Yì by Jereme Leung and Raffles Hotel Singapore have pulled out all the stops this year to bring us an exceptionally magnificent Lunar New Year. Ring in the Year of the Tiger with creations tailored to symbolise prosperity and abundance from Yì and Raffles Boutique. It might not be possible to book the beautiful private rooms at Yì anymore, seeing as we are already so near CNY, but I'll suggest that you try anyway. Are you ready to dazzle your loved ones with an exquisite and luxurious modern Chinese reunion feast? Here are some stunning dishes that you should most definitely order.

Red House Seafood - Best Pen Cai for a Prosperous & Auspicious Chinese New Year 2022!

 

Longstanding Red House Seafood is one of the oldest seafood restaurants in Singapore, and it's no surprise at all. Consistently sending out the tastiest seafood dishes crafted by old master chefs, the restaurant, which currently has 3 outlets, is always a hot spot for an amazing dinner, and intimate reunion feasts. The outlet at Grand Copthorne is the prettiest one of all, and is also a popular venue for wedding banquets. My family used to go to Red House Seafood alot when I was a kid, but as I grew up, we had fewer dinners together and haven't been back in awhile. After trying a few highlights from the Chinese New Year menu at Red House, I immediately told my family that we are heading back here for CNY!

Binary - New Restaurant at Palais Renaissance With One of the Best Breads & Cocktails in Singapore

The binary star appears as a single star but is in actual fact 2 stars that are so close to each other that they seem to shine as one. Inspired by the binary Star, Binary showcases Western and Asian dishes side by side and allows them to shine even brighter in complementary fashion. In addition, the restaurant occupies a prominent space at 01-01 of Palais Renaissance, echoing the binary code of 0 and 1. You have to agree that the restaurant can't be anymore aptly named! Opened by the same group that manages big names such as Sushi Kimura, Binary seems enroute to become one of the most popular kids in Orchard. Rocking a full house on a Monday evening, the casual restaurant boasts a straightforward menu of star ingredients presented in both Western and Asian style. So, even though the menu looks lean, you're looking at double the number of dishes available due to 2 cooking styles offered for each key ingredient. 

Oriole Coffee - Truffle Pizza, Truffle Ravioli, Truffle Scrambled Egg Burger & Delightful Christmas Drinks in Orchard!

 

In anticipation of the holiday season, Oriole Coffee at Pan Pacific Serviced Suites in Orchard has come up with a few trufflelicious dishes and delightful festive drinks! The reasonably-priced festive highlights are available from now till 28 February. And, if you're a self-proclaimed truffle lover, you should most definitely schedule a visit!

I have been going to Oriole Coffee since 2008. I remember always getting their beef cheek tagliatelle or fish and cheeks! Their Taisho cold brew is my go-to whenever I need a caffeine fix in town. 13 years old, and still going strong, that must say something about this joint that withstood the test of time.

Da Paolo Gastronomia - Quintessential Italian Favourites for a Dazzling Christmas Feast

Christmas has always been my favourite holiday because of all the wonderful roasts and bakes that I get to indulge in! While we might not be able to dine out with our extended families or entire friend group this season, we can still have cosy intimate feasts at home, especially with Da Paolo Gastronomia who has really stepped up their game this festive season with a slew of stunning holiday favourites and gift options that will add sparkle to every party. With a little less than 2 weeks to our favourite holiday season, it might be a tad daunting to put together a smashing party but Da Paolo Gastronomia is here to take care of everything. Leave it to the professionals, they say; and you can definitely trust Da Paolo Gastronomia. 

Rempapa - Chef Damian D'Silva's Signature Peranakan Classics & Unique New Heritage Cuisine Now at Park Place Residences PLQ

Fans of Chef Damian would have followed his journey from his days of cooking up a storm at Folklore, to his fantastic run at Restaurant Kin, and they surely would have heard through the grapevine about the opening of Rempapa, before any information was even officially released. It's no wonder the renowned rebel chef has garnered such a wide and loyal following — his Peranakan dishes are truly second to none. I admire and have always been impressed by Chef Damian's passion in keeping traditions and his family recipes alive. He tries to stop the loss of more heritage dishes by making sure that Peranakan cuisine is accessible, and has now come up with New Heritage cuisine to introduce a taste of almost-lost Peranakan flavours to the younger generations.
