Chinese New Year menus are usually sold with fireworks themes: prosperity, abundance, gold, luck, and other things people hope will follow them into the new year.
But Kryston Catering’s message for 2026 is surprisingly practical: the luxury is time.
For the Year of the Golden Horse, Kryston has introduced a complete Chinese New Year catering collection designed for modern Singaporeans who still want tradition, just without spending the reunion evening stuck in the kitchen. The menus run from January 16 to March 8, 2026, covering the whole season of family gatherings, visiting marathons, and corporate “we need to celebrate” lunches.
The aim is simple: keep the food festive, keep the hosting easier, and leave the table free for what people actually come for—stories, gossip, laughter, and that one aunt who always asks deeply personal questions.
Reunion Feasts (5 to 10 guests): Abundance With Less Stress
For intimate family gatherings, Kryston offers Reunion Feast packages for 5 to 10 guests, centered on classic Lunar New Year dishes that complete the table.
The standout item here is the Deluxe Auspicious Treasure Pot, designed as an edible symbol of abundance. The pot includes premium ingredients such as:
- 10-head abalone
- braised sea cucumber
- dried scallop
- and other luxury components tied to the usual New Year symbolism of wealth and good fortune
Alongside it, the spread includes crowd-pleasers that nobody ever argues with:
- Cantonese Duo Roasted Platter
- Prosperity Salmon Yusheng
Kryston has created four curated sets, priced from $388.88 each, each including complimentary Modular Heating Trays. This practical detail matters more than people admit. Warm food stays warm, and nobody has to panic-reheat noodles at 9:40 pm.
Mini Feasts (15+ guests) and Buffets (30+ guests): Bigger Tables, Same Mood
When gatherings expand beyond the living room—family reunions, community celebrations, office banquets—Kryston shifts into larger catering formats.
Prosperity Mini Feasts (15 guests and above)
These 8- to 9-course menus, starting at $25.99 per guest, combine traditional New Year staples with modern favorites. The menu highlights include:
- Fragrant Yam Rice with Chinese Sausage and Mushroom
- Wok-fried Butter Prawn
- Signature Curry Chicken
- Bountiful Yam Puff with Seafood Treasures
Heating trays are included here too, keeping the whole experience calm and steady—no cold prawns, no sad buffet sadness.
Dynasty Buffets (30 guests and above)
For larger reunions and corporate events, Kryston offers Dynasty Buffets starting from $26.88 per guest, with a full festive presentation and professional setup.
Peranakan Grand Buffet
For hosts wanting something less expected than the standard classics, the Peranakan Grand Buffet starts from $36.88 per guest, featuring time-honoured Peranakan dishes including:
- Buah Keluak Ayam
- Itek Sio
This option feels made for people who want the celebration to feel more personal—less template, more heritage.
Early Order Benefit (and the Add-ons People Will Absolutely Choose)
There is also a simple early-order perk designed to prompt undecided hosts to act. Orders confirmed by January 23, 2026, qualify for:
- $30 off the Premium Auspicious Treasure Pot
- (usual price $388.00)
- with any buffet catering order
And because Chinese New Year is not the time for restraint, Kryston also offers optional celebratory extras:
- Truffle Roasted Duck — $98.80
- Trio Hakka Abacus Seeds — $88.00
- Rainbow Fruits Yusheng — $128.00
A CNY Menu Designed for People Who Want to Sit Down
If there is one thing the modern Lunar New Year season has made clear, it is this: hosts are tired. Tradition still matters, but so does sanity.
Kryston’s 2026 collection leans into that reality—offering festive food without turning reunion night into a production.
