3. Do More Than Prosper, Do It Your Way: The King Leads the Way as He Encourages Fans to Reimagine Lunar New Year
BURGER KING®’s Chilli Crab Burgers
Our Lunar New Year gatherings may well be smaller this year, but that doesn’t mean your meal needs to be. From today, the King challenges all Singaporeans to reimagine their favourite Lunar New Year traditions – and celebrate it your way. To lead the charge and help fans appreciate that different isn’t all bad, BURGER KING® is unveiling its big new taste with the Ultimate Chilli Crab Double Salmon Burger ($9.50 ala carte) and Chilli Crab Long Chicken Burger ($5.90 ala carte).
Yes, that’s right – this time, the delicately balanced pink salmon patties of the Ultimate Double Salmon Burger will be doused in divinely sweet yet savoury, spicy and supremely satisfying chilli crab sauce. Bursting with flavour you’d expect from Chilli Crab, the thick, velvety sauce is loaded with abundant swirls of egg and fresh-cut chillis, topped with crispy lettuce and nestled between a freshly baked sourdough bun – to maximise sauce soak up.
Of course, we all know that the sauce is the best part of any chilli crab dish. That’s why the King is also serving Chilli Crab Fries ($3.20, regular) this Lunar New Year – so you can mop up all that saucy goodness with our golden, crispy fries. Due to popular demand, the King has also issued a new decree – fans can now upgrade the fries in their order to Chilli Crab Fries for just $0.90! Just when you thought life couldn’t get better, fans will be able to buy extra sauce separately. Double the richness and get an a la carte portion of the limited edition Chilli Crab Sauce at just $2.90 per tub, to reimagine your meal and take it to the next level. Or if you just want more sauce on your Chilli Crab Burgers, you can add it on at just $2.
“Chilli Crab isn’t the dish you first associate with Lunar New Year, in part because we go to great lengths to avoid using sharp objects on the first day of Lunar New Year to ensure our good luck and fortune stay intact. However, we’re also acutely aware that this year’s celebrations will be a little different, so we challenged ourselves to reimagine our limited edition Lunar New Year burger. We decided to embrace that difference by surprising and delighting our fans with our Chilli Crab burgers that would excite their taste buds, as well as remind them of happy, extended family dinners gone by. Even if you’re not spending time with your extended family this year, you can still celebrate it your way,” commented Irene Tay, Marketing Director, BURGER KING® Singapore.
As always, there are no Lunar New Year surcharges to indulge at BURGER KING®. Prices are kept affordable at $10.80 for the Ultimate Chilli Crab Double Salmon Meal and $7.80 for the Chilli Crab Long Chicken Meal. All meals come with fries (M) and Minute Maid® Refresh Orange drink (S).
To truly celebrate Lunar New Year your way, BURGER KING® is serving up a number of Starbuys, but with a festive twist. Fans who love traditional sweets will enjoy the Golden Pie ($1.60), filled with smooth mung bean paste and generous bites of fresh coconut – a true union of the beloved Ang Ku Kueh and Kueh Bangkit, all wrapped up in a crispy pie crust.
Other Starbuys include:
Huat Huat Box ($6.80)
A true pot of gold complete with two mexican drumlets, a large serving of onion rings and six nuggets. All for good fortune and double the huat this Lunar New Year.
Huat Huat Orange Strawberry Float ($2.80)
Need more sweetness and wealth in your life? Let us take the most auspicious Lunar New Year fruit to a refreshing new level.
All items are available at BURGER KING® restaurants island-wide.

9. It’s An HAE-PIC Chinese New Year With Texas Chicken’s All-New Hae Bee Hiam Chicken
Eat your way to an Ox-picious new year with Texas Chicken’s all-new HAE-pic Chinese New Year menu, available for a limited time period from 28th January to 3rd March 2021 at all outlets.
After traversing through majestic, stormy seas for months, the Texas Chicken Crew has found the legendary culinary treasure – the golden-orange Hae Bee Hiam Chicken!
Using only 100% fresh chicken that are delivered daily to the restaurants, they are coated with a special Hae Bee Hiam recipe made with dried shrimps, that are fried till fragrant with belacan, shallots and other spices, and orange breadcrumbs.
Before they are served, more crispy Hae Bee Hiam orange breadcrumbs are sprinkled onto the fried chicken to enhance the rich aroma and give it a nice golden-orange colour and satisfying crunch with every bite.
The well-balanced combination of umami taste and subtle spiciness beautifully complements the natural flavour of the tender fresh chicken, making it a delicious Chinese New Year treat for all, young and young-at-heart.
As you sink your teeth into the tantalising chicken, enjoy the glorious sight of abundant golden Hae Bee Hiam orange breadcrumbs falling onto your plate – symbolism of the Chinese phrase “遍地黄金（Bian Di Huang Jin)”, which translates to bountiful wealth and good fortune everywhere.
On the inspiration behind the debut of the Chinese New Year Hae Bee Hiam Chicken, Mr Eugene Lim, Director of Brand & Marketing of Select Group, the company that operates Texas Chicken, said: “We want to create a flavour that resonates strongly with Singaporeans, especially during Chinese New Year, and Hae Bee Hiam has always been a popular condiment in Asian cooking. Its unique sweet, savoury and spicy umami taste simply whets appetite, even at the mention of its name. After much testing, we found the right Hae Bee Hiam recipe that goes amazingly well with our succulent, tender fried chicken!”
“The auspicious golden-orange colour of our Hae Bee Hiam Chicken is also a symbolic way for us to wish our diners overflowing happiness and prosperity in the Year of the Ox”, he added.
In the spirit of bringing even more ”旺” or “Huat” to diners this Chinese New Year, Texas Chicken also introduces the new Pineapple Butter Biscuit, which is their version of the favourite pineapple tarts. Glazed with pineapple jam to give a sweet and tangy taste, the soft and fluffy biscuits, that are baked daily to ensure their freshness, are must-haves to complete a meal. Plus, sip on the refreshing Sjora Mango Peach drink for a fruity tingle while you enjoy the food.
Have a HAE-PIC Chinese New Year
A variety of the HAE-Pic Chinese New Year meal choices are available for ordering at the outlets or to be sent to your doorstep via delivery options. The well-known American quick-service chicken concept restaurant uses only 100% fresh chicken that are delivered to the restaurants daily to ensure that the juiciness and tenderness of the meat are maintained at its optimal level.
Kickstart your CNY feasting with the 2-Piece Hae Bee Hiam Chicken Set, priced from $10.60, which comes with two pieces of chicken, one small mashed potato, one pineapple butter biscuit, and one regular Sjora Mango Peach.
For couples or those with bigger appetites, try the 5-Piece Hae Bee Hiam Chicken Combo, priced from $29.90. The combo includes five pieces of chicken, four pieces of chicken tenders, one large mashed potato, two pineapple butter biscuits, and two regular Sjora Mango Peach.

10. Receive Bountiful Blessings of the Turn with Si Chuan Dou Hua’s Inspiring Chinese New Year Treats
A great start to the year is a sign of even better things to come. With you always as your trusted dining partner, Si Chuan Dou Hua is kicking off 2021’s Chinese New Year celebrations with a bountiful array of inspiring Chinese New Year delicacies, available for dine-in, takeaways or for delivery.
Taking a leaf out of age-old wisdom 扭(牛)转乾坤，meaning to radically turn things around, Si Chuan Dou Hua’s Executive Sichuan Chef Zeng Feng (执行四川主厨曾锋师傅), Executive Cantonese Chef Leung Wing Chung (执行广东主厨梁永祥师傅) and Consultant Chef Peter Tsang (顾问曾镜雄师傅) have created exquisite culinary treasures expressing this wisdom to partake in your celebrations.
Starting from 11 January to 26 February 2021, usher in the year of the Golden Ox at Si Chuan Dou Hua Restaurant with superbly curated menus and festive traditions. The restaurant’s Lunar New Year set menus are available from $88 onwards per person.
Spin and Toss To Ring In Good Fortune
For a dose of good luck, spin and toss with Si Chuan Dou Hua’s Trio of Yusheng Collection. 2021 is the Year of the Metal Ox, which comes along once in 60 years. The time has come for the tide to turn in your favour.
Headlining this year’s specialty treats is the Prosperity Pufferfish Yusheng with Bitter Gourd and Fresh Greens (可爱牛仔河豚银鱼凉瓜捞).
For the fifth year running, Si Chuan Dou Hua Restaurant is the only Chinese restaurant in Singapore to exclusively present the fugu (pufferfish) sashimi with the prosperity Yusheng toss. This year, the fugu sashimi has been delicately shaped into the face of an endearing ox, and this can be savoured with Consultant Chef Peter Tsang’s Yusheng dish.
Translucent jade coloured bitter gourd petals, shaped like a flower and presented on ice, is the highlight of this Yusheng. Bitter gourd contains incredibly healthy compounds called cucurbitacins, and this wonder ingredient has been purposefully added to remind diners that at the end of bitterness comes sweetness. And just as the above saying goes, the bitter gourd’s unmistakable astringent flavour has been tamed by Chef Peter Tsang. He skillfully removed the whitish inner pith of the deseeded fruit and had the bitter gourd soaked in water overnight. This process also gives the bitter gourd an extra crunch. The Yusheng sauce is well balanced with honey allowing only hints of bitter gourd juice to come through, available at $198 only at the TOP of UOB Plaza outlet.
Solely presented at Si Chuan Dou Hua at PARKROYAL on Beach Road, Executive Sichuan Chef Zeng Feng’s Prosperity Beef Tongue Yusheng (大吉大利椒麻牛舌捞起) is in itself a picture of celebration. The huge bloom shaped by braised beef tongue slices get all the attention, but watch out also for the pseudo beef tongues — actually celtuce sliced thinly and nicely curled up at the base of the plate.
Chef Zeng Feng says, “Celtuce is referred to as beef tongues in the olden days. This dish, quintessentially Si Chuan in style and flavour, is, in essence, a cold appetiser dish. The salad vegetables and celtuce add textures and a refreshing mouthfeel, the bit of spice just enough to freshen you up.” Available at $98 per order only at Si Chuan Dou Hua at PARKROYAL on Beach Road.
Prosperity Exotic Garden with Bolete Mushroom in Homemade Bolete Mushroom and Osmanthus Sauce (金牛发财大捞生) is a healthy composition put forth by Executive Cantonese Chef Leung Wing Chung, who is helming the kitchen at the newly refurbished Si Chuan Dou Hua at PARKROYAL on Kitchener Road.
Mushroom and Osmanthus Sauce ( 金牛发财大捞生)
An ensemble of more than 10 types of fresh vegetables such as green and red lettuce, red and yellow beetroot, turnip, soybean sprouts, kelp, cucumber, carrot, mango, bamboo pith, this colourful assortment is further dressed with Japanese Matsutake and cordyceps flower. Strips of fresh Cep, also known as the Bolete Mushroom （牛肝菌）, specially sourced from Belgium are flown in twice per week. This prized ingredient often seen on menus in fining dining restaurants costs as much as $160 per kg and is known to be one of the finest varieties of mushroom gourmands would appreciate.
Much thought has gone into perfecting an osmanthus sauce that is light yet flavourful and inviting for the senses. To coax the complex fragrance out of the osmanthus, Chef Leung Wing Chung gently boils dried osmanthus over a small fire for an hour, then tops it off with homemade vegetable stock and injects extra bite and an earthy scent into this Yusheng sauce with Cep bits.
Chef Leung Wing Chung says, “I have noticed that healthier options excite diners more than ever. Rather than to top off the Yusheng with beef to celebrate the year of the Ox, I have specially sourced for fresh cep, called 牛肝菌 in Chinese, all the way from Europe to make this a healthier toss.”
He has chosen to plate Yusheng in a deep bowl sitting on top of a bed of dry ice. “The server adds a splash of water and the dish comes alive. Like the cow’s breath that has rocked the skies.” He laughs, “An actual spin on the bowl just before you toss puts you in a joyful mood, so toss and spin you will, and get set to receive showers of blessings.”
A bevy of textures and colour on its own, upsize this Yusheng the way you want by adding fish, abalone or lobster sashimi. If you fancy, all of the above for your celebrations! Otherwise, this vegetarian-friendly Yusheng makes a lovely treat for veggie lovers and may well stay on the menu as your favourite appetiser dish on your next visit to the restaurant. Available from $98, only at Si Chuan Dou Hua at PARKROYAL on Kitchener Road.
Festive Takeaways
