Chinese New Year at Hawker Hall
Welcome the Year of The Rat with a hearty Chinese banquet or an affordable yum cha feast.
Overview
Singaporean-inspired Hawker Hall is getting into the Lunar New Year spirit just as you'd expect: with program of delicious fun. Not only is it hosting a special yum cha offering, complete with booze specials, but also a series of lavish Chinese banquets.
Available for lunch right up until Monday, January 27, the limited-edition yum cha menu clocks in at just $33 per person. That'll see you feasting your way through six shared dishes, with creations like crispy chicken wontons matched with green chilli soy, curry duck bao, and steamed pork and water chestnut dumplings teamed with oyster sauce. Add on extras like crispy coconut prawns, or fried rice with crab and wood ear mushroom, for an easy $9.50 each. What's more, you'll find five different brews from Wolf of the Willows on tap, available to match for just $3 each.
Things step up a notch across Chinese New Year weekend, with a special celebratory banquet on offer each night from Saturday, January 25 until Monday, January 27. This one features four shared courses, heroing the classics. Think Peking duck noodle soup loaded with wontons, a signature riff on sesame prawn toasts done with house made sweet and sour caramel soy sauce, and Xinjian-style lamb ribs teamed with pickled cucumber and smoked yogurt. And you can end it all on a sweet note with some Chinese doughnuts and toasted coconut sorbet. This one's $68 each and can only be booked from 6pm for dinner.
