It’s that time of the year to lou hei again. But there are so many restaurant options to choose from. Where shall you begin? If you have a taste for spiciness, we recommend heading to Si Chuan Dou Hua for their Chinese New Year menus to herald in the festivities.
From 9 January through 5 February 2023, diners at Si Chuan Dou Hua can choose from a selection of Lunar New Year Set Menus. With a starting price of S$98++ per pax, it is affordable for groups of all kinds, from couples and small families to large gatherings.
Begin your feast with Abundance Treasures Yu Sheng, which combines Si Chuan Dou Hua’s signature La Zi Ji (“Chong Qing” Diced Chicken with Dried Chilli), Abalone, and Smoked Salmon Yu Sheng.
Braised Bird’s Nest with Fresh Fish Maw in Crab Meat Sauce.
The King Garoupa with Fresh Sichuan Peppercorn is exclusively served at Si Chuan Dou Hua at the PARKROYAL on Beach Road. This dish consists of an Indonesian king grouper steamed with spring onions to bring out the fish’s natural sweetness before being scented with Sichuan peppercorn for a punch of heat and distinctive numbing spice. For extinguishing the flames, use a liberal amount of spring onion sauce, which tames the heat without sacrificing flavor. Doubling the gastronomic pleasure, the Spicy Sichuan-Style Lobster is prepared in the traditional Sichuanese fashion by deshelling the lobster and cooking it in a mixture of Sichuan chili peppers.
Braised Lobster with Fish Paste Noodles in Superior Stock is another outlet-only dish that is not to be missed since its springy fish paste noodles perfectly complement its medallions of succulent lobster.
Fervour comes with a bowl of Double-boiled Chicken Broth with Sea Cucumber, Matsutake Mushrooms, and Dried Scallops. This dish, which has been boiled for nearly four hours, combines the best of the sea’s sweetness with the earthiness of mushrooms and the silkiness of chicken collagen.
Beautifying nourishment
Revitalise your zest for good food with the Braised Bird’s Nest with Fresh Fish Maw in Crab Meat Sauce. The dish’s rich and creamy texture, infused with enormous umami flavours, is a departure from the conventional soup presentation but yet satisfies the same cravings.
