Gather the whole family for these scrumptious CNY 2023 menus

Cassia at Capella Singapore is known for its refined and luxurious culinary creations, and its Chinese New Year specials are no exception. It offers two reunion dinner sets for 21 January, with mouthwatering courses like braised bird’s nest with caviar, stewed Inaniwa udon with king prawn, and Buddha Jumps Over the Wall filled with ingredients like fresh fish maw and Japanese dry scallop. Set lunches, dim sum and an à la carte menu are also available from 22 January to 5 February.

Don’t miss the Cassia Premium Lou Hei (which serves six to eight diners), where the traditional salad is paired with indulgent portions of abalone, lobster, bird’s nest and salmon, and drizzled with sweet apple sauce. Other must-try à la carte dishes include the suckling pig skin rolls (which are deliciously crunchy and stuffed with glutinous rice), braised South African abalone with sea cucumber, and crispy roasted Yorkshire pork belly (possibly one of the best roasted pork we’ve had). If you love Cantonese double-boiled soup, we recommend the chicken broth with fish maw, scallops and flower mushroom, which is warm, comforting and packed with umami. — Sara Yap
