Ushering in the Year of the Snake, 5 ON 25 at Andaz Singapore introduces an array of auspicious Lunar New Year dishes, refined set menus, and festive takeaway goodies, available from 13 January to 12 February 2025. Curated by Executive Chef Martin Satow, Head Chinese Chef Lim Hong Lih, and their culinary team, the offerings highlight thoughtfully sourced ingredients while staying true to authentic Cantonese flavours.
5 ON 25 Signature Yusheng ($88/$148 Dine-in/Takeaway) features luscious slices of house-smoked sustainable Ora King Salmon from New Zealand, crispy fried yam, candied nuts, and a tangy plum dressing. For an indulgent upgrade, add-ons are available: Sustainable Canadian Lobster Meat ($78), Sustainable Surf Clam ($28), Crispy Whitebait ($20), and Crispy Salted Egg Yolk Fish Skin ($20).
Dim Sum 4.5/5
Highlights from the special Dim Sum lunch menu include the Truffle, Pumpkin & Water Chestnut Dumpling, Shrimp & Crab Dumpling, Crispy Taro Fritter with Chicken Sustainable Prawns & Mushroom. Both dumplings boasted soft, chewy skins with juicy fillings, while the taro fritter had a light, airy crust that paired beautifully with the creamy taro and well-seasoned interior.
Buddha Jumps Over The Wall 4.5/5
Buddha Jumps Over The Wall is a nourishing soup prepared with a dash of premium yellow rice wine from Mansong Wine Estate and simmered over low heat. Packed with tender herbal chicken, abalone, fish maw, sea cucumber and dried scallops, it was comforting and flavourful with depth and richness.
Stuffed Morel Mushrooms 3.5/5
Available during lunch and dinner, Stuffed Morel Mushrooms ($68) is a limited-time special. Filled with sustainable shrimp mousse and water chestnuts, the presence of Yunnan black truffle enhanced the earthy flavour of the mushrooms. Chinese yam and edamame complemented the dish with added texture and flavour.
Mapo Tofu 2.8/5
5 ON 25's rendition of Mapo Tofu combined two colours of beancurd and was elevated with sea cumber and fish maw. While its firmer tofu and a much more pronounced peppercorn flavour deviated from traditional map tofu with firm beancurd, it offered a different experience of enjoying the dish.
Turbot 4.5/5
Live seafood selections offer farmed Turbot. We had it steamed Hong Kong style, showcasing the fish at its best with buttery texture and delicate sweetness.
Master Stock Braised Barley-Fed Beef Short Rib & Baby Abalone 4.5/5
Master Stock Braised Barley-Fed Beef Short Rib & Baby Abalone was noteworthy. It featured fork-tender short ribs that were unctuous and flavorful, coated in a savoury, sweet, and malty sauce.
Wu Liang Ye Flambéed Claypot Baked Jasmine Rice 4/5
The Wu Liang Ye Flambéed Claypot Baked Jasmine Rice was a showstopper with its dramatic tableside flambé presentation. Topped with braised jade tiger abalone, Cantonese cured sausage, Romanesco and rice crisp, every bite was an interplay of flavours and textures, and the amount of moreish scorched rice crust achieved made it even more satisfying.
Mandarin Entremet 4.5/5
Dessert was well-considered and exquisite — Mandarin Entremet ($16), which delighted with airy pineapple sponge cake, light vanilla mousse, glutinous rice, and black rock sugar.
Six set lunch and dinner menus are available from $98 per person, served in the main dining hall or private dining suites – Emerald (up to 12 guests, minimum spend of $1,800) and Ruby (up to eight guests, minimum spend of $1,200).
