Through an exquisite collection of set menus and takeaways, Executive Chinese Chef Edden Yap showcases his culinary artistry for a memorable Lunar New Year reunion at Pan Pacific Singapore.

As we usher in the Year of the Horse, Lunar New Year once again calls families back to the table. At Pan Pacific Singapore’s acclaimed Cantonese restaurant, Hai Tien Lo, treasured reunions take centre stage under Executive Chinese Chef Edden Yap. With 30 years of culinary experience at award-winning restaurants from Macau to Dubai, he brings a refined touch to every dish, rooted in time-honoured traditions that stir fond memories of home.

Meteoric Success Menu

His unique interpretations of traditional dishes have inspired the Lunar New Year menus, resulting in an exquisite feast that everyone in the family will enjoy. For Chef Edden, reunion gatherings are not merely about decadence, but about creating meaningful moments of togetherness around the table.

This philosophy is expressed through Hai Tien Lo’s eight Lunar New Year set menus, available from 23 January to 3 March 2026. Designed for both intimate gatherings and larger family reunions, each menu contains nostalgic flavours that are elevated to please every palate. Highlights include the Double-boiled Chicken Soup with Whole Abalone, Morel Mushroom and Sea Whelk, as well as the Steamed Canadian Sea Perch infused with aged tangerine peel, garlic and black beans. For those who appreciate exceptional ingredients, the Sautéed Japanese A5 Wagyu Beef and Wok-fried East Australian Lobster are sure to deliver a luxurious harmony of taste and texture.

The experience concludes on a sweet note with classics like Prosperity Nian Gao coated with peanuts and shredded yam, or Double-boiled Bird’s Nest with rock sugar and red dates, underscoring themes of harmony, longevity and abundance. Complementing the set menus is a Lunar New Year à la carte selection, featuring dishes like the Abundance Yu Sheng with whole abalone and lobster, and the richly layered Double Blessings Premium Treasure Pot.

Yu Sheng

No Lunar New Year celebration is complete without the ritual of lo hei, and Hai Tien Lo presents an elegant trio of Yu Sheng platters. Crowned with whole abalone and lobster, the Vitality Yu Sheng takes the spotlight, while classic and vegetarian variations ensure that anyone can enjoy this beloved tradition. Each platter is thoughtfully composed to reflect prosperity, vitality, and good fortune for the year ahead.

Beyond the restaurant, Hai Tien Lo extends its festive offerings to the home with a selection of Lunar New Year goodies, takeaways, and gifting options. For hosts seeking convenience without compromise, signature creations such as Poon Choy with abalone, fish maw, and lobster, alongside handcrafted favourites like Kueh Lapis, Prosperity Koi Fish Nian Gao, and Spicy Prawn Rolls, bring restaurant-quality indulgence to reunion feasts at home.
