Usher in the Year of the Dragon at The Chairman’s Lounge in Pan Pacific Orchard

Pan Pacific Orchard pulls out all the stops for its first Lunar New Year with a new private dining venue, gourmet festive creations and curated banquet packages

Regal, grand and elegant, the Year of the Dragon roars into prosperity at Pan Pacific Orchard. Abundance is in the air, from unveiling a brand new epicurean destination to thoughtfully crafted gourmet treats. Each offering is as nourishing as it is decadent, perfectly capturing the essence of graceful luxury synonymous with the five-star property.

All eyes are on The Chairman’s Lounge as it makes a dazzling entrance as a newly minted private dining space. Poised to be a highly coveted dining destination to ignite the Chinese New Year celebrations, the 16-seater sanctuary is a poetic tribute to joyous feasting, gathering and imbibing. Threading a line between opulence and elegance, the space offers panoramic views of the verdant Forest Terrace and stately interiors lined with the mesmerising 20-panel calligraphy masterpiece by the late artist and Cultural Medallion winner, Chua Ek Kay.

At the helm is renowned Chinese master chef Leung Wing Cheung, the former executive chef of Si Chuan Dou Hua who brings over 40 years of experience, finesse and flair. Whether it is premium Australian lobster or the fleshy matsutake mushrooms, chef Leung’s ability to draw out the natural flavours of these ingredients with minimal seasoning represents the highest standards of Cantonese cooking.

For reunion dinner, look no further than Leung’s set menus worthy of any royal feast. From January 22 to February 24, toss up with the Prosperity Exotic Garden Yu Sheng, where prized ingredients of succulent poached lobster, whisky-infused sea cucumber, black truffle oil and hand-crafted osmanthus sauce satisfy the taste buds. The playful ensemble ensues with luxurious creations of double-boiled supreme soup, enriched with fish maw, sea cucumber and fresh crab claw, and a decadent treasure trove of glutinous rice stuffed with velvety foie gras and crispy-skinned chicken paired alongside pan-seared dried oysters.

Want these delectable bounties to go? Whether you’re playing host or crashing the celebrations, chef Leung's exclusive Lunar New Year gourmet takeaways will surely impress. Aside from the Prosperity Exotic Garden Yu Sheng, other delectable goodies such as the Grand Fortune Pen Cai and the multi-layered ingot-shaped Nian Gao also make for auspicious treats.

For couples looking to usher in the Dragon Year on a grand scale, it’s always a good idea to secure a spot early before venues get all snagged up. At the Pan Pacific Orchard, there are two spanking new ballrooms: The Claymore Ballroom, nestled among the clouds on level 18, accommodating up to 430 distinguished guests; and the intimate Scott’s Room which holds up to 60 guests. The all-inclusive packages ensure a memorable banquet experience fitted with lavish communal set menus, stunning floral displays, free-flowing tipples and even a luxurious one-night stay in the deluxe room.
