History buffs and food lovers, this one’s massive: Man Fu Yuan is bringing the legendary Manchu-Han Imperial Feast to Singapore for the very first time. First created in the Qing dynasty and reserved for emperors, the banquet traditionally spanned over 100 elaborate dishes across several days. This November, Executive Chinese Chef Aaron Tan, the first Singaporean formally trained in this imperial tradition, teams up with his mentor, Master Chef Qi Jinzhu (a direct disciple of the last Qing court chef) to present a two-night-only showcase.
Taking place on 8 and 9 November 2025, the “Auspicious Clouds” edition will serve over 20 meticulously crafted dishes that marry the robust flavours of Manchu fare with the refined nuances of Han cuisine.
Expect storytelling through food at its most opulent: the double-boiled bird’s nest broth The Phoenix Returns to the Nest; the painstakingly braised Kun Lun Abalone with dried grouper skin; an ingenious reimagining of the once-forbidden bear paw using pork skin and beef tendon; and a centrepiece roasted whole lamb slow-marinated in Mongolian aromatics. The evening unfolds with tea ceremonies, live orchestral music, calligraphy, and traditional dance to complete the imperial court atmosphere.
Priced at S$588++ per person, this is as close as you’ll get to dining like Qing royalty, and it’s only happening for two nights. Reservations are essential.

Prepare to be transported. The iconic Art Deco bar ATLAS has launched its 2025 menu, Gazette du Bon Ton, and it’s a heady cocktail of glamour, style, and old-school sophistication. Inspired by a chic 1920s French fashion mag that predates Vogue, the new lineup reads like a luxury lifestyle zine: think elegant chapters, dramatic illustrations, and drinks that tell a story. Ease into the night with no-ABV beauties like Miss Rouge (hello, basil tea and verjus), or go straight into clarified milk punches like The Streamliner, and bold showstoppers like Midnight in Ruins: a smoky, moody number laced with rye, port, and grappa. There’s even a cheeky Cole Porter-inspired mix called Let’s Misbehave, complete with torched cocktail onion.
Naturally, the house-distilled ATLAS London Dry Gin anchors it all, shining in signatures like the ATLAS Martini. With each cocktail crafted to echo the rhythm, rebellion, and razzle-dazzle of the Jazz Age, you definitely want to give ATLAS a revisit, if you haven't already!
