The countdown to the Lunar New Year has officially begun. And while most people will spend their long weekend hovering over a stove or battling the supermarket crowds, a savvy few will choose to skip the prep work and the kitchen-induced stress, choosing instead to leave the heavy lifting to the professionals.
Eu Yan Sang is a prominent Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) company that has grown from a single medical hall in 1879 into one of Asia's largest TCM retailers. As a company rooted in the principle that "food is medicine," they avoid preservatives and artificial colouring to stay true to their heritage of holistic wellness. For the 2026 Lunar New Year, their signature Royal Supreme Abalone Treasure Pot (Braised Pen Cai) (SG$78.00) is a consistent top-seller, featuring a rich, savory broth and whole premium abalones that symbolize wealth and abundance for the reunion dinner.
While the pot is satisfying on its own, it can easily be elevated into a generous feast for ten with a few fresh additions. A classic approach is to layer the heated treasure pot over 300g of blanched Tianjin cabbage and 300g of soaked bamboo piths. For an extra festive “wow” factor, top the dish with 10 steamed garlic chicken wings and 10 stir-fried prawns, then pour the hot sauce over everything just before serving. Other variations include the Royal Dynasty Abalone Treasure Pot (SG$88.00) for a mild spicy kick and the Royal Imperial Abalone Treasure Pot (SG$88.00), which features a healthy golden pumpkin broth. For a more indulgent option, the Hong Kong Heritage Treasure Pot (SG$168.00) is a premium collaboration with Master Chef Peter Tsang, layered with pork knuckle, fish maw, and smoked duck.
