With a new year, it brings new hope, and what better way to usher in prosperity than to kick off the Ox-picious year with great savings with Citi Cards. Their Chinese New Year dining promotions will not just bring a smile to your family’s faces (when they see the impressive feast before them), but it’ll also bring cheer to your wallet as you can save up to 25% off these exclusive CNY meals!
We’ve rounded up 6 irresistible offers that you can enjoy now with Citi Cards—ideal for a joyous reunion gathering.
1. Crystal Jade
This year’s Chinese New Year looks to be one to remember, as we reunite with family members in the midst of social restrictions. To make this celebration extra special, Citi Cardmembers are entitled to 5% off CNY dine-in set menus and 10% off CNY festive takeaway goodies if reservations or orders are made between 19 January and 28 February 2021.
Toss to good fortune in the year ahead with their 金牛贺春团圆鲍鱼捞起 Reunion Yusheng with Abalone, available for both dine-in and takeaway from Crystal Jade Hong Kong Kitchen, Jiang Nan and LMXLB (S$58 small for five pax, S$88 large for eight pax), and complete the opulence of your reunion meal with 黄金万两 (南瓜蟹肉虾球汤) Braised Pumpkin Thick Soup With Steamed Egg White, Prawn and Crab Meat (Egg White) that’s both luxurious and comforting in equal measure—with a layer of smooth steamed egg white covered with a hearty thick soup rendered from a robust chicken stock and blended pumpkin. Available only at Crystal Jade Dining IN at VivoCity.
If you’re looking to truly elevate your CNY meal, may we suggest the 脆米酱皇烤爱尔兰鸭 Roasted Irish Duck With Crispy Rice in Chef’s Special Sauce (Available at Crystal Jade Golden Palace & Dining IN)? It’s an irresistible poultry dish that’ll get you hooked on its crackling goodness. Should you prefer an intimate stay-home meal instead, you can’t miss out on 荷叶香芋瑶柱腊味糯米飯 Fried Conpoy & Taro Glutinous Rice Wrapped in Lotus Leaf as it’s Crystal Jade’s latest addition to this year’s CNY festive takeaway goodies. It promises a rich and savoury presentation of tender chicken pieces, conpoy, as well as fluffy cubes of taro.
For the best start to the Year of the Ox, dine with Crystal Jade and make the most of your precious reunion time over one of the most indulgent meals.

3. Goodwood Park Hotel
Nestled at a corner of Orchard Road, far from the hustle and bustle of the area’s mainstay is Goodwood Park Hotel, a stalwart hotelier that has been around for as long as I can remember. This Lunar New Year, Goodwood Park Hotel serves up unique and innovative takeaway offerings for Citi cardmembers, reminiscent of their Christmas spread in 2020, with dishes from both Min Jiang and The Deli.
To start, Min Jiang’s takeaway Five Fortune Appetiser Takeaway Platter boasts abundance. It is a delightful opening course made up of five appetisers—Chilled Mini Abalone With Sweet Chilli Sauce, Crispy Prawns With Salted Egg Yolk, Spicy Popcorn Chicken in Sichuan Style, BBQ Sweet Glazed Unagi, and Marinated Jellyfish Flower.
With appetisers done and dusted, train your attention towards the Slow-braised Spicy Oxtail with Pickled Mustard and Enoki Mushrooms in Claypot, which, as its name suggests, pays homage to the year of the Ox and features a tender, slow-braised oxtail and aromatics infused with familiar flavours of Sichuan.
Another praiseworthy claypot offering is the Braised Spring Chicken with Pork Belly and Sea Treasures—a luxurious and decadent showcase of 10-head Australian abalones, dried Brazilian mushrooms, dried oysters, dried scallops, sea cucumber and deep-fried taro. And then, there’s that whole spring chicken, lovingly marinated and then deep-fried, served alongside a pork belly, similarly deep-fried and then braised. It’s the kind of dish your family will be talking about until the next CNY for sure.
The Deli’s offerings, though different in style, employs the same level of innovation in its presentation and thought. There’s a Maple Butter and Almond Garlic Lotus Root Chips which sees deep-fried lotus root chips coated in a golden maple butter syrup and then tossed with minced garlic and almond flakes. A perfect pre-reunion dinner snack if you ask us.
Their Bountiful Box of Sweet Blessings is indeed bountiful and sweet and filled to the brim with 15 petit treats to celebrate the 15 days of Lunar New Year. Inside, diners can delight in sweet treats such as Chocolate Almond Tarts, Pineapple Crumble Tarts, Baked Cheesecakes, Orange Chiboust Cakes, and Coffee Vanilla Sponge Cakes. It’s every sweet tooth’s dream come true.
The Deli’s Lucky Fortune Oranges deserve notable mention for being an artisanal creation in itself. These oranges are in fact, kumquat butter cakes with a luscious vanilla buttercream layer, wrapped in a smooth fondant to look like mandarins while the box they sit in is a slab of marble cake covered in a red decorative fondant. A fitting and surprising treat in replacement of the traditional mandarin oranges.
Citi Cardmembers can enjoy up to 20% off Goodwood Park Hotel Lunar New Year takeaway. This promotion runs from 24 January to 26 February 2021.

4. Pan Pacific Singapore
Pan Pacific Singapore ushers in the year of the Ox with a curated selection of Chinese New Year goodies that Citi cardmembers can enjoy from the safety and comfort of home. Their take-home selections run the gamut from decadent hampers that will surely impress the in-laws to classic favourites for a dash of nostalgia like no other.
To start, a mandatory element at every Reunion dinner—the yu sheng. This year, Pan Pacific Singapore serves up a selection of yu sheng platters that aims to please. Customers can choose from selections such as the Nutritious Vegetarian Yu Sheng (S$58; Small, S$88; Large) with vegetarian abalone, crispy enoki mushrooms, and vegetable salad for a meat-less toss or the Blossoming Treasures Yu Sheng (S$180; Small, S$308; Large), an ultra-indulgent platter that comes served with gold and silver flakes, lobster meat, scallops, black caviar and shredded vegetable salad in passionfruit sauce.
To further up your stay-home reunion dinner game, you can’t go wrong with Pan Pacific Singapore’s Barbecued Crispy Whole Suckling Pig (S$428 for eight to 10 diners) that comes stuffed with glutinous rice, wild mushrooms, and truffle. It’s a culinary endeavour that requires three days advance order to purchase so do remember to factor that into your reunion dinner planning.
For Citi Cardmembers who prefer something with a little less planning, the Classic Treasure Pot 海天楼花开富贵凤吞燕煲 (S$288; serves up to six, S$468; serves up to 10) makes for a satisfying communal treat. Inside, there’s an eight head whole abalone, bird’s nest, sakura chicken, dried scallops, wanton, and broccoli.

There’s the Prosperity Brown Sugar Peanut Cake (S$72 for up to eight diners), a 1kg Pandan Kueh Lapis (S$66), and everybody’s favourite festive snack, Love Letters (S$36 for 100 pieces).

Bask in Summer Palace at Regent Singapore, where your family can dig into a mouth-watering spread that includes decadent Stir-fried Lobster With Sliced Almond and Crispy Rice, Braised Superior Bird’s Nest and Fish Maw in Superior Chicken Soup, and Steamed Cod Fish with Fungus and Red Date. The bird’s nest soup soothes and nourishes the soul, while the lobster is a treat that will make the auspicious occasion even more delightful.
