To mark the nation’s 57th birthday, Yàn pays homage to Singapore’s culinary heritage with a National Day Dim Sum Menu (from $6++). Available for lunch only from 6 to 31 August 2022, indulge in a special selection of delicate creations showcasing a sumptuous spread of classic Cantonese delights incorporated with local flavours.
The distinctive aroma of wok hei can be enjoyed in the Wok Fried Nyonya-Style Carrot Cake ($14++) – cubes of carrot cake, carrots, preserved sausages, and shrimps are wok-fried with Yàn’s savoury house-made Peranakan-style chilli sauce made with spices such as candlenuts, galangal, and lemongrass. Another dish that celebrates the Peranakan culture is the enticing Steamed Assam Cod Fish and Prawn Dumpling ($9++ for 3 pieces).
Braised Pork Belly in Steamed Bun ($6++ for 2 pieces) highlights fork tender braised pork belly that is simmered in an aromatic braising liquid of Japanese soy sauce, cardamom, garlic, and onions for 16 hours. A popular mainstay at Yàn, the Steamed Hainanese Chicken with Sticky Rice wrapped in Lotus Leaf ($6++ for 2 pieces) presents a Cantonese interpretation of the beloved Hainanese chicken rice.
Commemorate the festivities with a repertoire of local-inspired dim sum at Yàn, exclusively available from 6 to 31 August 2022 during lunch hours only.
