One Person? Head to Absurdities Single Mixer
Looking to meet someone new or make some new friends? ANDSOFORTH gives you the most absurd dining experience that connects you with seven other singles in the Absurdities Single Mixer. Traversing through six fantastical worlds, the host randomly pairs the four male and four female diners so you get to know one another. Expect to climb, crawl, and cast some magic as you feast on the six-course omakase-style meal prepared in the style of each world. The menu is paired with drinks and includes a deconstructed pot pie in Mama’s Famous Cereal Chicken Pot Pie and a colour-changing Mortar Purple Squid Risotto.

Three Buns Quayside: New Burgers on the Menu
You’ve heard of the muffin man, but do you know the Sambal Man (S$18++)? A truly east-meets-west “Badass burger” with a seared beef patty smothered in sambal sauce, dressed with smoky cheddar cheese, miso mayo and gochujang ketchup. The new menu includes a meatless option, Fry Me to the Moon (S$19++), made with buttermilk fried plant-based chicken patties between buttered rice flour buns. The vegetarian burger is slathered in their housemade Korean-style barbeque sauce, topped with a slice of Tillamook cheddar and finished with three-island mayonnaise.

A Seven-Course Winter Journey with Marguerite
Michelin-starred Marguerite evokes the best of European winter in their new seven-course menu (S$288++ per person). The exquisite journey starts with a selection of canapés like Duck, Duck, Duck Cherry, where mallard duck is presented in various ways. The Smoked Eel and oyster mousse pearl in rich smoked eel consommé kicks off the mains, while the Jerusalem Artichoke gelato with chocolate sponge and hazelnut cream rounds off the course.

A Tropical Sunday Champagne Brunch in the City
Wind down on the last day of the week and treat yourself to a sumptuous brunch at 15 Stamford By Alvin Leung. Fresh seafood like baby lobsters, tiger prawns, and seasonal oysters await at the Cold Seafood Section, then savour creamy Pan Seared Foie Gras. Alongside the charcuterie and cured fish station are their popular Grill Carving and Rotisserie Spit Roast sections featuring succulent cuts like wagyu beef hanging tender, gammon ham, and more. Tipplers will love the tiki-themed rum cocktails, wines, beers, and champagne selection that comes with this bottomless brunch.

New Menu Mainstays at Your Favourite Hotpot
Love Mala but can’t take its mouth-numbing spiciness? With Haidilao’s all-new Mala Milk Broth (S$11++ quarter pot), you can finally have a large sip of this savoury soup. The added milk gives the broth a creamy texture and balances the spiciness, making it only mildly spicy. Accompany the new broth with Low-fat, Low-cal Konjac Slices (S$4.50 ++ half portion), a healthy and refreshing carb replacement that mimics tripe’s chewy texture. Or dip the aromatic Sichuan Pepperfect Beef Tongue (S$15++ half portion) for just 15 seconds for a kick of spice.
Haidilao’s new menu items are now available at all Haidilao outlets in Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand.
