Savour Prosperity At Verandah Rooftop Rotisserie CNY Buffet 2026

As the Year of the Horse approaches, Verandah Rooftop Rotisserie at Momentus Hotel Alexandra invites you and your loved ones to begin the new year with abundance, vitality and togetherness. Inspired by the theme 五谷丰收喜迎春, which celebrates bountiful harvests and fresh beginnings, the restaurant presents a grand Chinese New Year (CNY) Buffet designed for meaningful reunions and joyous feasting. Set against sunset skies and lush greenery overlooking the infinity pool, Verandah offers a relaxed rooftop setting where generations can gather, reconnect and welcome the year ahead with vim and vigour.

A Rooftop Reunion Filled with Warmth and Celebration

The experience begins the moment you arrive. Outdoors, the tranquil rooftop atmosphere encourages conversation and unhurried moments together. Step inside and the energy shifts into a lively celebration, where the comforting aroma of signature roasts fills the space and tables are laden with over 30 auspicious dishes. Tableside service and live carving moments add warmth and theatre to the meal, reinforcing the belief that a shared table sets the tone for prosperity and good fortune in the year ahead.

Festive Roasts That Take Centre Stage

This year’s buffet shines a spotlight on robust and celebratory roasts that embody the spirit of the season. A highlight you will not want to miss is the Vanilla Scented Crackling Pork Belly, a festive reinterpretation of a Chinese New Year staple. By infusing vanilla pods into the roast, the culinary team introduces subtle floral notes that lift the rich pork belly. The result is juicy, tender meat crowned with irresistibly crisp crackling that delivers both comfort and surprise with every bite.

Equally compelling is the 14 Day Shio Kombu Butter Aged Angus Ribeye. Aged for two weeks with shio kombu fortified butter, the beef develops deep savoury flavours, with umami notes enhancing its natural richness. On Chinese New Year’s Eve and the first day of the Chinese New Year, you can also indulge in the coveted Sha Pi Suckling Pig, served from a live carving station. Watching the chefs expertly reveal its golden crisp skin and succulent meat adds an extra layer of indulgence to the celebration.

Auspicious Dishes from Land, Sea and Air

Supporting these showstopping roasts is a thoughtfully curated medley of dishes representing land, air and sea, symbolising good fortune arriving from every direction. The feast begins tableside with two auspicious favourites. Golden Lava Cheese Baked Lobster features sweet, succulent rock lobster coated in a rich salted egg sauce that accentuates the shellfish’s natural sweetness. Alongside it, Braised Eight Head Abalone is gently simmered in its flavourful jus, symbolising a year of abundance and prosperity.

Cold appetisers add brightness and intrigue to the spread. You can savour the Duo of Murotsu Oysters from Hyogo prefecture, enjoyed both in their pure natural state and in a traditional Teochew-style cure using a house blend of Asian herbs and aromatics. Classic festive favourites such as Drunken Chicken with Aged Shaoxing and Wolfberries and Cold Pork Trotter Jelly with Pickled Mustard Greens bring layers of sweet, sour and savoury flavours that awaken the palate.

Comforting Classics and Seafood Delights

As you move through the buffet, you will encounter dishes that balance indulgence with comfort. Black Truffle Phoenix Chicken delivers crisp fried chicken infused with squid paste and aromatic truffle. Seafood lovers can enjoy Poached Prawns paired with a sharp ginger scallion dip, delicate Steamed Scallops, and the Duo of Sea Asparagus and Pacific Clams, a festive braise featuring dried oysters, flower shiitake mushrooms and black moss, ingredients long associated with wealth and success.

Underscoring the menu are hearty staples that evoke memories of home. Longevity Noodles with Crab Roe and Trout Caviar symbolise long life and continuity, while Fragrant Cured Meat Lap Mei Fan, cooked with wax sausages, pork belly and duck leg, offers a deeply satisfying nod to traditional festive comfort.

No Chinese New Year feast is complete without desserts that symbolise joy and sweetness in the year ahead. At Verandah, you can indulge in Silky Yam Puree with Caramelised Pumpkin, classic Steamed Nian Gao rolled in desiccated coconut, and a festive new creation, Persimmon Creme Brulee, topped with sweet dried persimmon for an auspicious finish.

Lunchtime Gatherings and Takeaway Festivities

If you are hosting business associates or planning a weekday gathering, Verandah also offers four Chinese New Year inspired mains as part of its popular semi-buffet set lunch. Options include slow-braised Dong Po Wagyu Beef Karubi, aromatic pan-roasted truffle-stuffed chicken, braised Eight Treasure duck leg and Superior Seafood Poached Rice. Each main is paired with unlimited servings from a complementary buffet of salads, soups, appetisers and desserts.
