"This Singaporean restaurant in the Pan Pacific Hotel is launching two days of festivities, on 21 and 22 January. The first day sees a four-course sharing dinner, and highlights include a rainbow yu sheng salad, which is known as a symbol of prosperity and abundance, and made with carrots, daikon, sweet purple potatoes, pickled ginger, fresh mango, and clementine, finished with black cod and black truffle. As a group, diners are invited to toss the salad: The higher the toss, the more prosperous your year will be. Other dishes include braised abalone; steamed seabass with XO sauce; native lobster stir-fried longevity noodles; and XO scallop fried rice. The second day features a choice of roast meat, including crispy pork belly, duck, and Hainanese chicken, before a native lobster laksa and black cod and more of that prosperity salad, rounded off by a Chinese New Year dessert buffet by executive pastry chef Cherish Finden. Other special dishes, showcasing Singaporean flavours will feature throughout the month, with the Saturday menu starting at £138 and the Sunday menu at £118 per person." - Shekha Vyas
