In case anyone forgets what zodiac year it is, Peony Jade Restaurant's Tiger Yee Sang will serve as a good reminder.
Priced at S$388 for 12 pax, the platter consists of Asian lobster carpaccio, Australian whole 8-abalone, hamachi (yellowtail), salmon, and more.
Peony Jade currently has a pop-up booth at Takashimaya's CNY fair, in addition to their restaurant at Keppel Club.
There's also an online ordering system, and while we do see a number of CNY items, the Tiger Yee Sang does not appear to be available at time of writing.
The site also warns of the inevitable delivery delays due to the demand on the eve, so take heed, probably.
In any case, cool presentation, no harm looking at photos of it ¯ \_(ツ)_/¯
Update on Jan 11: A spokesperson for Peony Jade has confirmed that the dish is available for ordering. One can do so by calling their restaurant managers at 6276 9138.
