From 2 to 15 February and 19 February to 3 March 2026, diners can indulge in thoughtfully curated six- to eight-course set lunch and dinner menus, priced from S$168 per person. Each menu is designed to honour tradition while showcasing the kitchen’s precision and respect for premium ingredients.

The experience begins with an auspicious toss of King Scallop & Salmon Roe Yu Sheng, where plump, sweet scallops meet bursts of briny salmon roe. Light, refreshing, and textural, it sets the tone for a meal defined by balance and elegance.

One of the most luxurious courses is the Double-Boiled Superior Bird’s Nest with Crab Roe, Crab Meat & Black Caviar. Deeply nourishing, delicately sweet, and layered with umami richness. It is a dish that reflects both celebratory indulgence and classic Cantonese restraint.

Seafood takes centre stage with the Steamed Dong Xing Grouper with Minced Pork, Preserved Vegetable & Black Bean. The fish is silky and pristine, gently enhanced by savoury accents that add depth without overwhelming its natural sweetness.

Another standout is the Braised Three-Head South African Abalone & Oyster in Abalone Sauce, featuring tender, prized abalone paired with prawn-paste-stuffed oysters. Rich yet measured, the dish embodies the quiet confidence of refined Cantonese cooking.

Comfort and indulgence meet in the Braised Hong Kong Noodles with Canadian Lobster Meat, where bouncy egg noodles soak up a fragrant lobster broth, finished with buttery notes and lobster oil for a glossy, luxurious finish.

Desserts are light, soothing, and restorative. Perfectly paced to conclude the feast. The Chilled Peach Gum with Water Chestnut, Fungus, Red Date & Lotus Seed is gently sweet and refreshing, offering a moment of calm after the richness of the preceding courses.

Traditional festive pastries follow, including the Fried Osmanthus Pastry with its delicate floral aroma, Fried Glutinous Rice Cake that is golden and satisfyingly chewy, and Pan-Fried Water Chestnut Cake, crisp-edged with a subtle sweetness and pleasant crunch.

• On 16 February 2026, lunch will be served from 11:30am to 2:30pm, with dinner available in two seatings from 5:45pm to 7:30pm and 8:30pm to 10:15pm.

Diners celebrating within the first 15 days of the Lunar New Year will receive a set of limited-edition Ritz-Carlton red packets and a pair of mandarin oranges per reservation, adding an extra layer of festive charm to the experience. Pre-payment is required for all bookings.

Vegetarian Yu Sheng and Pen Cai options are also available for takeaway, making it easy to share the spirit of the season with loved ones at home.
