A Lunar New Year Feast at Shangri-La Singapore
2026 arrives with a sense of grandeur and symbolism that feels especially fitting for the Year of the Horse. The centrepiece of the celebration is a magnificent revolving lantern (走马灯 / 跑马灯), representing movement, renewal, and the continuous turning of good fortune. Framed by elegant Yu Sheng presentations, the setting invites diners to begin the year with optimism, abundance, and joy.

The atmosphere strikes a graceful balance between celebratory opulence and refined elegance. An ideal for reunion dinners, meaningful gatherings, and unhurried festive feasts.
The meal opens with an Assorted Dim Sum platter that highlights technique and restraint. From the crisp Deep-fried King Prawn Pastry with Chinese Chives to the comforting Glutinous Rice Sesame Ball with Diced Chicken and Salted Fish, each bite is thoughtfully composed. The Steamed Grouper Dumpling with Asparagus and Steamed Scallop Dumpling with Egg White and Black Truffle lean towards clean, elegant flavours.
Served in a charming individual claypot, the Abundance Pen Cai is rich in both symbolism and substance. Beneath its modest appearance lies an impressive assembly of premium ingredients like abalone, sea cucumber, stuffed dace fish, pan-fried fish maw, dried scallop, goose web, roasted pork, soy sauce chicken, dried oyster, and a generous selection of vegetables including taro, white radish, baby Chinese cabbage, mushrooms, chestnut, and black moss.
The Double-boiled Chicken Soup with Dried Scallops and Fresh Matsutake Mushrooms offers a moment of calm amidst the celebratory spread. Clear and refined, yet full-bodied in flavour, the soup delivers gentle sweetness from the scallops and earthy depth from the matsutake. Comforting, restorative and nourishing flavours.
A highlight of many Lunar New Year tables, the Roasted Whole Suckling Pig arrives with golden, crackling skin and a fragrant stuffing of fried glutinous rice. The crisp exterior contrasts beautifully with the aromatic, savoury rice, adding richness and celebratory flair to this classic centrepiece.
The Cod Fillet in Rich Seafood Bisque is both comforting and indulgent. The fish is tender and buttery beneath its lightly crisp coating, while the seafood bisque delivers bold, concentrated flavours of the sea. Crispy rice adds texture and depth, making each mouthful satisfying.
Desserts conclude with Pumpkin Sago with Bird’s Nest which is presented in a petite pumpkin, is creamy and lightly sweet, elevated by the luxurious texture of bird’s nest. The Jin Jun Mei Peach Resin Coconut Pudding offers a chewy, nian gao-like bite, subtly perfumed with the refined aroma of Jin Jun Mei tea.
Shangri-La Singapore’s Lunar New Year experience is a thoughtful celebration of tradition, symbolism, and culinary craftsmanship. From the striking festive décor to the well-paced, ingredient-driven menu, the experience feels both celebratory and comforting.
