Michelin-starred Szechwan cuisine with signature Mapo Doufu
"Further to a recent refurbishment, the interior still exudes luxury and elegance, but in an updated, understated manner. The head chef, who honed his craft at the Tokyo branch for over 12 years, champions a refined take on Chūka Sichuan cooking. Try his signature mapo tofu, or the stir-fried Hokkaido Mangalica pork – packed with bold flavours, it is also bursting with umami, thanks to the fatty pork belly and a blend of fermented bean sauces." - Michelin Inspector
"One-MICHELIN-Starred Sichuan-Cantonese specialist Shisen Hanten offers an intriguing proposition for Chinese New Year revellers." - Alvin Lim
"Instead of only large banquet sets, this one‑MICHELIN‑starred Sichuan‑Cantonese specialist invites intimate celebrations for two across three tiers from S$158++ per person, featuring a signature Crab Roe Foie Gras Chawanmushi with Bird’s Nest alongside Steamed Hybrid Grouper with Red Pickled Peppers, Sautéed Prawns in Superior Garlic Sauce, and Braised South African 4‑Head Abalone and Mushrooms in Oyster Sauce. Larger parties can pick from eight set menus (S$158++ to S$438++ per person), all beginning with an auspicious yu sheng draped in a dragon fruit sauce (pure peanut oil and fresh dragon fruit balanced by zesty tang). Further indulgences include deboned Roasted Whole Suckling Pig with Kaluga Caviar, Pan‑Fried A5 Wagyu Beef with Spicy Fermented Black Beans, and Stewed Turbot Fillet in Rich Stock with Shishito Peppers.

"The five-course lunch at two-Michelin-starred Shisen Hanten is pocket-friendly at $78++ and features chef Chen Kentaro’s signature Sichuan cuisine in the luxurious setting of Mandarin Orchard Singapore. Tuck into the likes of Foie Gras Chawanmushi With Crab Roe Soup, Stir-fried Beef And Cashew Nuts With Red Pepper and the famed Michelin inspector-recommended Chen’s Mapo Doufu served with Hokkaido rice." - Rachel Tan
