Made with a sourdough base, the bak kwa pizza also contains San Marzano tomatoes, smoked scamorza, sauteed leeks, fresh lychee and a dash of spicy chilli oil for that additional spice kick. As for the cocktail, it is aptly named to reflect all the nosy relatives that you will meet during this festive period and the cocktail is concocted with oolong calvados, clarified peach puree, fresh sage cordial, soda and finished with sage leaves. These items will be available from now to 13 February for dine-in and the pizza is also available for online ordering.

You can also spice up the Year of the Tiger with the sauce pack or get them individually, priced at $15 for the crowd favourite Chilli Crunch, $12.90 for the Jalapeno Hot Sauce and $12.90 for the Mild Tomato Sauce. Each of the sauces have their own unique flavour and usage, with my favourite being the Chilli Crunch with the fiery blend of garlic, onion and arbol chillies. Add them into your CNY dishes and impress your guests during gatherings.

The wok-fried radish cake comes with plump lobster claw meat and shrimp while the fried rice has lots of texture from the egg, crab meat and generous topping of tobiko. The steamed dumplings are something that you should try as inside the delicate chewy skin is a sweet milk custard or orh-nee paste. Since it is the new year season, there will be the chewy nian gao and crunchy water chestnut cake.

These dishes are available as ala carte orders or you can get the Auspicious Blossom Taster Set for 2 pax at $53 nett that is exclusive on delivery platforms (link below).

Launched on 17 January, you can now get the Taiwanese braised pork rice with housemade preserved vegetables at all of their outlets at JEM, ION Orchard and SingPost Centre. Available as a rice set from $10.60, the braised pork rice set comes with either 3 pieces of chicken nuggets, 2 pieces of crispy chicken, 3 pieces of chicken wings, 1 juicy thigh cutlet or sweet potato fries, together with an egg-drop soup and soft drink. You can even upgrade your drink at $1.90 to the Monga’s Fruit Tea of Roselle Tea with Rainbow Jelly or Lime Tea with Rainbow Jelly.

The braised pork belly that has been seasoned and cooked to an almost gelatinous texture, with the perfect fat to meat ratio, sits on a bed of fluffy Japanese pearl rice. Accompanying it are the onsen egg, lettuce and housemade preserved vegetables, the latter with a tangy flavour to cut through the fattiness of the pork belly. Come March this year, there will also be a new item added into the menu, a fusion dish of Taiwanese Braised Pork with Mashed Potatoes that is available as an ala carte order at $5.90.

The cake is made with fresh blueberries which resulted in a tender and moist inside while the topping of crumbs gives it a nice texture contrast. I like that they have added lemon zest and lemon juice to the cake so that it creates a refreshing factor, and you will not feel surfeited eating it. The cake is also available as an ala carte order of $88.

The Fortune Dessert Box is a sampling box of their bakes such as a mini lemon cake with strawberry frosting that has a cute tiger decorative, ondeh ondeh pandan madeline, lemon lime meringue tarts, blueberry lemon crumble cake and a cream cheese brownie with lotus cookie. With this dessert box, you can plan for a high tea session at home. What is CNY without all the snacking, and J Petite Patisserie has a lineup of cookies from their signature pineapple tarts to the popular and unique laksa cookies, and a lineup of butter cookies that are black sesame, coffee, cornflake and spicy peanut flavoured.

You will experience the euphoric sensation of biting into one of these juicy tender chickens with the umami flavour and texture from the coating, leaving behind a trail of breadcrumbs, similar to one of the auspicious phrases of 遍地黄金 (bian di huang jin) that you normally hear in yusheng. Besides ordering the chicken as it is, you can also get the Golden Floss Wrap that contains the same dried spicy sambal, sweet chicken floss and chicken tenders. Rounding up the meal is the Pineapple Butter Biscuits, a homage to everyone’s favourite pineapple tarts, and this time round, Texas Chicken’s popular Honey Butter Biscuits has been glazed with pineapple jam to give it a nice sweet tangy flavour.

One of their best-sellers is their radish cake for Chinese New Year and this year, you can order the Radish Cake with Conpoy and Preserved Meat ($65) via the link below. The cake mixture consisting of white radish, rice flour and glutinous flour has been mixed in with Chinese sausage, waxed meat, dried scallop, dried prawn and Chinese mushroom. You can either steam it for a fuss free comforting meal or pan-fried it to give it a nice crispy edge. I very much preferred the latter option, and will give it a good drizzle of sweet soya sauce and chilli sauce.

Over at Chloe’s Mixing Bowl, the team has created a whole list of sweet and savoury snacks that you can delight your guests when they come over for the new year’s gatherings. Starting with their popular Seaweed Crisp ($22) that is deep fried over high heat that resulted in an addictive crunch, this tub of snacks will be consumed very quickly. Other great snacks to go with beer is the Fortune Crabstick Crisp ($20), made with crabstick from DoDo Singapore and the Snow White Fritter ($18) which are rolled, deep fried and dusted with fine sugar.

What is the new year snacking without the cookies and Chloe’s Mixing Bowl has three unique flavours such as the Golden Cornflake Crunch ($18), Double Choc Blossom ($20) and Spring Matcha Melts ($20). My pick will be the Spring Matcha Melts as these butter cookies are mixed in with an earthy bitter matcha powder, which gives it a nice balance of flavours that you will not feel surfeited even after popping down a few of them.

The party box is good for 4 pax and comes with all the ingredients packed separately so that you can have fun in DIY-ing your burger based on your preferences. There are sesame brioche buns, an assorted 11 garnishes’ platter, house savoury jam, cheddar cheese slices, choice of patties and French fries in the box. You can choose between patties with beef, pork, fish, chicken or vegetarian, and add-on other toppings such as fried egg, balasamic sauteed onions or sauteed mushrooms. What is a party without drinks and you can complete the meal with a selection of drinks that you can add-on to the burgers such as milkshakes, carbonated soft drinks or coffees.

All of us had fun constructing our own customized burgers and for mine, I made it with the Natural Beef Senior patty that is juicy, despite it being a delivered item, had a nice beefy taste and nicely seasoned. The brioche bun, the one item that binds all the garnishes and patty together, is wonderfully soft and fluffy, a nice contrast with all the other textures that you add into your burger.

The focus for this year’s set menus is on unique ingredients such as Yunnan solo clove black garlic and Hakka preserved vegetables that are added into the dishes. These Yunnan-style dishes will be available for dine-in, takeaway and delivery from 18 January to 15 February.

Start each festive meal with the Prosperity Abalone Yu Sheng ($68.80/$88.80) before indulging in the popular YUN NANS Prosperity Treasure Hot Pot ($298/$458) that comes in a golden broth base that has been stewed for more than six hours using Jinhua ham, old hens, pork bones and many other ingredients. To go with the umami broth, a medley of ingredients is added to it such as roast pork belly, wild golden fungus, sea cucumber, abalone, scallops, prawns, mushrooms, fish maw, cordyceps flowers, yam and Chinese cabbage.

For the new highlights in the set menus this year, there are three dishes that are in the spotlight, namely the Black Garlic Kampong Chicken Soup made with the fermented black garlic that is high in antioxidants with health benefits such as reducing risk of heart disease, protecting brain health and regulating blood sugar. The soup also contains dried scallops, bamboo pith and cordyceps flowers for that additional flavour and nutritional value. The Steamed Jade Perch, that is locally farmed, can be cooked either in spicy garlic lime or Hong Kong style. This fish is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and the meat has a smooth and delicate texture, and with the cooking method of the spicy garlic lime, this dish is very appetizing that will make you continue to eat more. Last but not least, the Steamed Glutinous Rice in Lotus Leaf is usually an oversight dish as most people would be full by then, but do not skip on this dish as the addition of the Hakka preserved vegetables gives it a nice balance of sweet and savoury, with a unique flavour and fragrance in every mouthful.
