Make the most out of your mealtime with our delicious round-up of timely treats
This week’s recommendations are a delectable mix of Chinese New Year menus and regular à la carte dishes from different restaurants across the island. If you want to dive straight into the festive celebrations, we recommend you visit the popular dim sum chain Tim Ho Wan for its seasonal offerings exclusive to the occasion. Or, if you’re looking different, Ginett’s team has created a special menu of contemporary French fusion dishes cooked up with auspicious ingredients.
Saving your appetite for traditional CNY dishes next week? It won’t be a problem when you can savour local chef Ace Tan’s progressive Asian cuisine with a pop-up menu at sister restaurant Stellar at 1-Altitude. Then, end the week with a lavish brunch of breakfast staples at newly-opened Barossa at VivoCity or decadent steaks at Morton’s The Steakhouse.

The CNY feasting has started and to ring in the Year of the Ox, the culinary team has created five French-Chinese inspired dishes, available for dinner throughout the month. There’s no better way to commence the meal than with the Hamachi carpaccio, a modern take on the quintessential yusheng and a medley of fresh carpaccio, crunchy winter radish and cucumber, and crisp homemade crackers drizzled with zingy sour plum dressing.
Mains give you three delicious options—perfect for pasta lovers is the grilled lobster taglioni tossed with garlic, chilli and XO sauce, while those who can’t get enough of meat may opt for the crispy suckling pig on a bed of sweet pumpkin puree as well as sautéed broccolini and tart kumquats. Dessert is the pineapple tart tatin, which takes cues from the famous French upside-down apple tart. Book here.
