As Chinese New Year celebrations continue to evolve, tradition finds fresh expression in unexpected places. This festive season, Ben’s introduces its Feast of Fortune Menu, a contemporary take on Lunar New Year dining that blends auspicious symbolism with bold, comfort-driven flavours.
Rather than replicating classic banquet fare, Ben’s approaches the season with creativity and restraint — offering familiar favourites reimagined through a festive lens. Among the highlights are three standout dishes that capture the spirit of prosperity, indulgence and reunion in a refreshingly modern way.
Tossing to Prosperity: Prosperity Yee Sang
Prosperity Yee Sang
A staple of every Lunar New Year celebration, Ben’s Prosperity Yee Sang delivers the ritual of the prosperity toss in a lighter, approachable format. The base features a colourful medley of fresh vegetables and fruits, offering crunch, sweetness and balance.
Diners can personalise their Yee Sang with optional add-ons, including smoked salmon, soft-shell crab, or chicken, elevating the dish from symbolic starter to satisfying shared plate. Fresh, vibrant and celebratory, it offers the joy of tradition without excess — ideal for casual gatherings with family or friends.
Fortune Seared Salmon
For those seeking something elegant yet comforting, the Fortune Seared Salmon delivers on both fronts. The salmon is pan-seared to achieve a delicate crisp on the exterior while remaining tender within, then paired with a creamy chilli garlic sauce that adds warmth without overpowering the fish’s natural richness.
Served alongside fragrant rice, a vibrant green sauce, and sautéed baby pak choy, the dish strikes a pleasing balance between indulgence and freshness. It is a refined festive option that feels celebratory without straying from Ben’s signature comfort-driven style.
Pros-Pepper-Ity Burger
True to Ben’s playful personality, the Pros-Pepper-Ity Burger brings Lunar New Year flavours into familiar territory. Featuring a juicy black pepper chicken patty, the burger is layered with bold seasoning and served with chilli fries and pickled radish, adding heat, crunch and acidity.
It is unapologetically indulgent and designed for diners who prefer their celebrations hearty and satisfying. The dish proves that festive dining does not have to be formal to be meaningful — sometimes, prosperity is best enjoyed between two buns.
A Modern Lunar Celebration
With its Feast of Fortune Menu, Ben’s offers a contemporary alternative for those looking to celebrate Chinese New Year in a relaxed yet festive way. By focusing on flavour, familiarity and symbolic touches, the restaurant successfully bridges tradition and modern dining culture.
Whether it’s tossing Yee Sang, enjoying a refined salmon main, or indulging in a bold burger, Ben’s invites diners to welcome the New Year with warmth, good fortune and a generous appetite.
