Solaire Resort Entertainment City’s Red Lantern will host Singapore’s Michelin-starred Chef Zor Tan for an exclusive three-night dining event from 14 to 16 November at 6:30 p.m.

Chef Tan’s Singapore-based restaurant Born, which serves a unique brand of contemporary cuisine, was ranked No. 25 in Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2024. He will personally present an eight-course menu that reflects his Hokkien heritage and diverse culinary influences.

His cuisine is renowned for its bold and unexpected flavors, drawing from Cantonese, Sichuan and Taiwanese traditions. Each dish tells a story of heritage, innovation and emotion.

The upcoming event at Red Lantern offers guests a unique opportunity to experience his culinary “Circle of Life” philosophy firsthand. Where every dish is inspired by chapters of his life from childhood memories, professional challenges and travels around the world.

Red Lantern is celebrated for its Chinese cuisine and elegant ambiance. The restaurant offers a sophisticated setting that complements Chef Tan’s innovative dishes, providing an immersive dining experience for guests.

The exclusive menu features dishes such as Kanpachi with ginger and watermelon radish, a toast raw fish salad, inspired by themes of prosperity and an inspiration to the Yishun (Lunar New Year). The second course, a reinvented bao with Wagyu and oyster, is a signature dish reflecting his mother’s influence and his professional life in Spain. For the third course, the chestnut velouté with black garlic and macadamia, is a personal favorite of Chef Tan and reflects his love for chestnuts.

For the fourth course, Chef Tan replaces the usual monkfish with abalone. This new dish features the abalone with chicken fat and high-quality jade fungus from Yunnan. The fifth course is King Crab with fish maw, a dish exclusively made for Solaire as it features a Filipino dish, Talangka rice. This is followed by a luscious A5 Wagyu cooked with Soubise, a French sauce of white onion puree and Maitake.

To end on a sweet note, Chef Tan prepares two desserts. One is a Bird Nest with grape and elderflower syrup, and the other is his signature dessert of sweet potato puree with crisps on the side, sea salt ice cream, oolong Chantilly and snow salt.
