The most luxurious menu leans into ceremonial abundance, featuring double-boiled superior shark’s fin soup with chicken, braised five-head South African dried greenlip abalone in oyster sauce and Australian lobster baked with dried fish, before finishing with fish maw egg noodles and double-boiled hashima (snow jelly) with lotus seed. The mid-range and modest menus echo this sense of occasion with variations on shark’s fin, Teochew-style marinated platters, steamed Soon Hock, sautéed scallops and braised fresh abalone with sea cucumber, concluding with glutinous rice, nian gao and traditional sweet soups that bring the celebration to a comforting close.

Whole Earth
Bib Gourmand
MICHELIN Guide Singapore 2025
MICHELIN Bib Gourmand recipient Whole Earth’s raison d'être is the expression of plant-based cooking through the lens of punchy Peranakan and Thai flavors, and that mission remains especially true during the Lunar New Year. The Pearl Symphony (S$33++), for instance, places organically homegrown pearl oyster mushrooms at center stage with a meticulous steaming process, before elevating it with a supporting cast of fresh mixed herbs.
Also not to be missed: handmade Blessings Pockets (S$36++) cradling shiitake mushrooms, crunchy water chestnuts and a sprinkling of coriander in a mildly sweet loofah gravy, as well as the Harmony of Nature (S$28++), which features chewy makhana (fox nuts, prized for their superb mix of antioxidants, protein and fiber) against a backdrop of lotus roots, sweet peas and a house-made vegetarian-friendly XO sauce.
Whole Earth’s Chinese New Year offerings are available until 3 March 2026. For reservations, call +65 6221 6583 or head here. Whole Earth is at 76 Peck Seah Street, 079331, Singapore.

There’s no better place for a Chinese New Year celebration brimming with conviviality and hearty food than local tze char institution Keng Eng Kee (Bukit Merah).

Those who manage to make a reservation, however, will be duly treated to a bevy of limited-time specials including the Golden Aroma Smoked Duck Ee Fu Noodles, Premium Collagen Fish Maw Sea Cucumber Soup, KEK Braised Pork Knuckle and Auspicious Phoenix 10-Head Abalone (stir-fried with garlic sprouts).
For every other day of Chinese New Year — except for 17 and 18 February, when the restaurant is closed — diners can get these dishes à la carte, along with other festive turns like the restaurant’s luxurious Fortune Pot (S$368, crammed with goodies like 10-head abalone, scallops, fish maw, pork stomach, sea cucumber and dried scallop), Steamed Garoupa with Premium Light Soy Sauce (S$98.80) and Golden Prosperity Roast Chicken (S$48). These dishes can be enjoyed on top of the restaurant’s usual signatures, so make sure to get their crowd favorite coffee-glazed pork ribs and claypot liver while you’re there. (©Keng Eng Kee)
