-boiled for over three hours, the resulting broth is rich, collagen-laden and deeply comforting, showcasing time-honoured techniques that shine through in every spoonful. Presented in a rustic claypot, this dish is both visually impressive and immensely satisfying.

MinJiangCNY26-16
Braised Boneless Pork Knuckle, Abalone, Minced Shrimp & Chicken stuffed in Lotus Root and Sea Treasures in Pot 4.5/5

At $398++ (Dine-In) | $433.80 nett (Takeaway/Delivery), this luxurious Braised Boneless Pork Knuckle, Abalone, Minced Shrimp & Chicken stuffed in Lotus Root and Sea Treasures in Pot is a celebration of texture and patience. The boneless pork knuckle is slowly braised for over three hours until fork-tender, absorbing the rich flavours of the braising sauce. A standout component is the lotus root slices, deep-fried and generously stuffed with shrimp and chicken paste. Lightly steamed, they offer a delightful contrast of crunch and savouriness. Served alongside abalone and other auspicious sea treasures, this dish is hearty, indulgent and well-suited for a celebratory reunion meal.

MinJiangCNY26-21

MinJiangCNY26-19
Claypot Reunion Rice 4.5/5

The Claypot Reunion Rice, priced at $150.40 nett (small) | $215.80 nett (large), is a comforting Cantonese staple elevated for the festive season. The fragrant rice is crowned with preserved Chinese pork sausages, liver, waxed duck leg and succulent pork belly. Drizzled and tossed with supreme soy sauce, the rice is aromatic and flavourful, making it a satisfying centrepiece to accompany the richer dishes on the table.

Goodwood Park Hotel's Lunar New Year offerings for 2026 strike a commendable balance between tradition and modern elegance. From the refreshing, fruit-forward yu sheng to the nourishing double-boiled soups and indulgent claypot dishes, the menu caters well to both festive symbolism and gastronomic pleasure. All Lunar New Year specials are available from 23 January to 3 March 2026, with a minimum five-day advance order required for takeaways. The last pre-order date is 27 February 2026.

YaGeCNY12

YaGeCNY15
Prosperity Yu Sheng with Yellowtail and Crispy Eel 4.2/5

The celebratory journey begins, as tradition dictates, with the Prosperity Yu Sheng with Yellowtail and Crispy Eel. Visually vibrant and texturally engaging, the platter layers silky yellowtail sashimi with crisp eel and dried shredded codfish over a bed of freshly shredded vegetables, nuts and seeds. What truly elevates the toss is Chef’s house-made citrus dressing — freshly squeezed orange and lemon juice gently reduced for intensity. Bright, aromatic and refreshing, it sets an uplifting tone of abundance and good fortune.

YaGeCNY17
Double-boiled Golden Fish Maw with Asian Moon Scallop and Imperial Tribute Chrysanthemum 4/5

A clear standout among the festive offerings is the Double-boiled Golden Fish Maw with Asian Moon Scallop and Imperial Tribute Chrysanthemum. Slow-simmered old hen forms a deep, full-bodied broth that cradles prized fish maw and Asian moon scallop, perfumed with Huangshan wild tribute chrysanthemum. Silken in texture and deeply restorative, this soup speaks of patience, tradition and indulgent well-being. It is a luxurious expression of festive nourishment.

YaGeCNY21
Steamed Yellow Croaker in Chicken Broth with Fennel 4.2/5

Seafood lovers will appreciate the finesse of the Steamed Yellow Croaker in Chicken Broth with Fennel. Marinated for hours with fennel, thyme, rosemary and bay leaf, the fish is gently steamed in a rich chicken broth, resulting in flesh that is delicate yet flavourful. Clean, subtly aromatic and elegantly restrained, the dish showcases Ya Ge’s precision-driven approach to classic Cantonese techniques.

YaGeCNY24
Stir-fried Australian Lobster with Glutinous Rice Wine Sauce 4.2/5

For a bolder expression, the Stir-fried Australian Lobster with Glutinous Rice Wine Sauce delivers festive indulgence with restraint. Inspired by Beijing-style stir-fry traditions, fermented glutinous rice wine and Pi Xian broad bean paste lend warmth and complexity, enhancing rather than overpowering the lobster’s natural sweetness. The flavours are layered and fragrant, making this a celebratory centrepiece worthy of the occasion.

YaGeCNY27
Deep-fried Deshelled Prawn coated with Fish Floss and Shrimp Roe Salad 4.5/5

Texture and crunch come into play with the Deep-fried Deshelled Prawn, coated with Fish Floss and Shrimp Roe, and served with a Shrimp Roe Salad. Golden and crisp, the prawns are tossed in a savoury-sweet house dressing enriched with shrimp roe and fish floss, offering immediate satisfaction and an addictive interplay of flavours.

YaGeCNY31
Sautéed Eight Treasures Vegetables with Yunnan Black Tiger Palm Mushroom 4/5

Vegetarian offerings are no afterthought here. The Sautéed Eight Treasures Vegetables with Yunnan Black Tiger Palm Mushroom wrapped in Lotus Leaf is quietly luxurious. A medley of premium ingredients — from ginkgo nuts and lotus seeds to macadamia nuts, white fungus and bamboo shoots — is gently wrapped in lotus leaf and steamed, releasing a delicate fragrance when unveiled at the table. It is elegant, nourishing and deeply comforting.

YaGeCNY36
Steamed Lotus Leaf Jasmine and Glutinous Rice with Chinese Sausages and Wax Meat 4/5

Anchoring the feast is the Steamed Lotus Leaf Jasmine and Glutinous Rice with Chinese Sausages and Wax Meat. Fragrant jasmine rice and sticky glutinous grains absorb the savoury richness of Chinese sausage and waxed meat, offering familiar comfort and balance, a gentle reminder that prosperity is best shared.

YaGeCNY41

YaGeCNY39
Chilled Red Ruby with Jackfruit and Corn, Mandarin Orange Mochi 4/5

Desserts provide a refreshing close, from the Chilled Red Ruby with Jackfruit and Corn to Mandarin Orange Mochi filled with custard and mandarin pulp, ending the meal on a light, sweet-tart note.

Prosperity Lion Nian Gao

Shisen Hanten by Chen Kentaro @ Hilton Orchard Singapore - Welcomes Year of the Horse with Luxurious Lunar New Year Offerings

IMG_9860

Shisen Hanten by Chen Kentaro ushers in the Year of the Horse with its signature Chūka Szechwan Ryori cuisine, presenting a celebratory line-up of curated festive offerings. Set menus are available for lunch from 9 February to 3 March 2026, and for dinner from 2 February to 3 March 2026. In addition, an expansive à la carte selection, vegetarian dishes, and a range of festive takeaway goodies will be available from 19 January to 3 March 2026. Seven dine-in set menus, priced from $168++ to $388++ per guest, cater to both intimate private gatherings and larger celebrations.

IMG_9864
Prosperity Madai Yu Sheng 3.5/5

We experienced the Triumphant Menu ($218++ per guest, minimum six guests), which opened with the Prosperity Madai Yu Sheng, featuring Japanese Madai (red sea bream) sourced from Kochi Prefecture. The fish was fresh and delicate, complemented by an in-house strawberry plum sauce that added a gentle fruity acidity without overpowering the dish.

IMG_9878
Foie Gras Chawanmushi with Crab Roe Soup 4.8/5

One of the highlights was the restaurant’s signature Foie Gras Chawanmushi with Crab Roe Soup. The steamed egg custard, made with Canadian foie gras and local chicken eggs, was exceptionally soft and silky. The subtle richness and slight funk of the foie gras lent depth to the custard, while the rich crab roe sauce, made from handpicked Alaskan king crab roe slow-cooked with carrot purée and aromatics, added a velvety textural boost.

IMG_9882
Wok-fried Prawn with Fresh Lily Bulb and Asparagus 4/5

The Wok-fried Prawn with Fresh Lily Bulb and Asparagus followed, delivering a pleasing contrast of textures with crisp vegetables and succulent prawns.

IMG_9889
Crispy Roasted Sakura Chicken 4.5/5

A clear crowd favourite was the Crispy Roasted Sakura Chicken with Fragrant Garlic. The skin was roasted to a light crisp, while the meat remained juicy and succulent, making it a seemingly simple yet satisfying dish.

IMG_9899
Whole Deep-fried Marble Goby 5/5

Visually impressive, the Whole Deep-fried Marble Goby with Yuzu Sauce tantalised the senses. The fish had firm flesh with a well-crisped exterior, and the umami-laced yuzu soy sauce brightened the flavours beautifully.

IMG_9910
Braised South African 4-head Abalone 4/5

The meal continued with Braised South African 4-head Abalone with Black Moss and Seasonal Vegetables in Oyster Sauce. The abalone had been braised for six hours in a mature chicken and pork knuckle stock, resulting in a tender texture. The full-bodied oyster sauce imparted a deep umami richness that complemented the abalone.

IMG_9916
Wok-fried Glutinous Rice with Foie Gras 3/5

From another menu, we also sampled the newly launched Wok-fried Glutinous Rice with Foie Gras, Chinese Sausage and Black Truffle, available as part of selected set menus and for takeaway at $75 nett. I found this rendition overly rich; a simpler version without both foie gras and truffle would have worked just as well for me.

IMG_9927
Dessert 4/5

Dessert was refreshing and light with the Chilled Szechwan Jelly with Seasonal Fruit, featuring Japanese persimmons handpicked by Chef Kentaro, mixed with gelatin and drizzled with Okinawa brown sugar syrup. Alongside it was the Crispy Duo-flavour Nian Gao Roll, which leaned slightly on the sweeter side but rounded off the meal on a festive note.

HaiTienLoCNY25-9
Baked Lobster with Butter, Signature Homemade XO Chilli Sauce 4.8/5

One of the most talked-about dishes of the night was the Baked Lobster with Butter and Signature Homemade XO Chilli Sauce. The rich, umami-packed XO sauce elevated the sweet, juicy lobster meat, which had everyone at the table raving. The butter infusion added a layer of indulgence, making this dish a definite highlight of the meal.

HaiTienLoCNY25-12
Stewed Inaniwa Udon with Fish Maw, Pan Fried Scallops, Sliced Barbecued Beijing Duck 4.5/5

A unique and unexpected addition to the menu was the Stewed Inaniwa Udon — a departure from the usual rice or noodle dishes found in Chinese restaurants. The silky, delicate udon absorbed the essence of the fish maw, scallops, and barbecued duck, creating a luxurious and well-balanced dish. Though the udon stood well on its own, the addition of premium ingredients elevated the overall experience.

HaiTienLoCNY25-19
Double-boiled Imperial Swiftlet's Nest with Red Dates and Rock Sugar 4.2/5

Dessert was a nourishing and refined Double-boiled Imperial Swiftlet’s Nest with Red Dates and Rock Sugar. The light, refreshing sweetness made it a perfect ending to the meal, striking a balance between tradition and indulgence.

HaiTienLoCNY25-21
Gold Ingot Cake coated with Finely-ground Nuts and Shredded Yam 5/5

We also had the Gold Ingot Cake coated with Finely Ground Nuts and Shredded Yam. Though simple in appearance, the nian gao was exceptionally delicious, with the nutty crunch and yam shreds adding layers of texture and flavour, making it surprisingly enjoyable.

Hai Tien Lo’s Chinese New Year menu is an extravagant and well-crafted feast, perfect for celebrating with family and loved ones. Standout dishes include the Double-boiled Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Baked Lobster with XO Sauce, and Braised South African Abalone.
