The Year of the Fire Horse in the Chinese zodiac symbolises energy, passion, confidence and forward momentum.

As we welcome 2026, Yauatcha’s Chinese New Year menu captures this sense of movement and optimism, blending tradition with contemporary expression.
A Feast for the Senses
Start your journey with dim sum delights such as the Steamed leek and corn rolls in sweet black pepper sauce, a delicate combination of tender leeks, cream cheese, and sweet corn finished with warm spice. The Steamed shrimp carrot dumplings, filled with succulent shrimp, sweet carrots, and lotus root, offer an elegant bite, while the Crispy golden chicken rolls and bright Kumquat butterfly prawns bring festive indulgence to the table.
For mains, the celebration continues with bold, comforting flavours. From the earthy Stir-fried lotus root with broccoli and black pepper to the striking Beetroot fried rice with mock meat, each dish is crafted to honour the spirit of the season. Seafood lovers can savour the Steamed Indian rawas in black bean sauce with pak choy, while the Twice-cooked pork belly with tofu in Toban chilli adds warmth and richness.
Round off your meal with sweet finishes inspired by prosperity and joyful beginnings. The show-stopping Lucky Horse layers orange sponge, ginger, silky mandarin crémeux, compote, and sorbet, capturing the season’s festive charm. For a refined bite, the Spicy mandarin macarons pair bold chocolate ganache with gentle heat and bright citrus.
Raise a Toast to New Beginnings
Complementing the menu are specially crafted Chinese New Year cocktails designed to reflect strength, balance, and celebration. The Daredevil, with truffle-washed whisky and bold earthy notes, channels the fearless energy of the Fire Horse, while The Red Stallion, inspired by luck and joy, brings red fruits and floral elegance into a vibrant toast.
For those seeking lighter options, zero-ABV creations such as Flavour of Tibet, a refreshing blend of cucumber and luminous yuzu, and the Red Berry Collins, crafted with fresh berries and elderflower, ensure everyone can partake in the festive cheer.
