Hard Rock Cafe Ushers In The Year Of The Rat With A Variety Of Lunar New Year Specialty Dishes And Cocktails.
What's the first thing you think of when you see Hard Rock Cafe?
For me, it’s a classic American rock ‘n’ roll hamburger joint that has stood the test of time.
But it’s way more than just that. With 259 venues in 75 countries, Hard Rock Cafe is one of the most globally recognised companies that has amassed a staggering collection of over 83,000 pieces of music memorabilia.
This year Hard Rock Cafe Singapore is celebrating its 30th anniversary which is an incredible feat of staying power in the restaurant landscape here.
But I digress: to celebrate this new year of the Rat, Hard Rock Cafe has launched its Lunar New Year menu – called the Golden Prosperous Menu - with four specialty dishes and three cocktails that focus on Chinese cuisine and it’s available until 9 February 2020.
The dishes include a “Prosperity Yu Sheng Salad” of smoked Norwegian salmon, baby spinach with beetroot, carrot and radish "noodles" topped with dragonfruit and rockmelon, perfect for "Lo Hei" tossing with family and friends.
There is also "Braised Duck Leg with Shitake Mushroom & Chestnut" served with bok choy and fragrant steamed rice. You won't want to share this succulent duck: it is selfishly delicious!
But you will need to share the fabulous “Honey Smoked Baby Back Ribs”. A whopping 1.2kg of tender smoked ribs, glazed with honey marinade, served with crispy fried shallots and sweet potato fries.
And finally, if you can fit any more in, there is the traditional Chinese dessert of “Orh Nee with Pumpkin Paste and Ginkgo Nuts".
The cocktails that complement the menu have been designed using well known Chinese ingredients including ginger, mandarin, orange and hibiscus: all of which are synonymous with strength, nourishment and good luck.
The “Ginger Moon” is Jack Daniels bourbon with home-made ginger cinnamon syrup and ginger ale; the “Mandarin Mule” is Absolut mandarin vodka, Grand Marnier, orange juice and Fever Tree ginger beer; and the “Prosperi-tea” is a mix of Gordon's gin, Smirnoff vodka, Bacardi rum, fresh lemon juice and soda with homemade hibiscus syrup.
So now that most of the family visits and home parties are over, it's time to treat yourself at a venue that exudes longevity, prosperity and good health - the Hard Rock Café in Cuscaden Street or on Sentosa.

Nothing gets the festivities of Chinese New Year started with tossing a good Salmon Lo Hei Salad, a bite of either a Panfried Atlantic salmon or sweet and sour baked Salmon.

It’s been a while since I’ve hit the HRC so I was pleasantly surprised when asked to review the Chinese New Year menu.
I started off with 3 cocktails – Mandarin Mule, Jade and a non-alcoholic Hibiscus Prosperitea. Not being a cocktail fan (as I reject sugar vehemently), I totally devoured the huge mug of Mandarin Mule.
The ginger beer base plus zesty orange tones lent a refreshing clash to the sweet of Grand Marnier. It was so refreshing akin to a G&T, that I sat on it all evening. This is definitely one for people who usually shy away from cocktails. Give it a go. I promise you it is really yummy!
Moving on to the Salmon “Yu Sheng” salad. Presented as a salad for one to two people, I was relieved at the portion size. I love this dish but usually have to make the numbers before I can lay hands on it! Tossed with green salad leaves which is an unusual twist, it was served with chunky pieces of fresh succulent salmon.
The Pan-Fried Atlantic Salmon with fragrant golden pumpkin mash was divine. It had a tangerine sauce which lifted the taste of this entire dish. Great that HRC have created a dish for the non-Asian palette, as an alternative during this Chinese New Year Season.
My last tasting dish of the evening was the Sweet & Sour Baked Salmon. This was my absolute favourite! Topped with a homemade Thai sweet chilli glaze, spring onions, coriander, chopped peanut and fresh lime, I am sure you are salivating just reading this.
Served on a bed of rice this dish appealed to my every sense. The flavours were subtle rather than bold and the fusion of tastes combined had me recommending that it should be added to the permanent menu. It almost seemed like a run up of dishes through the evening strategically ordered, with a crescendo at the end to top it off.
I am usually at HRC on a Friday night for the live music and Tex-Mex bites. Now I’ll be rocking up for the great food too!!!
