Fancy some premium yu sheng (or lo hei) to toss with family and friends this Lunar New Year? Check out Jekyll & Hyde’s offerings: Jekyll Prosciutto di Parma Yusheng featuring dried cured Italian ham, Kurobuta shaved ham, crispy pork floss and classic minced bak kwa; or the Hyde Sea Treasure Yusheng with mini abalone, ikura, smoked salmon, crispy fish skin and topped with the crowning glory of marinated jellyfish. As a pescetarian, it’s delightful to see a creative seafood version of yu sheng, and the crunchy jellyfish adds a positively tasty texture.
Do you know what goes well with yu sheng? Special CNY cocktails! Their Mandarin Gallery made with gin, mandarin honey and orange bitters is really refreshing. The other option is Bak Kwa O.F. made with butter bak kwa washed bourbon, caramel miso, and homemade spiced bitters - savoury and sweet in one drink. I say, try them both and you won’t regret it.
Also on Jekyll & Hyde’s Lunar New Year menu is Blooming Garden Poon Choy, Jekyll’s 8 Treasures Glutinous Rice, and Huat Pork Hock.

If you are a chilli crab fan, then you can have a go at BURGER KING'S Ultimate Chilli Crab Double Salmon Burger or Chilli Crab Long Chicken Burger this Chinese New Year.
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, chilli crab sauce with abundant swirls of egg and fresh-cut chillis. The portion of salmon is actually pretty generous and the sauce not sweet but could definitely be spicier. If you can take the heat, I would suggest adding your own chillis to the burger to elevate the experience.
Of course, we all know that the sauce is the best part of any chilli crab dish. That’s why Burger King is also serving Chilli Crab Fries! For something sweet, the King is offering the Golden Pie 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. There's also the Huat Huat Orange Strawberry Float.
Tailored to the spiciness level locally, Wang Pai has created a Chinese New Year special snack that is the fusion of Restaurant Grade Hokkaido Scallops paired with King Oyster mushrooms.
Together with their concoction of sweet-spicy sauce, the snack is dangerously addictive. Simply open the seal and snack straight from the snack pack at your own convenience.
Besides the Hokkaido Spicy Mushroom Scallops, Wang Pai is also offering Caramelised Pork Shuddling, much like traditional Roasted Charred Pork but still different; and Crunchy Pork Cracker complete with the experience of a pork crackling crunch.
