Lunching at Peach Blossoms at the Marina Mandarin is always a welcome treat and especially at this time of year when the restaurant is offering an all-you-can eat feast of various soups, dim sum, porridge and desserts. Expect the usual har gao and siew mai but unleash your adventurous palate with indulgences such as the steamed xiao long bao with foie gras. The broth within is a nourishing savoury blend that when consumed with the thin skin makes for a superb nibble. Other delicacies include deep-fried yam dumpling filled with chicken and mushroom in curry paste and Shanghai noodles with shredded chicken in chicken soup.

If you are hoping to catch up with friends over the festive period, try out the restaurant’s festive offerings from their ala carte menu. Incorporating Chinese master chef Aw Yeong Kin’s expertise in the use of fruits, it offers the contemporary Cantonese dishes a fresh perspective. Signatures include the delightfully light baked sea perch with champagne sauce, the wholesome double-boiled shark’s cartilage soup with fish maw, bamboo pith and conpoy and fried rice with scallops, crabmeat, fish roe and diced mushrooms.
