After a SGD1million makeover to celebrate Marina Mandarin Singapore's 25th anniversary, Peach Blossoms has reopened with a new menu and a newly appointed Chef from Hong Kong. Chef Chan Shun Wong will stay true to the authentic Cantonese food that the restaurant is best known for, but intends to take the menu to greater heights by adding a modern twist to some of his creations.
One such dish is the Double-Boiled Almond Soup with Fish Maw that uses ground fresh almond (instead of almond essence), which gives the Cantonese favourite more body and flavour. The lunchtime Dim Sum menu is equally interesting, adding a touch of luxury to the classics. Instead of the usual pork fillings, Pan-Fried Pastry in Black Pepper Sauce is filled with Ostrich Meat, and the Pan-Fried Bun is stuffed with Minced Pork and Foie Gras.
Enjoy a unique sumptuous six-course Chinese dinner paired with the wines from Markowitsch that will be presented by its winemaker, Gerhard Markowitsch. Chef Chan Shun Wong has come up with dishes like Steamed Fillet of Grouper with Chinese Wine & Egg White, Barbecued Peking Duck, and Stir-fried Wagyu Beef Cubes with Black Pepper and Longans.

Rasputin is a full dinning place, offering authentic Russian food with a mix of other food from the ex-USSR period. You can probably find a good mix of Russian, Moldovan, Georgian and Ukrainian cuisine here. The Chef originates from Moldova and brings with him 10 years of Russian cuisine experience. On the menu, you can expect some new dishes such as Rabbit meat and Sturgeon fish. Many spices used are new to local taste buds, though the Chef has been advised to tone down on those so as to make it generally more acceptable to local palettes. An interesting off the cuff note, the Chef’s hobby includes Bungee jumping. He is thrilled to be in Singapore to share his culinary experience with the Singapore market.
