Gone are the days when diners have to refer to printed pamphlets or make a call to enquire about a particular restaurant’s ongoing festive promotions. This procedure is troublesome and let’s be frank—how many of us can remember all the details from a quick phone call? We are also certain that you are not going to rip out the ad from the newspapers and store it for reference.

With Lunar New Year around the corner, check out Celebrateatpark.com—it curates exciting dining options and offers by the restaurants under Park Hotel Group.

But of course, beyond these festive promotions, there will always be exciting deals for other occasions—such as Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day—happening all year round. You know what to do next. Bookmark the website.

You now no longer have to visit separate websites to find out what’s going on. Kudos to this seamless site!

This post is brought to you by Park Hotel Group.

Every year, there are festivities and occasions that we look forward to, because those are times when we would gather with our loved ones over good food. Chinese New Year is one of them, and family dinners are so precious.

Because it is a yearly tradition, we always pick the best restaurants for our dinners. Well, there is no need to scrimp when it comes to treating your family, yes?

Mitzo is a perennial favourite among each and everyone in our family, and its Lunar feast is nothing short of luxurious and resplendent.

We had first dips of the set menus and boy, you need to bring your family there. The modern Cantonese cuisine will wow both the young and old.

PROSPERITY DELIGHTS MENU

Most Chinese restaurants do huge set menus and you need an arsenal in order to dine, but Mitzo recognised the need for smaller menus because, well, a couple is a family too.

The Prosperity Delights I is a set menu for two (or more), and it is priced at S$128+  per person. It is also a menu with most of our favourites. In this menu, you get 6 items, ranging from soup to rice & noodles to desserts.

We were so won over by the soup. You may be puzzled; of all items, soup? Yes, soup—the Fish Maw Soup with Pumpkin, Bamboo Pith & Chicken Soup. With all that premium ingredients, the soup is naturally thickened and it was smooth and sweet in every sip.

Mains include Tea-smoked Duck, Braised Sea Bass with Roasted Pork Belly & Mushrooms and Stir-fried Scallops with Dried Oyster & Asparagus.

And then, we have the Lobster Fried Rice with Pork Liver & Preserved Sausage. As if it does not sound interesting enough, the real surprise comes when you take your first mouthful of rice. The brilliant chef added rice krispies for a textural crunch!

The dessert is a beautiful Dual Cream of Sweet Potato Served with Golden Pineapple Bag. The cream is similar to our usual almond cream (but better), with bits of sweet potato in between bites. And the pineapple bag is just so befitting of Chinese New Year; it is every bit tasty as it is auspicious. Your mum will be pleased.

AUSPICIOUS HARVEST MENU

Moving on to the big menu if you have a bigger dining group, we are looking at the Fortune Feast I at S$688++ per table (for 5) and S$1,288++ per table (for 10). Ready for what’s in?

It starts off with Mitzo’s signature Pearls of Prosperity Kanpachi Kingfish Yu Sheng. This is not your regular yu sheng; it is an elevated version with luxurious kingfish (chewy clear flesh) and the addition of lychee pearls that burst with sweetness.

This menu comes with the same Fish Maw Soup that we loved, and the much awaited pen cai. Luxuriate in the Superior Fortune Pot that is made up of abalone, dried scallop, flower mushroom, deep-fried fish maw, sea cucumber, roast duck, dried oyster, “hua diao” prawn, cabbage, white radish, lotus root, roasted pork belly and fa cai. That was a mouthful, but in other words, LOTS OF SUPERIOR INGREDIENTS.

Fortune Feast I also comes with a steamed live Soon Hock and Steamed Rice with Chinese Sausage, and the Dual Cream of Sweet Potato.

Another variation is Fortune Feast II (S$788++ for table of 5 and S$1,388++ for table of 10), which has the same yu sheng, soup and pen cai, as well as the Lobster Fried Rice that we really enjoyed. The desserts are the Dual Cream of Sweet Potato, as well as a Homemade Koi Fish Nian Gao.

FORTUNE FEAST MENU

Looking for an even bigger menu for big families and/or corporate dinners? Mitzo has several menus that cater to a group of ten, and they are Auspicious Harvest I (S$1,388++ for table of 10), Auspicious Harvest II (S$1,588++ for table of 10), Fortune Feast I (S$1,288++ for table of 10), Fortune Feast II (S$1,388++ for table of 10) and Fortune Feast III (S$1,488++ for table of 10).

They are pretty similar, with just a few varying items. Key items to look out for include are Stir-Fried XO Lobster Claw Topped with Shrimps & Seasonal Vegetables (available in Auspicious Harvest I), and Truffle Noodles with Lobster Claw & Prawn (available in Auspicious Harvest I and Fortune Feast III).

All sets for table of ten include the Pearls of Prosperity Kanpachi Kingfish Yu Sheng, Fish Maw Soup with Pumpkin, Bamboo Pith & Chicken Soup, Superior Fortune Pot, Dual Cream of Sweet Potato Served with Golden Pineapple Bag and Homemade Koi Fish Nian Gao.

Mitzo is known for its impressive range of artisanal and bespoke cocktails and the Spring Blossom—a smoky & sweet mezcal cocktail—is the best pairing to go with the dishes from the Chinese New Year menu.

Mitzo’s Chinese New Year set menus are available from 14 Jan 2017 to 11 Feb 2017.

If a yuletide celebration does not mean turkeys and log cakes, then Mitzo’s Holiday Champagne Brunch should tempt you.

If you are searching for an elegant venue to spend Christmas Day in or to usher into 2017, we highly recommend our all-time favourite Chinese restaurant and it is none other than Mitzo Restaurant & Bar at Grand Park Orchard.

Most of you are already familiar with Mitzo’s spectacular Weekend Dim Sum Brunch—where you can indulge in seafood supreme dishes and unlimited portions of gourmet dim sum and an option of free-flow champagne, selected cocktails, wines and beer. It is truly the Holy Grail of Chinese fine dining!

Say hello to Mitzo’s Holiday Champagne Brunch—which is essentially an amplified version of the current Weekend Dim Sum Brunch this festive. This Champagne Brunch features over 40 types of dishes and it is one luxurious treat you deserve.

If you have never dined at Mitzo before, it is about time you give this stellar establishment a shot. Trust us, you will only regret not visiting Mitzo earlier.

The fancy Chinese restaurant is helmed by Executive Head Chef Nicky Ng, whose previous stints include the honourable role of Executive Chef de Cuisine at Michelin-starred restaurant Hakkasan in New York City.

The Holiday Champagne Brunch is available from 11.30am to 2.30pm on the following dates: 24, 25, 31 Dec 2016 and 01 Jan 2017.

This 3-hour feast boasts an impressive selection of sweet and savoury items. There are over 40 varieties, so be prepared to be beyond spoilt for choice.

A few dishes are making an appearance exclusively for this holiday brunch only, namely Crispy Soft Shell Crab with Curry Floss, Deep-fried Lobster Claw wrapped with Salted Egg Puff, Steamed Scallop in Hollandaise Sauce and more.

“Mitzo’s Holiday Champagne Brunch offers 40 varieties of sweet and savoury dishes. Indulge in seafood supreme dishes, gourmet dim sum and unlimited portions of Mitzo’s Special Barbecue Pork.” 

Most epicureans may argue that seafood should always be served as is, but Mitzo’s deep-fried crustaceans might just change your mind about that.

Kudos to the A-team for achieving the impossible; the soft shell crab and lobster claw remains oh-so-tender despite being deep-fried. The curry floss and salted egg puff are incredibly light and make it easy to chomp through.

Mitzo is renowned for their Special Barbecue Pork and guess what? This signature dish is still part of the Holiday Champagne Brunch. FREE-FLOW, GUYS.

We still vividly recall our very first time savouring this divine char siew; fork-tender roasted pork coated with a crisp caramel which melts in your mouth. We had it way too many times, and if any, we are only loving it more and more.

The spread also includes Mitzo’s specialty roasts, wok dishes, a plethora of supreme seafood delights and the usual handcrafted dim sum such as charcoal liu sha baos and royal shrimp dumplings.

This all-you-can-eat fiesta costs S$88++ per adult and the price includes a choice of one glass of beer, champagne or wine.

While the cocktail and dim sum pairing might sound strange to first-timers, we have learnt to relish this intriguing concept. This unorthodox combination sure does grow on us like what a cheese and wine pairing does!

Which brings to our next point—top up S$60++ to enjoy free flow beers, champagne, wines and artisanal cocktails.

Should buffets not entice you, perhaps you may want to consider the two other 5-course Festive Set Menus instead. The Festive Merriment I and Festive Merriment II are priced at S$88++ and S$118++ per pax respectively.

There is a nominal top-up of S$30++ for two cocktails.

The Festive Merriment I Set showcases the Festive Steamed Dim Sum Platter (which comprises Steamed Lobster Har Gow, Scallop Dumpling and Chicken Dumpling topped with Shaved Truffles), Double-boiled Maka with Clam and Chicken, Braised Abalone and Asparagus King Prawn Skewers, Steamed Rice served with Truffle Wagyu Beef and Champagne Jelly.

On the other hand, Festive Merriment II includes a Festive Platter (which consists of Mitzo Special Barbecued Pork and Crispy Soft Shell Crab wrapped with Salted Egg Charcoal Puff), Double-boiled Abalone Soup with Winter Melon, Pork Ribs and Lotus Leaf, Steamed Live Boston Lobster, Poached Noodles topped with Pork Ribs and Champagne Jelly.

The oriental Champagne Jelly dessert is served in a gorgeous spherical glass, and contains refreshing rose tea crush and lychee caviar that explodes instantaneously in your mouth and topped off with edible flowers; no less!

For those who prefer to order from the a la carte menus, you will be pleased to know that the Festive Steamed Dim Sum Platter (S$38++), Steamed Live Boston Lobster (S$68++) and Champagne Jelly (S$18++) are also available as a la carte options.

Mitzo is also launching two festive tipples Yuletide Cheers and The Magic Julep during this festive period (between 10 Dec 2016 to 01 Jan 2017).

The Yuletide Cheers is a mixture of prosecco, whisky infused with chamomile tea, lemon juice, apple-rose syrup and topped with redcurrant foam. Whereas the Magic Julep is a concoction of egg white, passion fruit juice, lemon juice and rum infused with cinnamon and garnished with campari sugar and mint leaves.

The festive cocktails are available on the ala carte menu or part of pairing options of the set menu.

Have you realised that Chinese New Year (CNY) is only a mere few weeks away? It is scary how time flies, but we are only thankful that the upcoming festive public holiday means yet another opportunity to spend time with our loved ones.

And of course, we have to profess our love for Mitzo, right? It has always been one of our favourite dining destinations for Chinese gourmet and we are all ecstatic about the scrumptious festive sets, CNY-themed cocktails and takeouts specially for the upcoming Chinese New Year at this sexy Chinese restaurant.

Mitzo’s irresistibly groundbreaking renditions of Chinese classics are far from ordinary, yet by no means stray away from traditional practices. The CNY specials will all be available from 23 Jan 2016 to 22 Feb 2016 for both lunch and dinner.

By tradition, Lunar New Year is incomplete until everyone has tossed the yusheng. Celebrated Chef Nicky Ng – previously the head chef at Michelin-starred Hakkasan New York – and his A-team have created a unique reinterpretation of the classic Lo Hei.

The unexpected ingredients are unexpected choices for yusheng, especially the burst-in-your-mouth lychee caviars and crispy lotus root chips.

Mitzo’s Pearls of Prosperity Kingfish Yusheng (regular – S$68++, large – S$108++) is truly one of a kind. It uses superbly fresh Japanese Kanpachi Kingfish sashimi that is both sweet and rich in flavour and everything is plated so gorgeously.

A homemade savoury Chu Hou sauce which comprises garlic, ginger, sesame seeds, spices and soybeans is then drizzled all over, ready for you to toss to prosperity. You would have noticed that crispy lotus roots, fried salmon skin and toasted pistachos are too used to give the overall dish an extra crunch. Note that a regular portion can feed 4 to 5 guests, while the large portion is great for 10 pax.

If any of your dining companions are vegetarian or unfortunately allergic to seafood, Mitzo has a meat-free option. Bouncy Konnyaku jelly – which has an uncanny resemblance to the fish slices in terms of texture and appearance -  is used to replace raw fish slices.

The refreshing Prosperity Toss is characterised by a plethora of colourful fresh fruits such as mango, rock melon, and honeydew – just to name a few.

Have your chopsticks ready? Dig in and start exchanging well wishes!

The Superior Fortune Pot (S$338++) aka Pen Cai is an extravagant delicacy worth splurging on. Traditionally, this casserole-like basin is served to the Emperor, hence symbolic of wealth and prosperity. The piping hot bowl – filled with over 10 types of luxurious ingredients such as crispy roast pork belly, sea cucumbers, fish maw, premium abalone and more – is a must-eat during Chinese New Year. Portions are huge, and no less satisfying.

And at Mitzo, the star is definitely the Superior Lobster Fortune Pot (S$398++) – where generous amounts of succulent lobsters cooked in Mao Tai Chinese liquor are added on top of the already-sumptuous spread in the basin.

Mitzo’s Chinese New Year set menus are aplenty, too. The servings cater to a small group of four to a group of ten; prices start from S$118++ per pax to S$1,288++ per table, and every menu features different highlights and special creations, of which the platter of handcrafted steamed and fried nian gao is our favourite!

Nian gao is a classic CNY dish of sticky cake that symbolises good luck and the welcoming of a ‘higher year’.

Still need more recommendations?

We say you cannot skip Mitzo’s two signatures and everyone’s favourites – the Special Barbeque Pork (S$18++) and Black Truffle Crispy Roast Duck (S$38++). These two items are permanently available at Mitzo, even during the Chinese New Year period. We have been raving endlessly about them since one first visit to Mitzo for an obvious reason – they are beyond divine.

Honestly? Best charsiew in Singapore. And as if roast duck isn’t amazing enough, we have black truffle sauce to up the game; roast ducks are never the same again after you’ve had this rendition.

Chinese New Year or not, we go back to Mitzo for these two dishes.

While the consumption of cocktails is not a typical affair during the Lunar New Year, Mitzo has concocted two Asian cocktails made with oriental ingredients that signify prosperity, because they know these will get to your hearts.

The Mandarin Mojito (S$20++) and the Spring Elixir (S$20++) are what you should look out for. The former is a interpretations of the ubiquitous Mojito, where it is prepared with Angostura bitters, apricot liqueur, Havana Club rum and mandarins, while the latter is a red date blend infused with gin, Campari, goji berry syrup, honey dates and red vermouth.

East-meets-West tipples that were interestingly inspired by various symbolic meanings, we can get used to eating yusheng with cocktails.

Here’s a toast to a prosperous new year!

If you are tempted by Mitzo’s various festive offerings but wish to spend the occasion at home, takeaways are available for Pearls of Prosperity Kingfish Yusheng (regular – S$68+, large – S$108+), Superior Fortune Pot (regular – S$338+, large – S$628+), Superior Lobster Fortune Pot (regular – S$398+, large – S$688+) and Homemade Koi Fish Nian Gao (S$28+).
