Before we move into the throng of Deepavali and Christmas celebrations to mark the end of the year, we’re commemorating the start of autumn this October with a medley of seasonal dining events and exciting news happening in Singapore this October.
Following the sudden passing of chef Mok at Shang Palace last year, chef Daniel Cheung has taken over the reins at the Michelin-starred restaurant to continue the legacy of the Chinese locale with a refreshed menu that’s bound to impress. The season’s best offerings can also be found at establishments like Esora, while restaurants such as Dusk Restaurant & Bar and Braci are collaborating with celebrated wineries to create limited edition wine pairing dinners you won’t want to miss.
Keep up to date with all the dining news this month: from new menus to one-night-only dinners, read on for the full list.

One-Michelin-starred Shang Palace Singapore welcomes chef Daniel Cheung, who brings with him experience from the Michelin-starred Shang Palace in Hong Kong, as well as The Peninsula Hong Kong and the much revered The Jockey Club. Classic dishes at Shang Palace Singapore will remain, of course, but chef Daniel will also be presenting a slew of new dishes for diners to enjoy. Among those include the Cantonese Style Crispy Chicken, an incredibly crunchy number that will only be served 2-3 times a day because of the sheer amount of work that goes into it. Other favourites include the Applewood Smoked Bean Curd Rolls with Shiitake Mushroom, Carrot and Green Mustard, as well as the nostalgic Stewed Shrimp Pomelo Peel.

As the leaves in the other parts of the world turn into colourful shades of red and orange, we’re welcoming the change of the season the best way we know how: with good food.

The Chicken Wing mainstay, for instance, sees a stuffing of five five autumn mushrooms, while the summer figs in the Foie Gras Monaka are replaced by chestnut and persimmon.
