Ushering in Chinese New Year 2026 with quiet confidence and understated luxury,
Ya Ge (雅阁) at
Orchid Hotel Singapore presents Prosperity in Full Bloom, a thoughtfully curated festive showcase that honours tradition, craftsmanship and auspicious flavours. Available for both dine-in and takeaway from
1 January to 3 March 2026, the offering spans six meticulously designed set menus, à la carte highlights, and an extensive range of festive takeaway delicacies, making it equally suited to intimate family gatherings or grand reunion feasts.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Nian Gao with Gula Melaka and Sweet Potato
Prosperity Lion Nian Gao
Steamed Radish Cake with Conpoy and Chinese Sausage
