Prosperity In Full Bloom At Ya Ge For Chinese New Year 2026

Chinese New Year 2026 unfolds with quiet elegance at Ya Ge, where the Year of the Horse is welcomed through a season of refined flavours, thoughtful craftsmanship and time-honoured culinary traditions. Titled Prosperity in Full Bloom, the celebratory offering reflects Ya Ge’s signature approach to modern Chinese dining, one that honours heritage while expressing restraint, balance and generosity. Available for dine-in and takeaway from 1 January to 3 March 2026, the experience is designed for you and your loved ones to gather meaningfully, whether in intimate settings or grand reunions.

An Auspicious Beginning with a Celebratory Toss

The festive table opens with Ya Ge’s Prosperity Yu Sheng with Yellowtail and Crispy Eel, a vibrant interplay of textures and freshness. Silky yellowtail is paired with crisp eel and dried shredded codfish, layered over freshly cut vegetables, pickled ginger, peanuts, seeds and sesame. At the centre lies Chef Sam Chong’s citrus dressing, crafted from freshly squeezed orange and lemon juice and gently reduced to intensify its fragrance. Bright, aromatic and uplifting, the toss sets the tone for abundance and renewal.

Six Thoughtfully Curated Set Menus

To mark the season, Ya Ge presents six meticulously composed Chinese New Year set menus, each suited to different styles of celebration. From the approachable Abundance Set Menu to the luxurious Opulent Set Menu, alongside Success, Reunion, Fortune and vegetarian Longevity menus, each reflects auspicious symbolism, premium produce and refined technique. Available for both per person dining and table formats, the menus cater seamlessly to gatherings of every scale.

The Opulent Set Menu as the Festive Pinnacle

At the height of the celebration sits the Opulent Set Menu, a statement of festive indulgence. Highlights include Double boiled Collagen Soup with Shark’s Fin, Crab Meat and Prawn Dumpling, Steamed Red Garoupa prepared in classic Hong Kong style, and Stir fried Australian Lobster with Glutinous Rice Wine Sauce, where gentle fermentation lends layered warmth. The menu continues with Stewed Yellow Jade Sea Cucumber with Nostoc and Organic Cauliflower, Eight Treasures Vegetables wrapped in lotus leaf, and Braised 5 Head Abalone with Inaniwa Udon in a rich abalone sauce, expressing abundance through quiet confidence.

A Thoughtful Vegetarian Interpretation

For plant-forward celebrations, the Longevity Set Menu offers a refined vegetarian experience rooted in premium ingredients and restraint. Dishes such as Vegetarian Goose Yu Sheng, Double-boiled Matsutake Mushroom Soup with Nostoc and Bamboo Pith, Braised Mocked Abalone with Organic Cauliflower and Sautéed Yunnan Black Tiger Palm Mushroom with macadamia nuts and asparagus demonstrate depth, texture and satisfaction without excess.

Signature Dishes That Define the Season

Among the seasonal highlights, the Double-boiled Golden Fish Maw with Asian Moon Scallop and Imperial Tribute Chrysanthemum stands out as a masterclass in patience. Old hen is slowly simmered into a full-bodied broth before prized fish maw, scallop and wild tribute chrysanthemum are introduced, resulting in a silken, aromatic soup traditionally associated with nourishment and well being.

Equally compelling is the Smoked Grilled Pi Pa Chicken, prepared through an exacting multi step process that culminates in charcoal grilling and final smoking just before service. Lacquered, aromatic and deeply savoury, the dish brings a moment of ceremony to the table. The Steamed Yellow Croaker with Fennel in Chicken Broth and the Deep-fried Deshelled Prawn with Fish Floss and Shrimp Roe further showcase Ya Ge’s precision, from delicate aromatics to textural indulgence.

Festive Takeaway and Gifting

Beyond the dining room, Ya Ge extends the celebration through an extensive takeaway and gifting collection, available with a three-day advance order from 1 January to 3 March 2026. Highlights include Prosperity Yu Sheng in two sizes, Ya Ge Prosperity Pen Cai, roasted boneless suckling pig, dry-aged Irish duck, premium roast platters and handcrafted radish cake.
