Overview

Celebrate the Year of the Snake with a prosperity-inducing feast at Song Bird – Neil Perry's recently launched three-level Chinese restaurant. Guided by head chef Mark Lee, a sprawling Chinese New Year banquet is being served up for lunch and dinner until February 10. 

Priced at $149pp, the menu features a curated 8-course feast spanning traditional ingredients said to bring good luck heading into the New Year. Of course, each dish will also showcase Song Bird's appreciation for high-end ingredients and tantalising flavours.

For instance, raw bigeye tuna served with iceberg lettuce and Sichuan dressing reflects the colour red for good fortune. Then, crisp lobster and scallop money bag dumplings signify prosperity, while poached Sun Farms heritage chicken and tea eggs symbolise renewal or fertility.

"Food plays a central role in Chinese New Year celebrations, and we've crafted a menu that honours tradition while offering a distinct Song Bird twist," says Perry. "It's the perfect way to ring in the new year with a feast of flavours and good fortune."
