Blossoming Fortune, Chinese New Year Celebration At Conrad Centennial Singapore

For the Year of Rat, Chef Ku Keung from Golden Peony at Conrad Centennial Singapore has prepared a selection of signature dishes, as well as six specially curated set menus for a gastronomic reunion experience. The Chinese New Year dishes and takeaways are available from 6 January to 8 February 2020.

Fortune Salmon and Crispy White Bait Yu Sheng

Available for more dine-in and takeaway is the Fortune Salmon and Crispy White Bait Yu Sheng ($68/ $128). The addition of the crispy whitebait provides the extra textural enjoyment, tossing to a year of abundance and prosperity.

New Bedford Scallop

The sweet and plump New Bedford Scallop is dressed in Butternut Pumpkin Sauce and topped with  Crispy Potato Crumbs for texture.

Crispy Soft Shell Crab, Parsnip Puree with Spiced Salt

Somewhat similar to the Bi Feng Tang cooking style, The Crispy Soft Shell Crab is paired with parsnip puree with spiced salt.

Prosperity Eight Treasure Congee with Black Truffle

The highlight goes to the Prosperity Eight Treasure Congee with Black Truffle. Not only does it look pretty in presentation, but it also tastes heavenly too. The comforting bowl of congee is smooth and silky, with the taste further elevated by the addition of black truffle. I would add the pickled lettuce and youtiao for complete enjoyment of the congee.

Steamed Sea Perch with Spiced Coconut Milk

A new creation is the Steamed Sea Perch with Spiced Coconut Milk. It is an adventurous take for a Cantonese restaurant. It is like having curry fish head but in a more refined manner, though I wish the spiced coconut milk can be spicier.

Roasted Suckling Pig filled with Portuguese Chicken Rice

A signature at Golden Peony is their Roasted Suckling Pig. Every year the restaurant will introduce a unique stuffing for the suckling pig. This year the suckling pig is filled with Portuguese chicken rice.

Chilled Dragon Fruit with Crystal Ball

Wrapping up our meal is the Chilled Dragon Fruit with Crystal Ball. The chilled soup tangy, yet refreshing with a subtle fruity sweetness.

Golden Peony's Lunar New Year menus are available from $128/pax or $1,398 for a table of 10 pax.

Usher in the Year of the Rat at Wan Hao Chinese Restaurant, Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel with a flourish of bespoke set menus, a la carte Lunar New Year masterpieces and innovative Lunar New Year takeaway treats. The Lunar New Year festive menus will be available from 03 January to 08 February 2020.

Lobster, Scallop, Salmon, Alaskan Crab, Caviar and Crispy Fish Skin Yu Sheng

Toss to a year of abundance and prosperity with the luxuriant Lobster, Scallop, Salmon, Alaskan Crab, Caviar and Crispy Fish Skin Yu Sheng with Passionfruit Pearls & Crispy Vermicelli dotted with gold flakes ($268++ Large). Guests can choose from a choice of three sauces to go with the Yu Sheng. They are White Peace Sauce, Kumquat Sauce or traditional sauce. For a healthy take, there is the new Pear and Avocado Vegetarian Yu Sheng ($68++/ $128++).

Bird's Nest Dumpling with Crab Roe Superior Soup

The Bird's Nest Dumpling with Crab Roe Superior Soup is an "atas" interpretation of the dumpling soup. The dumpling is topped with bird nest, complemented by the robust crab roe broth.

Wan Hao Imperial Pot of Prosperity

Making a debut this year is the Wan Hao Imperial Pot of Prosperity ($688/ $1088). The treasure pot consists of 15 luxuriant ingredients, filled to the brim with Australian 3-Head abalone, drunken chicken, crispy dried oyster, sea cucumber, fish maw, Irish roast duck, Japanese shiitake mushroom, whole pig trotter, black moss, fish paste, baby Chinese cabbage, black moss, white radish, beancurd skin and broccoli.

Wok-fried Boston Lobster with Caviar, Egg White, Fresh Milk & Broccoli

A light but the yet flavourful dish is the Wok-fried Boston Lobster with Caviar, Egg White, Fresh Milk & Broccoli. What I enjoyed most is the light and fluffy egg white perked up by the caviar's zest.

Pork Ribs with White Peach Honey Sauce

An innovative and unique take of the traditional pork ribs dish is the Pork Ribs with White Peach Honey Sauce ($38++) instead of the usual sweet and sour sauce. The white peach and honey sauce gives the tender pork ribs a subtle sweetness that is well balanced.

Hot Teochew Yam Paste with Carrageen & Coconut Milk

The Hot Teochew Yam Paste with Carrageen & Coconut Milk is a luxury interpretation of the traditional Orh Nee, crowned with bird's nest.

Not to be missed is the Nian Gao Tart from Marriott Hotel. Joining the all-time favourites; Golden Nian Gao Tart with Green Tea ($32), Golden Nian Gao Tart with Cempedak ($32) and Golden Nian Gao with Yam ($28) is the new creation Golden Nian Gao Tart with Red Date ($28) this year.
