Step Into History With Man Fu Yuan Manchu-Han Imperial Feast

This festive season, Man Fu Yuan at InterContinental Singapore invites you to immerse yourself in one of the most opulent dining experiences in Chinese culinary history: the return of the Manchu-Han Imperial Feast. A regal 24-course journey inspired by Emperor Kangxi’s legendary 66th birthday celebration, the feast offers a rare glimpse into palace cuisine once reserved for royalty and nobility.

A Palace-Style Experience with Historical Reverence

From 1 November to 30 December 2025, guests can book this once-in-a-lifetime experience for S$2,888++ per table of 10. Limited to just ten tables throughout the season, the dinner is hosted within the elegant Man Fu Yuan dining room, known for its refined interiors and award-winning Cantonese fare. Expect an evening of immersive storytelling where an elegant cultural programme of Chinese music, traditional dance, and live calligraphy matches imperial cuisine.
