Now, have we got your attention yet?

STEAMED COD IN SUPERIOR SOY SAUCE

Fish is often associated with wealth and abundance, which is why it is not uncommon to see fish dishes in Chinese New Year reunion meals.

Cooked and served whole, the colossal fillet of Cod is definitely one dish you should look forward to at the dinner buffet. Perfectly steamed, the fish remains delicately moist. Topped with a savoury-sweet soy sauce and garnished with a mixture of mushrooms, wolfberries and chai po (preserved turnips), we simply loved how the silky meat practically melted in our mouths.

BRAISED PORK BELLY

One of our favourites on this year’s menu is the Braised Pork Belly. Braised over a low flame for a considerable amount of time in a thick and dark soy-based sauce, the pork belly achieves pull-apart tenderness.

Boasting a plentitude of flavours from savoury, sweet and subtly spiced, this is a sure-fire winner that we guarantee you will enjoy. The meat literally melts in your mouth while the gelatine-like layer of fat adds another dimension of texture and flavour. Eaten with their charcoal bun, there really is nothing that can beat this.

EIGHT TREASURE LOTUS LEAF BROWN RICE

If you are a fan of bold flavours, we highly recommend trying the Eight Treasure Lotus Leaf Brown Rice: a traditional Chinese New Year dish.

Steamed in a massive lotus leaf, the brown rice was infused with the lotus flavour that made it incredibly fragrant. The assortment of Chinese sausages and waxed duck provided more depth and savoury taste to the dish.

DRIED OYSTER WITH FATT CHOY

For those unfamiliar with Chinese delicacies, one of the few oriental classics that is eaten almost exclusively during Chinese New Year—and one that you can look forward to on the buffet line—is fatt choy, which for the uninitiated, is basically a braised vegetable dish that typically comprises black moss (fatt choy) and dried oysters (ho see).

The name ‘Ho See Fatt Choy’ itself means to prosper in wealth in Cantonese, which is why this dish is commonly served as a symbol of good fortune at many restaurants and households.

Braised in soy and oyster sauce, the ingredients were exceptionally soft and tender.

CRABMEAT SOUP

Conceptually similar to shark fin soup, this Crabmeat Soup and Superior Fish Maw is a hearty soup to look out for in the buffet line-up.

Cooked with pumpkins and carrots—which explains the soup’s yellowish hue—this tasty soup boasts savoury and subtly sweet qualities. Expect to find premium ingredients such as crab meat, fish lips and for good measure, scallops as well.

NIAN GAO

The Sticky Rice Cake—otherwise known as nian gao in Mandarin—is an oriental sweet treat that Chinese people eat every Chinese New Year. This glutinous rice-based cake is commonly deep-fried with an egg wash (much like French toast) and the end result is an incredibly chewy cake encased in a golden crisp.

At 10 at Claymore, the chefs turn it up a notch by sandwiching the Nian Gao between a layer of regular sweet potato and purple sweet potato, to which the layered dish is battered and fried to golden perfection. Pleasantly crisp and mildly sweet, this makes for a pretty spot-on dessert item.

PROSPERITY PACIFIC YUSHENG

Keeping with the tradition of ushering in the Lunar New Year with a prosperity toss, 10 at Claymore’s Prosperity Pacific Lo Hei makes for a perfect entrée with its bed of fresh julienned carrots, radish, lettuce, cucumber and pomelo. A sweet plum sauce is drizzled over the “Chinese salad” and chunks of crispy fish skin topped the dish for a medley of flavours and textures.

Every table is entitled to a complimentary serving of the Prosperity Pacific Lo Hei for both lunch and dinner with servings tailored to your party of family and friends.

BOSTON LOBSTER ON ICE

Regulars to 10 at Claymore will always look out for the Boston Lobster on Ice. Now, who can resist unlimited fresh Boston lobsters?

CANTONESE ROAST DELIGHTS & MORE

Besides Chinese New Year dishes, there is also a mouth-watering selection of Asian and Western delights to be had at the dinner buffet line-up. We are talking about authentic Chinese roast meats, fresh seafood on ice, the highly acclaimed Baked Oysters in Chillies and even our all-time-guilty-pleasure, prosciutto.

These items are on rotation and are subjected to the change and availability of seasonal produce but the quality remains consistent throughout.

À LA CARTE SET LUNCHES

Diners will get to enjoy weekday à la carte set lunches (S$28++ per adult) that comprise the Steamed Lotus ‘Lap Mei’ Brown Rice, Double Boiled Golden Fishmaw Crabmeat Broth as well as one main dish of which you have the option to choose out of a selection of 3.

Take your pick from the Traditional Steamed Cod Fish with Chicken Shredded Black Fungus, Braised Pork Belly ‘Dong Po Rou’ with Bun or Oven Roasted Chicken with Fragrant Garlic Almonds. But before your meal commences, you will first have the customary lo hei or prosperity toss that comes complimentary for each table regardless of the number of guests.

Don’t forget to quote ‘LIC-CNY’ to enjoy this all-you-can-eat indulgent feast at S$42++ for two for the à la carte set lunch and S$108++ for two for the dinner buffet. This exclusive promotion is valid from 22 January to 28 February 2018 from Monday to Sunday, and especially just for our loyal supporters, we will also be giving you 25% savings on all other à la carte dishes for lunch on weekdays.

10 at Claymore at Pan Pacific Orchard, Singapore has successfully established itself as the go-to place for a value-for-money buffet. It is especially well-known for their freshly shucked oysters and Penang local delights. Dishes are on a rotational basis, whereby the gourmet highlights would largely depend on the period’s festivity.

We hope you guys thoroughly enjoyed last year’s yuletide feast at 10 at Claymore! This year, the award-winning hotel establishment is launching a curated Spring Time Oyster Rhapsody Buffet, where you can sink your teeth into unlimited Lunar New Year delicacies such as Eight Treasure Lotus Leaf Rice, Superior Fish Maw Soup and Yu Sheng at very affordable prices.

Apart from that, the buffet lineup also features many of its popular Penang classics such as Char Koay Teow and Bak Kut Teh, as well as free-flow oysters from five different countries.

Quote ‘ladyironchef’ to enjoy an all-you-can-eat indulgent feast at S$58++* for two during lunch (U.P. S$42++/pax) and S$98++ for two during dinner (U.P. S$68++/pax). This exclusive promotion** is valid from 10 Jan 2017 to 28 Feb 2017 (blackout dates apply).

While most places are closed during Lunar New Year, locals and holidaymakers would be pleased to hear that 10 at Claymore will be operating as per normal—and with a bigger and better menu. This Chinese New Year, be pampered with a Chinese New Year buffet which includes fresh seafood, a divine dessert spread and an array of international dishes.

A traditional lion dance performance will be held at Pan Pacific Orchard, Singapore’s hotel lobby on 03 Feb 2017 at 9am. Tourists and locals on a staycation should definitely wake up early to check out this auspicious dance performance.

Now, let’s get back to the main topic: Food.

No Chinese New Year is complete without Yu Sheng. We understand that the preparation for a family meal could be arduous, so why not take a backseat this year and allow the restaurant’s A team to handle this stressful responsibility?

All you have do is to pick up the gigantic chopsticks and toss to prosperity!

Penang native Executive Chef Andy Oh and his talented crew have gone through the lengths to ensure you feel at home!

Lo Hei aside, you can too anticipate other signature symbolic dishes such as Fatt Choy with Sea Cucumber and Eight Treasure Lotus Leaf Rice that your in-laws will approve.

For those unfamiliar with Chinese delicacies, this is the perfect opportunity to sample a variety of oriental classics. The Fatt Choy—which by the way, sounds like ‘getting rich’ in Cantonese—is a dish which symbolises wealth.

The pen cai is basically a casserole filled with this Fatt Choy we were talking about, braised dried oysters, leafy greens, sea cucumber and prawns. When you talk about luxurious lunar dish, people would think of pen cai, and this will be part of the buffet line-up where you can help yourselves to unlimited portions!

The Sticky Rice Cake—otherwise known as Nian Gao in Mandarin—is an oriental sweet treat that the Chinese would eat every Chinese New Year.

The glutinous rice-based cake is deep-fried with an egg wash and the end result is an incredibly chewy cake encased in a golden brown crisp. The consumption of the Nian Gao is associated with achieving greater heights.

By now, you would have noticed that each Chinese New Year dish has a meaning behind it. Fish is an important ingredient in every Lunar New Year meal as it indicates abundance. From Norwegian fresh salmon sashimi, Hong Kong-style Steamed Grouper to Superior Fish Maw Soup, you will have your fair share of fish dishes here at the buffet. The more, the merrier!

To get the most bang for your buck, head to the Seafood Harvest and Japanese Display Counter and pile your plates with endless Indonesian Mud Crab, Pacific Short Neck Clam, Vietnamese Tiger Prawn, New Zealand Green Lip Mussel, Salmon Sashimi, Maguro, Oysters and more!

Besides Chinese New Year dishes, there is also a mouthwatering selection of Asian and Western delights.

We are talking about authentic Penang hawker fare, Chinese roast meats and Western roasts. The items are on rotation and are subjected to the change and availability of seasonal produce but the quality remains consistent throughout.

Admittedly, the free-flow freshly shucked opulent oysters from five different countries will always be the biggest draw at 10 at Claymore. The decadent variety will make you lose your mind, i.e. Canadian Family Bay Oysters, French Oysters, Irish Premium Oysters, New Zealand Pacific Oysters and the United States Washington Bay Oysters.

This alone is reason enough for us to return to the buffet at Pan Pacific Orchard, Singapore over and over again.

P.S. The oysters are only available during dinner buffet.

10 at Claymore’s massive dessert spread will have your little ones grinning from ear to ear. Just look at the chocolate fountain and the sheer number of cakes!

There is also a Crêpe live station where you can request for a cooked-to-order French crêpes. The choice of fillings includes Nutella, peanut, blueberry, strawberry, peach, fresh cream and even durian.

Now, don’t you agree that this is buffet spread with an irresistible promotion?
